In a real fight, all your memory about fighting and techniques are gone, you will panic. Try to remember to stay calm and fight smart, watch how he telegraphs his punches and counter. Be aggressive to throw him off.

[@Forenzikproductions]

Übermensch du Vogel Yeah you panic and go 'oh shit what do I do', that's why sparring is helpful

[@kkkdec9205]

+Übermensch du Vogel yea i started in 7th grade im in 9th now and i do mix martial arts and im a yellow belt in a fight i would just keep ur hands up and use upper blocks and move ur head side to side and counter

[@kkkdec9205]

Well for mine the is cause we do karate to and different types of martial arts

[@tjp2131]

I didn't even watch the video but I'll tell you a tip pro boxers use to see punches coming extra early. They keep their eyes on the opponents chest instead of the gloves, and when the left pectoral muscle flexes you immediately slip out of the way of any possible left hand. When the right pectoral muscle flexes, you slip and get your head out of the area where any right hand could reach. This gives you a head start on knowing what's coming at you and gives you extra time to avoid it landing on you.

[@MaxLohMusic]

The thing is pro boxers also know how to throw punches without giving tells like that in advance. That's why if you watch boxing videos like "boxing defense" highlights closely, you'll realize the top-level athletes are actually *predicting* when a punch is coming next, versus *reacting* to a punch. They often move their head even before the opponent has started throwing, so by the time the punch is thrown their head is no longer there. Mind games.

[@LetThereBeLightxx]

this can only work for shirtless opposition

[@GrowPotCheaply]

Even with a shirt it works, or even a large jacket. Rather I look at the center of the collar bone area. I rely on my peripheral vision to see the shoulders move. Peripheral vision is way better at seeing movement. There is an evolutionary reason for this. So your peripheral vision will react to the shoulders moving much faster than watching the chest. This is worked way better in my experience sparring. Body shots are harder to see coming if it is a counter punch to a punch I have thrown.

[@GrowPotCheaply]

KMT, you know of many possible combinations a boxer might throw, but that is why boxers mix it up, good ones anyhow.

[@milwaukeejohnson906]

[@streetztalkboxing4221]

+Milwaukee Johnson that's not a thug! that's a emulating wanta be

[@pepa007]

If you look at any street fight, or even MMA fight, maybe 98% of punches don't fully hit target - they miss, slip, hit guard, etc. They may be painful but generally don't incapacitate you. Most street knockouts happen when a guy stands still, or with hands down, or by a rather random haymaker. Just by keeping hands up and moving you minimize (though not eliminate) the risk of landing a knock-out hit.

[@Idkidk55957]

My mate got into a fight with someone on the street after a night of partying. The other guy was bobbing and weaving, while my mate was half tipsy. My mate knocked the guy out with a straight jab.. bobbing amd weaving couldn't save this guy.

[@silvastone1691]

Before I got into striking I wrestled in High School and my coach said that when you look at your opponent don't look directly at there face, instead look below the features of the face like the chin or lower so that their shoulders are in your field of vision. With a little practice I was able to see when my opponent extended their arm trying to grab me, I later applied that to striking where I SOMETIMES can tell when the punch is coming by noticing the twist in their shoulder for certain punches.

[@exi7840]

@@asniehusnie4791 but it will distract your focus

[@MaxLohMusic]

The average human reaction time is *0.25 seconds*. A jab takes *0.15 seconds* to throw without telegraphing. That's why it's near-impossible to "see a punch coming". Instead, (as this video touches on) one should try to PREDICT a punch coming. That is what professional boxers do; you can see when they move their head it's always preemptive, often before even the opponent has started throwing their punch, so by the time the punch is thrown their head isn't there anymore.

[@davesmith7384]

What I learned some twenty years ago is, when facing an opponent first thing to know is that you are going to get punched. You cannot see punches when they're actually trying to punch you with any real level of aggression. Second, what I noticed this video didn't speak on is head movement. Head movement was very fundamental to my schooling. Bobbing and weaving is how you dont get punched. As your boxing wisdom increases it starts to fit together better and you'll make it look fairly easy, like you see punches coming.

[@markkingi1252]

Thank you so much Shane ! Im from NZ . Just learning kickboxing bro im 42 and all the students are younger and faster lol! Admire you so much you are clear and easy to understand bro. Respect to you always!

I developed a habit of throwing likes before even watching your videos.

