Boxing Training - 6 Tips to Improve Your Counter Punching

[@animalesurbanos6341]

After 20 years of martial arts training and finally at 30 start to brush up my boxing, I'm having a wonderful time learning with you mr. Sands! Thank you so very much! You are the best boxing coach I've ever had!

[@stevenhalliday7297]

you should put adverts on your videos. I wouldnt mind putting up with them you deserve to make money off the good advice you give. with 24000 plus subscribers you would make a few quid. just a thought.

[@myboxingcoach]

Thanks Steven. I do have ads on some of them. However, I actually sell a coaching product on my website so that helps. Just about to bring my second one out too. Cheers mate.

[@andrewtang5293]

steven halliday i agree with you

[@nomadik7]

5:51 "Write all your comments about how that's not a right hook down below". You are hilarious :D

[@alloftheabove97]

you probably have the best community on KZbin man no ones talking shit, everyone act mature no bs ... nice vid btw

[@myboxingcoach]

+herb mcgruff I think so Herb, thanks for that, very nice.

[@Lvnaticify]

Why do you keep your elbows so far from your body? My coach always insists that we keep our elbows on the body, above the abdomen, to protect it. It's especially protecting the liver and the stomach.

[@CyberwaveOrchestra]

Fantastic lesson :)

[@myboxingcoach]

***** Thank you

[@Brad45420]

+Fran Sands great points about tyson counter punching, i just wish he had had rooney and actually listened to him for many more years, cause as a shorter fighter i know how hard it is to do what he did, and th size difference he overcame all the time was amazing,

[@narutolex3]

thank you for taking the time and sharing

[@jamiesonchambers]

liked the last tip! always fire back after defence. so many times i find myself trying to avoid gettin hit and not throwin back

[@Schaufelor]

i know. It really is a great tip, i will try to do that aswell. I mean, that´s exactly the time when the opponent is most vulnerable.

[@mpaso111]

Thank you for the informative videos, they have made me approach boxing differently very technical

[@myboxingcoach]

Excellent, glad it helps.

[@myboxingcoach]

+joelsmusic28 Not a problem

[@RageNg]

Great boxing is great boxing. Consistent theme of all your videos.

[@lordoftheboxingring2020]

Thanks coach great technical lessons everything made boxing common sense... what must be taught though is that the muscle memory from the drills and repetitive movements will aid in a attrition fight because constant counter punch set ups and execution drains the stamina physically and mentally your conditioning must be superb to pull it off for the duration of a tough fight.

[@JORBCN1970]

What a wonderful coach!!!!!

[@terryneason7400]

G/day Fran,Just checking out your latest clip on counterpunching (raining here no work)You've done a great job mate that really covers it well.I love to see the various options open up for the young fellows as they learn to slip and counter etc.Anthony and I are doing alot of work on feinting and changing postion to get better angles at the moment and your clip explains it very well.(I will refer it to him as he sometimes gets sick of me harping at him I'm sure).Again,well done mate and I'll catch you down the track sometime.Regards Terry

[@myboxingcoach]

Terry Neason Hey Pal, nice to hear from you and thanks for the comment. Tell you what, if a top trainer is encouraging his world-ranked cruiser to watch the vids that will do me :-) Hope all is well with the family and the gym, look forward to hearing progress mate. Cheers, Fran

[@myboxingcoach]

+Jabad Ahmed Welcome, thanks a lot

[@MrHawk123]

fran thanks for the answer to my question about counter-punching part of the problem may be that i am seventy years old and possibly my reflexes are not what they were and that my brain is a little slower than it was.......i enjoy your videos........they are quite informative

[@myboxingcoach]

+Wayne Hawkins Excellent. Your wise-head will buy you a few bits of second Wayne :-)

[@68icerock]

thanx for the info!

[@myboxingcoach]

Dave Nunez No problem

[@myboxingcoach]

DUONG NGUYEN You're welcome, thanks.

[@mendozaeddie5856]

thanks

[@JHKuen]

Awesome! I just wish I can train with you

[@myboxingcoach]

Thanks

[@ChaPPie01]

even I'm a tall guy have problems time to time hit with my jabs or combo I can't do any combos because on our gym we are not sparring in the ring so the other person have more place to move and we are switching on every minute partner that's annoying it's hard to studying some one that short time..I love to try using my combos and all the stuff but this way I can't learn anything already 6 months on the gym and like I learn more on KZbin then gym dam:((nice video!!

[@myboxingcoach]

Thank you. Try to make the most of the sparring, whatever form it takes.

[@losboxing7837]

Frans the best out there

[@warrenx9737]

Can you point me in the direction of some good counter fighters who "make something to happen". Thank you

[@RuthlessMagi]

hey fran question. can u make a video for weight control not like get skinnier but a better way to put more weight in ur punch

[@myboxingcoach]

+Hood scientific It's all about technique to be honest. I coach punching to maximize power, maximise success and minimise effort. If the stance is right any of the punching vids on the channel will work. Hope this helps.

[@RuthlessMagi]

Thanks for the idea

Nice

[@joelsmusic28]

I rellay enjoy your videos Fran. I do have a question when you pivit left or right does it matter what punch you throw. Example (correct me please): If I pivit right am I set up for a Cross first or hook? and if I pivit left am I set up for Hook first or Cross?

[@myboxingcoach]

+joelsmusic28 Always easier to throw lead-hand shots as a general rule. However, don't restrict your self, throw each, both, whenever! Get comfortable.

