that 2nd opponent was trying hard to close the distance but every time you hit him with the counter hook, nice shit man you are looking so clean!

[@BoxingWannabe]

very inspirational! hope you make it far in your boxing career!

Watching vids of how Keyshawn was from vids of 6 months ago to now, MAJORRRR difference. Yall most definitely helped him and put him through the work. GOOD SHII

[@friendlyboxers]

that means a lot to us man thank you fr 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ics5073]

Gave second dude cte for the day. Suggest when ur fighting someone of lesser skill as him, learn to practice on ur sht rather than just getting punches off to make a highlight. Practice counters, practice head movement, practice accuracy. It doesn’t always have to be a beat down and if it is then get the beat down that helps u not him. U happened him more than you did urself that time. U we’re being pretty throwing sht that he’s gonna download and get better off of. Now ur there landing everything thinking those same things are gonna translate to the next guy.

[@kyshawnn1484]

and your absolutely right, my mindset wasn’t the best. however my plan was to have ring dominance, i was being way to comfortable backing up and losing control and allowing opponents to get off on me (in training)as well as trying to replicate the intensity in a fight. In training it is very difficult to replicate unlike going to a smoker show like this one. ofc it was not my intention nor my desire to beat anyone up, but i can say i had tunnel vision and absolutely see what your saying. I did say my apologies and we became friends and shared a lot of conversation and respect right after the spar

[@M3fightz]

i understand this take and i mean no disrespect but at the end of the day it is boxing bro.. it’s a dangerous sport and while just brutally beating on someone won’t help them improve, tryna always hold back won’t help either. sometimes holding back too much creates a sense of fall confidence and when it’s time to really throw down that false confidence can get you seriously hurt . i believe there is a healthy balance, and although kyshawn landed a lot of hard shots i wouldn’t say he was going out his way to hurt the kid i think he was just really focused on his own work. not to mention it’s an open sparring event/smoker and these are usually held for green fighters to get real fight experience without having to worry about it counting towards an official record. there seems to be coaches as well as the ref and they had the authority to stop it at any point in time. bottom line that kid definitely learned a lot from this and surely will be back better 🥊. peace to you and may god bless you 🤝🏾

[@ics5073]

@@M3fightz dude it’s not abt holding back, there’s countless things he could’ve worked on. There’s a difference from working on something else rather than sitting there just being a hook merchant to drop someone. Homie coulda worked on his pull counters, his head movement, his defense hands down. It’s not about bringing urself to a lesser level. I’ve been on both ends and they both feel shitty. But more so the being the bully, because I feel like I go in the ring and it was a waste of time cuz all it feels like, is a warmup rather than a spar.

[@M3fightz]

@@ics5073 my bad i’m late but i hear you brotha, not saying your wrong , just tryna highlight that although he could of worked on other things it’s not as if he’s just a bully. as i said i believe there is a healthy balance, especially when someone is training to compete . those moments where you feel helpless but still have to fight, or when you get rocked w a good shot and there’s still 2 mins in the round etc…. if you’re trying to compete only experience can really teach that.regardless the kid he sparred still learned and will grow from the experience

yooo way you switch high guard, philly shell and hands down reminds me of subriel matias. good shit bro

Very relaxed, ima take some notes 📝

[@Asasukie]

lol first opponent came out swinging but couldn't keep up once Keyshawn started to bring it as well.

[@kyshawnn1484]

bro fr, i wasn’t expecting that

[@Asasukie]

@@kyshawnn1484 I feel bad for the second dude though, he's much smaller and less experienced. Kept eating jabs although his hands were up. No adjustment.

[@kyshawnn1484]

@@Asasukietrust me, i had so much guilt after the adrenaline wore off

[@ics5073]

@@AsasukieI was saying. Just felt like a beat down for no reason, no type of knowledge was gained putting it on him like that. Too much emotion really, and the show boating made it 10x worse. Needs gym etiquette

[@Asasukie]

@@ics5073it happens to most of us at the beginning, especially after a hard round, we are so pumped up with adrenaline and we just want to dish it out. Hopefully through time and experience we all learn to have better control. You sound like a great sparring partner, respect to you!

Guy in blue headgear and red gloves is pro boxer?

[@liaca27]

What made you invest into philly shell? Did you naturally gravitate towards it?

[@kyshawnn1484]

honestly, i’m still in a awkward phase of find a guard that suits me, one day i did really good in the shell and it’s doing me well…until now and i feel i have to be more versatile with my gaurd selection

[@kyshawnn1484]

it’s a learning process, i don’t think i’m a person who can only stick to one gaurd only so i’m still experimenting

[@Fitbyalii]

I like this video but we need more of that pro fighter giving advice and tips

[@bruhmomentcentral6052]

whats your routine as self taught

[@kyshawnn1484]

so much attention to detail and footage, form and technique, mental warfare, ring iq, cardio and conditioning, being humble and bringing myself back to earth when i think i’m too cool to do something else, training with pure intensity, be a sponge to knowledge, spar to master skills and experiment instead of sparring to leave with nothing learned or not knowing why something happened and the way that it did. and accepting all the imperfections and complications and also accepting there’s time to be better and every opportunity to do so. As well as attendance, your either in it or your not

[@elijahflores5873]

Would love to see you on misfits next year

[@kyshawnn1484]

[@friendlyboxers]

thank you boss for always supporting 🫡 glad you enjoyed

[@flyingunicorn7779]

How much you weigh bro ?

[@mal3293]

My advice is to use more feints and don't allow opponents to get so close they back you up or cover your guard, you adapted well to almost all of the boxers but the last one alot of these boxers had balance and guard problems that you were quick to exploit but add more feints and change the angle consistently don't get caught in the brawls you brain will thank you

[@kyshawnn1484]

thank you for advice, i should maintain distance and keep my fights at my range at all times