[@daveoverbey2032]

Shane your awesome & you fight smarter not harder. Your skillful & not a bully or cocky. I like your style & it makes me smile. Good luck & keep at it. I'm a retired construction worker but have always loved boxing & boxed for awhile & quit. Just three years ago I tried M.M.A just for fun & they tried to punish me with low kicks & no mercy, I quit for nearly 4 months & developed my own style & came back & laid all them out on their back. I fought back with muscle memory & leverage & they fought with the muscle hustle. I fight smarter not harder & I practice slow & easy developing the right habits & let the power & speed come natural. I school others now to bully proof tap n tag fight & defend. Please read both my comments. Dave Overbey

[@hectorsantino6850]

I loved how your trained in other styles of fighting besides boxing. And the fact you teach makes me trust and practice everything you say

[@tjp2131]

Pro boxers should be able to name all the most common angles punches come in at, and the movements to slip out of each one on command. If a trainer yells "left hook!" he should instantly dip under moving to the right outside the path a left hook has to travel to land. Any punch your trainer calls out you need to be quick to slip to avoid the only path the punch would travel. Every punch has only one angle that it comes from. Know the exact movement that gets you out of the way. This is very important. I hope it makes sense.

[@righteouskingsiddhartha7751]

Thanks for helping me out man. Will keep that in mind for my future matches.

[@ClearChoiceMethodology]

You also should mention what stance they're taking if I'm using south paw and they throw a left in orthodox I'm just stepping to the right because if you dip it could easily end up being a bad connection.

[@chimericalical]

I love how similar strategies and concepts for actual fights compare to fighting games. The jab cross hook guy you described reminds me of the term “autopilot” used for games like Streetfighter, tekken, smash Bros, marvel vs capcom, etc. to describe someone who’s running on autopilot and muscle memory rather than actually consciously deciding what to do next, making them predictable and easy to counter. But in general I find that a lot of the tactics I’ve learned from playing games like Streetfighter apply to actual fights. Like dealing with someone who’s got better range than you. Spacing. Zoning. Footsies (you actually covered this in a different video but never called it footsies). In street fighter footsies is when you step into attack range and throw out a “poke” (a quick long range attack) then step out of attack range. Usually done with low kicks (hence the name). And you go in and out of attack range to try and bait your opponent to commit and open up for you to follow up with either a counter attack or a punish (not sure if this term is used in actual fighting, but basically taking advantage of a whiffed or blocked attack with one of your own). The concepts I’ve learned from fighting games have helped me with sparring and looking at my own strengths and weaknesses and figuring out how to use the tools I have.

[@noahbell6120]

[@gabrielvilla6274]

My friends don't know how to box so when I spar with them they literally just swing everywhere unpredictably

[@nazgulx9859]

Same hahahaha

[@TheVisioneye]

@Gabriel Villa Yeah if they're going against pro boxer or someone that knows how to fight in general. They'll get countered easily and ko'd fast. 'Cause rushing, you'll time the punch, catching it or slipping it. Then once first punch is dodged or catching it, they'll throw the other one, that's too predictable. Ik people like that, their punches to throw are back to back rush jabs. They can be countered easily and easily predictable.

[@wavyant1504]

[@rickzrevillas9998]

I'm that friend haha

[@byza101]

In the few streetfights I had when younger, I was always waiting for the right. Kind of ignored jabs and kicks, waited for that right to come, slipped under and executed a combo from the side that involved punches and kicks, knees and elbows and an occasional head butt and eye gouge. 3 and 0, but only 0 because I was able to walk away. Older now, not out on the streets anymore, shouldn’t be a worry anymore

[@briando1026]

I've been an fights before and I've noticed that if you watch your oppenent shoulders it helps to catch/ dogde the punches

[@jaguarstrikesagain7927]

You can increase visual awareness and reaction time by doing an exercise where a friend holds a pair of focus mitts and at their own pace they intermittedly attack with a punch or kick. This with practice can improve your ability to see a strike coming and counter properly and quickly.

[@TrojansROCK41]

I like the longer videos better than the short ones. Bad ass tips thanks man

[@titan333]

One should never think about the possibility of seeing punches in combat. Art of war is to counter because attack enables lack of defence. Thinking about the possibility enables the fighter to wait, there is no time to wait, only time to react. Questions like this lead to answers that should not exist. Basically do not have the intentions to know what the enemy may think, become the enemy, that way you destroy his image and use it to defeat him. Peace

I think i've heard Mayweather say in an interview that he doesn't watch his opponents fight footage. Which i thought would be kind of impressive.

I'm not a fan of his but he doesn't fail at doing what he does.

[@Ishworisbored]

yeah

[@twistedstrength.]

Good basic advice, especially for beginners. Intermediates can also benefit by observing the legs of the opponent. When throwing a punch, people, untrained and trained, can put power into those shots by planting the feet in the correct placement at the right time. That can help you anticipate shots some of the time if you practise it.

What would you recommend for those who know the fighting style of boxing but are more likely to freeze when encountering a street fight?