[@joecoates8383]

How to close distance with out getting hit with jab

[@jassihra8566]

Hi, I would like to start boxing. Which boxing bag would you recommend me to purchase for home use? Can you also tell me the advantages and disadvantages in getting the straight boxing bag and the one which is featured in this video and the other various types ? Cheers Jas

[@myboxingcoach]

Conventional heavy bag Jas - check out this link on my site: www.myboxingcoach.com/boxing-punch-bag/

[@jassihra8566]

Thank you so much Sir :-D

[@68icerock]

nice!!

[@myboxingcoach]

Dave Nunez Thanks!

[@williambaker7181]

Do you think Terrence Crawford will conquer the 147lb division with his counter punching or does he get hit too much?

[@Holstboy]

Wouldn't you say that it's okay to sometimes, let your opponent tire himself out by throwing punches, while you're blocking them?

[@Zack-bn4ml]

Dropping gold nuggets for free!

[@choppedscrewed4962]

So I've been sparring this guy and Ive been having trouble landing punches on him. He's got his right hand glued to his face, moves around a lot and parry's my jab. I get tired "chasing" him around. I've been told to go to the body, which I've been trying to do with some success but how would I land a shot on the head when he parry's the jab and moves around? I've noticed he looks unbalanced and crosses his feet a lot when he backs up or moves to avoid a shot. I just feel so stiff and tired trying to chase him around and getting my jab parried.

[@myboxingcoach]

Try feints and make him come forward...draw him in. But mostly...lots of feints!

[@choppedscrewed4962]

Fran Sands I'll report back with results! Thank you!

[@sarahal3595]

Chopped&Screwed if he crosses his feet put pressure on him bc he will pretty much be off blance at one point, also if he keeps blocking and then moving, u could throw half a jab which is a faint and then throw a hook to the head or to the body in which ever direction he decides to move too, or u throw a faint jab, slip to the right and land a straight right hand, or throw a jab slip left and hit the body

[@sarahal3595]

Chopped&Screwed also don't chase him, be aware of the distance and cut the ring on him dont follow him around cut the ring

[@choppedscrewed4962]

Sarah Al Thank you very much 😅

[@darkzealot07]

damn i wish i could train wit this guy :[

[@myboxingcoach]

Thanks, very flattered

[@nutteloos99]

Top !

[@myboxingcoach]

nutteloos99 Cheers!

[@michaelramos1195]

I wish I had you as my trainer. Lol

[@myboxingcoach]

+Michael Ramos That's very flattering, thank you.

[@michaelramos1195]

+Fran Sands I appreciate your videos man. Wasn't even trying to flatter, you know what your talking about and that's what I like! Most appreciated.

Hello mr coach .subribe to your Channel .

[@seunghong]

Nice tips, but it’s not true that all the best counterpunches have the best jabs. Tyson and mayweather come to mind. They had jabs, but they were not among the best. And neither threw a ton of them.

[@PabloEscobar-kn1ss]

V

[@HittokiriBatosai]

That's not a right hook!!! ;)

[@gloverdragon6854]

I'm going to be honest and give my perspective as a Brit. I think British boxing is too stiff, british amateur boxing is highly based on technique but it has no rhythm, it has no soul to it and the heavy bases on technique leaves a boxer mentally and physically tired, everything is so robotic. The best boxers use substance and style because the two empower each other, the artistic style works with the substance style but British amateur coaches do not encourage style they only encourage the robotic technique. It leaves the fighter stiff and can never produce a fighter like leonard or a mayweather or a pernel whitaker. I think the Americas, both north and south continents and the Caribbean islands understand boxing the best, they've developed the most champions because of the mix of style and substance.

[@myboxingcoach]

Glover dragon Thanks for your thoughts. The US boxers and the Cubans definitely have a more fluid style. To be fair though GB boxers and certainly Eastern European boxers have achieved great things. The Cubans will always be top of the shop in my book though.

[@gloverdragon6854]

***** (SORRY FOR LENGTHY READ) Normally I would agree with a comment like this but the reality of british amateur boxing can not let me agree. I'm speaking from experience as a current london amateur boxer, I've been around by way of sparring and competing so I've had 1st hand negative experience and good experience when it comes to amateur boxing (well at least amateur boxing from london coaches and I've also had the pleasure of sparring up north as well. All the amteur gyms i've been to teach what Fran teaches, with a heavy emphasis on straight punches, and throwing straights only, infact bent arm shots are so detested that it is only covered in the gym but never allowed in sparring. Every london amateur coach i've seen is stiff as a board and they contradict with what they want in terms of winning a bout. They say they want clean straight punches with full technical execution and punches in bunches but if you actually watch an amateur bout this is never the case and the reason why its never the case is because it is physically impossible to throw punches in bunches with FULL TECHNICAL EXECUTION with straight punches and with speed only while at the same time being clean and crisp with how you execute the punch and at the same time being defensively aware. They favour the fighter who presses the action even when it is clear that the aggressor boxer lost to the more elusive boxer. Amateur coaches in london are also very VERY territorial and will quite happily hold back a promising young prospect of a boxer if that boxer deviates away from what they say is gods honest truth of how someone should box, they do not like any ideas that may go from what they teach even if the idea is beneficial....so MANY more vivid problems with uk OR rather london amateur boxing that i could go on about but this too long. If you look at manny pacman, he is so fast because his punches are "technically wrong" and aren't even thrown shoulder height (most of the time) this is why he is able to flurry with such power, intensity and speed...the draw backs are that his head and chin defense is open and he could end up braking his hand.
