Is Anthony Joshua Changing Careers?

[@1GeneralDan]

This might help loosen him up because damn those kicks are stiff, but with training he can learn about transferring power via the correct hip movement and swivelling with his feet

[@Alan-fv1or]

kick boxing ironically improves boxing footwork especially if you can kick on both legs in both stances.

You can tell by his stance, it's still a boxing stance with attempts to kick. He is literally kicking as a boxer, his mind needs to change for his kicks to actually look like proper kicks. His balance is for boxing right now.

[@DoubleDrastik]

Good analyse ive did a bit of both. And what he is doing right now is keeping his center of gravity low. And for a proper kick u need to shift that to one leg to use it as leverage to twist your hips. Its basicly contra of each other . Learning to master both will have benefits.

[@yudodis]

Edit: Anytime pro boxers sheet on MMA guys' boxing technique in the octagon (already apples & oranges), no words, just reply with this video 😂 Elaboration: Boxing guys sheeting on MMA guys is like an NFL kicker sheeting on Christiano Ronaldo because he's better at place kicking. As if Ronaldo decided to focus on 1 narrow aspect instead of many, he too wouldn't be just as good. If top UFC strikers only focused on boxing, they too would be boxing world champions, so 🤫

[@SimonGonzalOS]

MMA fighters boxing is trash though. But those kicks like Adesanyas, Rountree, & Pereira are pretty nuts

[@dariusradu2369]

You can't compare a training video of a guy who clearly just recently started learning how to kick and he's still drilling it in order to get that right technique imprinted into his muscle memory with an MMA fighter's boxing during A FIGHT, where he is maxing out his performance potential lol.

[@KrisBishop78]

@@SimonGonzalOSMMA fighters don’t need boxing though… Boxing is too limited to work as a self defense art… The ref breaks you up for every little thing… You have pillows covering your fists to deflect punches with… Boxing is weird but I wouldn’t call boxing “fighting” either… Far from it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@yodatwinkie]

I would work him for free

[@SimonGonzalOS]

@KrisBishop78 Bruce Lee had boxing in his top 3 martial arts even with him focusing on martial arts with kill moves. It's not about the gloves or being limited to just boxing that matters. It's about how the body mechanics emphasized in boxing allow you to maximize power and because men are back dominant (women are leg and hip) it makes more sense for a man to be really good moreso at boxing than kickboxing but good to be well versed in that as well. Maximum power and strength can be achieved from competent boxing as a man (because of being back dominant). Kicking also is more energy consuming. Jose Aldo has gotten really good with his striking ever since he focused on boxing after I believe the Yan fight. The best fighters in UFC have good boxing or a jab. Topuria, Pereira, Yan, Aspinall, Makachev, etc.

[@staminasandro]

Coming from Taekwondo ITF and Thaiboxing, I can definitely say that that has helped me ALOT in regular boxing. You kinda get an unfair advantage in every way, long as you can keep your own mixed style and not be forced to a strict traditional boxing style because what is that? There ain't no right or wrong, boxing is in its foundation "hit and don't get hit". So don't let nobody tell you how to fight cause either you got it or you don't, if you do you know how you fight. Otherwise, be controlled then but we're called to be independent thinkers as boxers especially. That's what I like about it. It's all about you. Now you gone have to fight everybody for that spot to own the right to express YOURSELF - like Bruce Lee. PS Of course others help at first, but then it should be just about "you vs your opponent". Not the trainers or the coaches own ego, know what I'm saying. And that's where the spiritual warfare come in... it's always active. But nobody can own you or is above you except God Almighty, in Jesus name. Thanks for reading :)

I was a high level amateur boxer in my teens and have been training muay thai for a number of years in my 20s. Muay thai definitely helped develop some aspect of boxing for me especially with stance switching, long guard, hand fighting and clinching.

[@romanzelgatas]

Tremendous athlete. I will support what he does by tuning in, he got robbed for the belt, so let him put on the gold.

[@bobbysweeney5377]

Oh you know why Aj's training mma. He beat Francis's ass in the ring and is like, "wait, if this guy was some champ, maybe I need to make a run." And I guarantee you there is gonna be a fight in the works between the two

[@GGGxe]

boxing ain't MMA. Francis smokes AJ in MMA the same way AJ smoked Francis is boxing.

[@bobbysweeney5377]

@GGGxe I agree, but if Aj wrestled his whole school career, he would negate almost all of Francis's alternative attacks. Francis has gotten decent with his grappling, but yeah. An athletic dude like Aj, man he has every bit as much potential of shocking the mma world as Francis did

[@Foilfrenzy1]

A foot that is not turned out 45 degrees or more is not capable of allowing full hip rotation. Weirdly he looks too heavy footed for a boxer

[@zentzu4003]

he's a stiff boxer... so if he really wants get into this he needs to loosen up big time

[@siddiqisah1452]

Anthony Joshua has not developed the bone density, flexibility of the connective tissues there. The motor units have to learn how to fire that way.