Jumpe69 you shouldnt be so close minded to liking only one form of combat sports...i suppose your right though about the kicks and takedowns but this video is about seeing punches and boxing is the sport where they are thrown at the highest level. if this was mma i would not give the title of best defense to anderson silva because he is known for keeping his hands down extremely low and gets tagged occasionally (chris weidman fight) the best defensive fighter in mma should be someone who rarely ever takes any damage in fights and rarely has any wars. that probably is jose aldo or dominick cruz

I have been boxing for 2year's now, the more you spar the more you get used too fighting. You adapt too the jab's and hook's, you well be able to predict them as if it's 2nd nature. You gain it you don't try to predict the consistence of the jab until you become use too fighting(Sparring) If you're new too boxing and trying to predict the jab or hook's it's pointless you will get hit every time, new boxer's aren't use to getting hit as hard so the first time you get punched in sparring it feels like somebody shoved your face with both hands. They tend too become timid and scared too strike because they still aren't used too 1.Striking 2. getting hit that hard. Practice Head movement techniques and footwork too be able too natural counter, but mainly be active on your striking.

Another tip is focus on just one eye to confuse them even more

[@panstriato2]

***** My kung fu instructor teaches me to hover my sight on the torso from the center of the chest to the belly button, it is hard at first but later can be don effortlesly. it allows to see kicks and punches quickly with peripheral vision. Also, while sparring I sometimes look at the legs and attack the head, people who look into the eyes are easy to trick that way.

Well he said YOU wouldn't be able to do it. Not Adesanya wouldn't be able to do it.

[@AMVhuntingSyndrom]

Shane I have a next question for you: How can I get motivated before a fight/tournament? The biggest problem for me is, that when I'm standing in front of the ring, I get scared, when seeing my opponent (although I try not to show that) Could you please help me/us? :)

[@pamlemm903]

Preworkout! Haha jk

[@Abhi-hd9fj]

Acknowledge that fear its normal, take deep breaths and focus on give your best rather than expecting the result

[@Deleteriously]

Excellent tips! The only thing I would suggest adding is to read their body positioning for what strikes are avialble. When I am watching professional fights I usually call the fighters punches/kicks/knees/elbows just based off of what it appears is available. I also do this in sparring and it helps me anticipate what is coming, so that I can throw the counters I want to.

[@adyatanmishra7415]

The most important video for me.😊 Thanks

[@Rard.]

Now I can see the belt, the slippers, the plates, They cannot hit me anymore.

[@jakc3d]

Shane, i'm no boxer or muay thai fighter, nor am i a martial artist. In fact, you'd kick my ass in a fight but i heard that one of the best ways to practice seeing punches coming, specifically for beginners, is to simply have a partner of your same skill level throw punches that aren't too fast at first. Just become accustomed to having punches coming but it has to be against someone of your same skill level doing it, not a pro like you Shane. There are no patterns to look for at first. Just practice seeing fists come at you, even if you get hit.

[@sylvainbastid654]

Hi, Practice is the best way to become able to see punches coming, because you need to have a nearly 0 time reaction and become acustomed. But Shane's advices are very good to improve your success rate ;)

[@kyranmunday3178]

you have helped me so much man. I rarely slip or try to dodge anything tho I take pride in my blocking training.

[@bTwice2x]

very insightful. thank you brotha.

[@togogot0]

Hey Shane what to do with your jaw\teeth when you are in a street fight and you don't have a mouth piece to protect your teeth. Is it better to close your mouth tight and to risk teeth breaking or to leave it "relaxed"?

[@prod.bymxdrvn0674]

You should always keep your teeth clenched because that will help to not break your teeth

[@scorekeeperjay683]

Clench your jaw

[@bencovington1121]

Keep your jaw tight! If your jaw is loose your teeth will roll away like chiclets down some street

[@incognitivedistortion8800]

I know Im not shane but on the street you position like mike tyson. You don't leave your mouth open ever!! You do bite down but not just that you tilt your chin downward toward your chest as far as you can while still feeling comfortable. The reason why is because if your teeth clack together when your adversity lands your teeth will break. Tilting your chin to your chest protects you from punches and upper cuts too which will shatter your teeth. After you touch your chin as close to your chest as comfortably possible you raise your shoulders not too much but slightly. Then get on your trippy toes. Pull stuck your guard in nice an tight! That is the best boxing defensive stance in a street fight to protect your chin and teeth from being shattered. If you want an example of what I'm talking about look at iron Mike Tyson or Balrog from the video game street fighter who was actually designed to have mike tysons peekaboo stance.

This is the type of advice you get from an inexperienced trainer / fighter. Using it will get you KTFO.

[@plankton9275]

Because the gayboy with purple hair is definitely the guy to take advice from;)

[@ErikChainsawCharles]

Plank Ton I appreciate the endorsement but don't listen to me just because I have awesome hair. I've been training, competing, and coaching combat sports for 28 years. I've learned a few things.

