haha you just made me realize how weird it is that some of the most polite people on any youtube comments section are boxers.

[@thetruth5084]

Haha how is that weird? Have you ever been in a boxing gym before? Most of the gyms that I've been to have mostly good people.

it really helps... thanks!

[@italkedtobarzini4015]

Here is my issue with the very first part you mentioned, regarding stance: when a fighter is in the pocket, I think we would both agree that nothing less than a strong, tight and high guard will suffice. Now, what you're saying is stand more upright to prevent shoulder fatigue.This is an absolute MUST NOT, especially when within range - it undermines the whole point of a guard in the first place. To any novice reading this you should never stand upright, with your chin in the air. To help hit the point home, we should always think in terms of bringing the head down into the guard, rather than bringing the hands up. That is not to say you will not get shoulder fatigue. You will. From my experience, the only way to condition these muscles is to have the discipline in training to keep your hands up at all times, even when on the heavybag. In time, not only will the shoulders become conditioned enough, you won't even need to think about it, to the point where it will be instictual.

[@expertboxing]

BRAVO! I absolutely love the explanation of bringing the head down into the guard instead of hands up. Yes yes yes!

[@frankiedc4873]

I agree i tried it rn and my body feels so open and i feel way less agile. Please DO NOT get comfortable with this stance you will get beat up.

[@dominiknguyen9820]

thanks for the tips!

[@fkin8shyt]

Thanks for these videos man, it seems like you always upload them at the time I need em. Cause I was wondering how to condition my shoulders just 2 days ago so I could keep my guard up cause my Thai Boxing coach said I kept dropping my left hand but now I know some things that can help thanks to you. I really appreciate it man.

[@sugarsaint]

YO been a sub for years probably watched this video before but damn, this is the most BOSS MAN advise ever !!

[@expertboxing]

Good idea. I'll do it when I have a heavy bag. It's one of the most important skills in boxing!

[@sayto_00]

Good advice.

[@AndyNiceDude]

im in really great shape but always wondered why my shoulders were getting so tired. Thx. i was slouching and i pictured my power comming from my shoulder. thx again

[@expertboxing]

glad it helped you!

[@Godzillah]

this answere my shoulder question thanks, I don't know where you at i need a sparring partner.

[@expertboxing]

And it's usually the REAL BOXERS that are most polite. You gotta have respect when you're a fighter. Otherwise, everybody in the gym is gonna be looking to knock you out. Nobody likes a shit-talker.

[@ansibkhushal3580]

expertboxing I got fight in 2 weeks was on the pads jus felt so unfit my arms felt like I couldn't keep them up is there still time that I could condition them

I have Golden Gloves next weekend.

[@expertboxing]

i will cover that when I have a partner. it's a bit complicated to demonstrate as a one-man show!

[@iwishuthebest8460]

Hey Coach, how can i solve the problem of not being able to throw a left hook because of shoulder pain?

[@expertboxing]

Go resolve that shoulder pain. Maybe injury or bad technique?

[@BrandonGraphicz]

Knockouts will be kind of hard for me to do considering my size that I will be fighting at.

[@codeman95291]

hey, johnny great videos bro i'm a subscriber i just have a couple of questions.. my first question is who do you think would win between mayweather and pacquiao? my other question is how can i avoid getting really tense and relax when i spar? my coaches said i was too tense last time i spared i think a lot of it has to do with me not sparring much because i don't get to go to the boxing gym ever but even when i just hit the mitts or shadow box even i'm too tense and can't relax

[@kension333]

Is this boxing only though? In muay thai we learn the long gaurd. Which, is basically your palms out in front of you. Then, slam in with elbows or knees to close distance.

[@expertboxing]

I know nothing about Muay Thai.

[@kension333]

@@expertboxing Ever considered it? You could probably win quote a few matches just punching. In fact, there's an entire style called muay mat. Or, heavy puncher. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aabTkJ2ejrh3lc0

[@expertboxing]

Haha, kicking is hard for me. I don't have flexible legs. If anything...I would do it only to increase leg flexibility.

[@kension333]

@@expertboxing Bro, your boxing would be more than enough. Throw in some low kick training, doesn't even need to be above the waist. You'd be what's called to a muay mat, and I honestly don't think I've ever seen one throw a high kick. It's all angles, punching, knees, and low kicks. You could probably win a tournament or two without even kicking. But, you'd probably want to learn to check kicks so you don't lose to low kicks yourself

[@kension333]

@@expertboxing kicking is hard for everyone. It's def something that needs trained and doesn't come natural.

[@expertboxing]

I’d love to see your videos. Sounds to me you need more speedbag, or your weak arm is just not used to it yet.

[@hahacrackhead4100]

@@expertboxing can I ask when to use the speed bag? Like, do I do it after every workout?

[@expertboxing]

And workout, especially the biggest muscles in your body...like the legs.

[@expertboxing]

Mayweather & pacquiao, I say watch the fight when it happens. Relaxing while sparring, try to spar at a slower speed. Obviously you're going too fast, so slow it down. A tense guy can't handle the faster pace, so keep down the pace. It's that simple.
