How to get inside when fighting against a taller boxer

How the shorter boxer can get into close distance when fighting a taller opponent.

[@Juergen220367]

Frolov is a brilliant trainer. One understands now, what boxing is about: footwork, angles, balance. And thanks by the way to the translator!!

[@TheTARANISh]

old boxing proverb goes something like this: 1st most important thing in boxing is head, 2nd most important is footwork and last but not least your hands.

[@sindiinbonnienclyde]

@@TheTARANISh evasion by head, evasion by foot, if they fail then create a shield.

[@jackjack4412]

Has he coached any pros?

[@GuyFromTheSouth]

Its amazing to get this type of boxing coaching for free lol. This guy is a high level teacher.

[@johnleka5347]

Finally i can understand the words of coach Frolov

[@ThomasToPC]

“From Russia with glove” I love it! Thanks for the video! It reminds me of what Jack Dempsey wrote about the falling step.

[@tommydenato8863]

Yep. Exactly. Great book.

[@chriswyattyearwood]

I find myself watching these and rooting for the kid(s) to finally have that 'ah hah' moment and perform the technique just right. Great coaching. Thanks for the English dub.

[@mjolninja9358]

This video is so calming like watching a tv station past 1am

[@shinzjl]

my coach never goes through stuff like this in detail. i wish i had coaches like you here

[@MrX-wd8cm]

Very insightful, very few coaches advocate switching stance to broach a tall fighter's defenses but Dr. Frolov is spot on.

[@kreculjkreculj]

The difference between the relaxedness of the coach and stiffness of the apprentice is amazing hah.

[@KeithMason]

This is one of the best boxing videos Ive watched in a long time. Really well explained and looks like a really effective technique. Cant wait to watch more - thank you for this!

[@ophiolatreia93]

Agreed it’s just perfect

[@truereality84]

Reminds me of how Tyson used to get in close to taller opponents

[@maximloos3739]

[@buzzkill808raven2]

The way this guy moves is like the embodiment of 'drunken boxing' kung fu style...he slinks around, looking slightly off balance, slow, and harmless, then instantaneously straightens up and strikes like a cobra!

The instructor emphasizes the need for the shorter boxer to use bodywork to close the distance against a taller, long-handed opponent. He demonstrates a technique where the shorter boxer blocks punches with their gloves twice before sharply slipping to the side to initiate an attack. The importance of accelerating and committing to the movement without hesitation is highlighted. The instructor explains that the shorter boxer should not wait for the taller opponent's punches but should instead be aggressive and proactive in their approach. He warns that the most dangerous opponent for a shorter boxer is one who tries to catch them on the counter movement, using their height advantage. Proper footwork is emphasized, with a focus on pushing off the back foot and falling diagonally to maintain balance and effectively close the distance. The instructor stresses the importance of not pausing or freezing midway through the movement, as it gives the opponent an opportunity to counter. The shorter boxer is encouraged to maintain a wide stance, keep their head straight, and focus on countercorkscrew movements to generate power in their punches. Finally, the instructor advises against stepping forward deliberately but rather falling with the body, allowing the foot to naturally follow.

These videos are great. Shows why the likes of oleksander usyk and loma are way ahead of the others technically. Masters of feints and setting traps!

[@bajuszpal172]

Excellent idea, Old time instructors taught us the difference: when attacking legs and hands ar first and then follows the body, when defending the body is first and legs and hand only follow. The sidestepavoiding the direct is a defensive movement! It is that moment when concentration is to be changed on the body, which is dropped sideways and the leg movement follows. And then, again counterattack from a angle can follow, with legs and hands moving first and body is adding more weight to the punch. Many thanks. Paul, retired instructor of sports Karate,66

[@416blackmamba]

Wow thanks a lot for pointing this out. Been boxing for years but only now have I heard this concept.

[@erikadrianpap2279]

This is why russian boxers are so good. They have to be so respectful to the coaches and have to do everything perfectly. If you watch a russian amateur boxer, he/she doesn’t do so unirthodox and flashy movements. Theyre doing basic movements, but these movements are almost perfect! Good video:)

[@maximloos3739]

Aggressive style but without aggressive emotions

[@stevendaley4439]

[@jassdiaz9846]

Those videos are so valuable man. Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge !

[@jakecutting7227]

A teacher, a proper coach! This is how you coach .. superb - thank you

[@nemo5335]

It is kind of funny how the young boxer has been drilled and trained to keep his balance so well that he doesn't know how to fall.

[@exodus-wz8he]

as someone on the taller side this has been incredibly useful as ive been trying to figure out this idea of slipping into the inside against someone taller for a while on the bag. literally could not have been at a better time XD. cant wait for more!!!

[@jibberism9910]

Excellent stuff! Boxing doesn't need all that flashy stuff, it's beautiful in it's own right.

[@sindiinbonnienclyde]

A sharp change of direction == agility == rapid change of direction forced by an external stimulus. Only just started following this channel but it's great to see someone of this level share my mindset in many aspects of boxing. Ps plus learn some many new little things 👌🏾

[@EgeKai]

Thank you coach Forolov,you are assume😀👍

[@snipergang3298]

Am a short fighter and i always was teach , cut angles and strike first

[@danfors1333]

I watched this without sound first and thought that trainer is totally bullying that poor kid with angry nitpicking similar to JK Simmons in that drummer movie Whiplash. But after turning up sound I hear he's actually very calm and friendly and just very detailed in an excellently patient way.

[@vlad_o_sh]

Very helpful video! I am pretty tall myself, but this is why it seems even more difficult for me to get close when I get a taller opponent, as I am lacking the practice of countering those. The only thing that bothers me about this video is that it teaches a technique without explaining how to counter a taller opponent in general. This technique may be effective, but if you execute it many times against the same opponent he or she will at some point remember it and punch you while you're in this unfavourable side-step position. Love how the guy in the background instantly gets to practice while the coach is still talking to the camera. :)

[@joes46985]

wow, thank you for the knowledge!

[@garyhills-dl2he]

Just watched the video Nice coach

[@Veganphobic]

one thing that helps i find is being able to change stance. from orthodox to southpaw and step right.

[@videowatcher83]

Genius!!

[@lyassmith9620]

Very few coaches are the patience to go back over and over again until its under stood and corrected

This is amazing

[@maxpower856]

Very good Job!

[@desmondmccallum2916]

Great body mechanics breakdown. Tyson used that alot

[@leethrelfalllt]

Yes. Mike Tyson was brilliant at moving off the line and getting quickly inside his opponents. He trained this lot with Rooney.

[@boxersal9570]

Rocky marciano crouched stance was very effective at fighting tall fighters

[@Oracle_insight]

I use this technique a lot but I don’t step in at all with my left on the third punch. Step in on the first two, then on the third, just slip right and step your right foot up, unwind and throw the right cross.

[@brianwarner308]

Hell that kid even LOOKS tough!!

thanks alot for the video How you make the "sharp change of the direction if you are southpaw ?