[@joshuasweet5854]

Erik Charles Well helpful advice, not just critiques, are welcome. And if you can dispute each tip one by one, that'd be great. Watch your opponents chest (because it's his center and you can easily see his arms and legs) is terrible advice because...? Watching for patterns and trying to understand your opponent will get you KTFO because...? Trying to manipulate your opponent (especially if you correctly identify patterns) is only something an inexperienced trainer/fighter would advise due to....?

[@ErikChainsawCharles]

Joshua Sambula You do have a good point and I do understand. I'm pretty critical sometimes. It's not that the advice is bad. I'm not a Shane hater, it's just annoying to me the way he over simplifies the skill, talent, and ability it takes to "see a punch" coming. It takes years to truly get it and not every one will regardless of coaching or fight tips. Get in the gym, train, and study. That's the "secret."

[@ringworks]

I enjoy Shanes videos but I have to agree with Erik on this one. I think a lot of his videos are very...'martial arty' and show a great degree of inexperience in many areas. From this one to the fighting larger opponents etc. I think when it comes to fighting, those who do it or have done it, will always know and those who have not will only ever assume. And put simply people do not know what they do not know. Hope that you are well and training is swell Erik.

[@TurboFpv]

Droppin' mad knowledge!

[@neomileft3409]

Thanks again Shane, may God bless you more.

[@icr3eki806]

My partner has much higher reach and always jabs starts combos with jabs keeps distance with jabs so i noticed and slipped and i could just throw that uppercut and it landed clean Very helpful tips

[@hospitalcleaner]

Yup you need a rhythm...unless your name is dominic cruz!

[@Harikrishnan-vk6ct]

Nice tips...appreciate it✌

[@SonofThunder]

awesome explanations. thank you.

[@leoprzytuac3660]

Daredevil saved this in watch later

[@warrenc1903]

also know, most of the time someone has to stop moving to punch,so if they r kinda walking around they will most likely stop before they throw a punch

[@nycg801]

I'm not even a pro fighter or amateur one at that I more got into street fights but on God everything this dude is saying is what I used to do in a fight,I need to go to a boxing classes

[@isaacalzate8262]

This is the fourth of your videos that i learned something on just today and i am going to practice it.BY THE WAY I KNOW HOW TO FIGHT I CAN MANY PUNCHES AND SUPPORT A LOT OF PAIN PLUS I CAN DEAL MORE PAIN THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON MY AGE CAN BUT THE MAIN THING I ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT WAS WHAT IF THEY KNOCK ME OUT AND SINCE YOU RELEASED THAT VIDEO ABOUT NECK AND CHIN WORKOUTS I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING ON THAT.ALSO THE FAKING YOUR PUNCHES WITH THE HELP OF YOUR SHOULDERS AND THROWING PUNCHES TO KEEP YOUR OPPONENT FROM CLOSING RANGE IS GOOD TO I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT PLUS THE SEEING PATTERNS THAT'S SMART TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

[@kingjoe97]

Q- Are there any good techniques to recover from a facial punch as fast as possible?

[@SCNLemo]

I have noticed that training your balance helps and good neck muscles. But getting used to it is a good way to learn how to handle it as in most things in martial arts. If you get kicked/punched when training you will learn how to take it and handle it.

[@Clanker997]

Usually in a fight, adrenalin is pumping and a hit in the face doesn't affect you too much.

[@charliescott9494]

shane has a video on strengthening neck and jaw muscles which is helpfull, ^^

[@jhinzoIV]

if youre gunna take a hit, rather than force yourself against it, just ride the punch. what i mean is, take the hit and move with it, boxers do this all the time to take minimal damage

[@phantomdancer3279]

KillTheClanker997 even with adrenalin punches hurt, some of your energy is taken out every time u get hit and a clean shot could rock u even though it doesnt hurt as bad your brain still gets confused.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

Totally wrong, Shane! You want to see or be able to tell what punch is coming? Well, always watch the FRONT ELBOW AND FRONT KNEE to determine the type and direction of the strike. The elbow and knee travel at HALF SPEED when they throw a jab or front kick and ONE QUARTER SPEED when they throw a hook and roundhouse kick. If you watch the fist or foot, by the time you see it, it will be TOO LATE and it will already be on top of you. Because any boxing derivative uses the elbow out method, and because the knee is closer to your eyes than the foot, you can spot movement in the elbow and knee BEFORE the fist and foot reach you. This allows you time to react to the attack and take appropriate action. For example, if the person throws a hook, he has to bring his elbow up and around to do so, giving you time to spot his attack. Same goes for a kick. With a roundhouse, he brings the knee out, so you can know that this kick is coming and take appropriate action.

[@MohsinKhan-kl9vj]

This guy is amazing give him a medal

[@SaabioM]

All good tips. Two things I'd add; Others may have mentioned these, but it's vital to train keeping your EYES open. Also, use position and angles to limit the opponent's options. The fewer things you have to defend against the better. ✌
