What would you recommend for "off the bag" workout? Abs, obviously but, what else? I've heard that some professional boxers don't do any weight training, what is your view on this? -Thomas T

[@dominicgiglio-tos5982]

I remember my first fight; it was against someone a good bit taller than me. I had only sparred someone taller than me once. I lost that fight because I had no idea how to effectively get inside. I've been working on it every week sense. Thanks for the video!

Niice! This is exactly what I needed. I've always had trouble getting in on taller opponents. Your videos has been a great help to still allow me to train at home. And I can't wait to try out a lot of what I've learned from this channel when gyms in my city open up again. Thank you 🙏🥊 🥊

[@patrickscohy3053]

Thank you Brandley for this question. Clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks Tony.

[@rafaelcarrera9436]

The 1-2-1 is a high percentage entry even when kicking is allowed. A consideration that needs to be made is when the opponent favors lead leg push or side kicks, especially if they are good at baiting you in by chambering their kick. In these instances punch and movement feints become much more important, as well as the use of lead leg chopping or teeps just prior to entering with a 1-2-1.

[@bluegiant13]

I tried this today at boxing classes. It WORKS like a charm. The most important thing is to do the feint at the beginning. The feint is key. It works with 1,2, 3 combo and with multiple jabs as long as you feint.

[@daverage4729]

can you make a video on how to be relaxed while boxing and not stiff

[@csalisbury001]

Especially when under pressure, that would be good.

[@gabrieldaryscopoulos6143]

Remember to breath, be conscious about it. Also, when you're out of his range, relax your muscle, keep this also in mind. Don't punch super hard when it's not necessary, soft but quick punches are also very effective to keep the pase. Remember this three things when you're sparring or fighting and you'll defently feel the difference. Good luck and stay safe, fellas.

[@r3klessgaming995]

Hey just discovered your channel. loving all the videos. Been boxing for around a year now on and off took it up after a bad breakup with my ex and it helped me get through it mentally and I get to stay really fit at the same time. I'm quite naturally big and muscly which doesn't help with my issue and I know a lot of beginners suffer with this too. One of my biggest problems is I'm too tense/ stiff all the time and so I get tired out very easily and it also affects my speed and being able to throw longer combinations . so can you do a video on tips on how to loosen up or some drills for shadow boxing or heavy bag to incorporate this ? Thanks for all the awesome stuff

I like this video, but I wished at the end that you guys did a live drill where the opponent was backing away from you while you tried to get inside, because this is what has happened in practice for me which adds another level of complexity. On ropes, they side-stepped away.

Thing is it's mostly mental once you train against taller people or one's with longer hands you get used to going inside take s awhile but this video helps

[@johnreyes7835]

Great advice coach. What do you think about stepping forward with the jab in stance then stepping forward and switching stance while stepping and throwing the cross and then stepping forward and punching while throwing the last jab back in the original stance? I've seen a lot of eastern European boxers do this.
