This guy so relax, cool and calm I wish I have enough money to have him coach my son and myself👍

That's the thing stupid sponsor and people with money don't see that poor people like us suffer for that shit. Not being able to pay a fee that we can't cause we're striving.

He's the nicest puncher I ever encounter. Like when he threw that jab 0:23, I just feel the sadness in his eyes! He surely doesn't want to hurt anybodu! I can see it in his eyes!

Thanks for your comment and thanks for visiting our channel. Jeff is a great guy.

[@tsb7911]

"Most important part is getting it back." Right on! I see many pros who throw a great jab and then bring it back lazily.

[@robbybee70]

I'm glad I fianlly have a name to go with the 'spear' jab !

[@KnockoutInvesting]

I need to hire Jeff as my trainer. The guy knows what he is doing.

You couldn't afford him so keep dreaming

[@makakoakalani8122]

And he funny to so least he ain't a dick trainer hes a trainer that would laugh and tease the whole time 😂😂😂

[@matthewmielke7161]

Jeff is a very good boxer. His pro career may not have lived up to the mayweather name. But his actual ability was very good. But he didn't have much power. He had the speed, the defense, the footwork, but he didn't have the power so he couldn't get very far. But in terms of technical boxing. He was fantastic.

[@toryalexander5704]

His fundamentals were great. Glad some one else can appreciate him aswell. I actually can see what Floyd learned from his uncle.

GOOD DEAL.. DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD THIS SERIES!

[@313-Badr]

I dislocated my left shoulder in my early years and since then my jab gets lazy after like couple rounds and tbh it’s pointless after a certain points and a feel like my shoulder gonna snap if I keep jabbing so I end up just hooking and uppercuts can someone help me please ?

[@michaelbartley858]

I'm no boxer, but i've had a few lessons. I was once taught a jab where you turned your fist over completely, almost to the point where the knuckles of of your fore finger and index finger were actually pointing down to the ground. sounds crazy but within about ten minutes i was hitting harder than i ever thought possible. it was amazing.

[@xQwarl]

that actually works

[@Cambodia69]

And that twist at the very end of the jab (where it pops) will slice up someone's face up real nice like. Stinging sweat in the eyes is one thing, but blood is as good as a blindfold.

[@namorfilusnew1821]

In kung fu that kind of fist is used.

[@tropiconix6934]

Michael Bartley martial arts...

[@davidnunez1331]

I was taught the same

[@Gabriel-fb8ng]

That moment you realize the guy doing the mitts wasn’t even twisting his knuckles after his coach explained how you’re supposed to jab

[@tstfl1618]

Gabriel Zaragoza he was it was just too quick to see

[@unk594]

He is, just turn the playback speed down.

[@traktitch2364]

The guy throwing the jab always twitches his right arm when he's throwing a jab and it pisses me off more then it should

[@JBtheJMB84]

Saw that right away...I feel you.

[@KnockoutInvesting]

What are you talking about? The right hand he is keeping in really good defensive position while ready to launch a right cross. It's ideally place and moves according to the momentum of his body.

[@bigbassnation9969]

Berkeclor92 yea but if u look closer he does jolt his right hand just before throwing a jab.

[@Gary109]

jermaine taylor does the twitch thing too and it worked in his favor

[@blacksharkswimmer3729]

Fake one. Real one. Fake one. Real one. That's why the right arm twitches. He set his opponent up

[@jamesmiles9048]

I'm actually kickboxer I love up jab as like to keep my distance leave one hand down to defend kicks to body or take downs mma,but I can't find any videos that can help tips making up jab even better ?,not many boxers use it David haye Roy Jones prince naseem,I don't understand this as much quicker better disguised from hip

[@evilwaysfighter]

James Miles work on quick reflexes have someone toss tennis balls all over the place only catch with the jab hand but keep footwork going like a fight also look up fast twitch muscle excersise did me wonders

[@fabipr7078]

also dont make your jab predictable and do not load it. thx for the video!

[@kevindean3256]

J May baby

[@flydroop6065]

Yooo wtf why he flinching so hard that slows your jab down

[@Zakawaka45]

the guy in the white is under extending his jab and twitching his other arm so that makes him easy to telegraph

[@NateIscold]

Somebody auntie is nice wit the jab

[@mst7155]

I m a newcomer to boxing..... A question: how about the legs movement if you want to add power to the jab?

[@user-eu4sj5is5e]

Yes good

[@josephforrester6205]

Is that Cortez bey with Jeff

[@davidorme1993]

Did not know about that spear jab. Almost like an uppercut, but not quite.

[@Kryptdegen]

1:10 looks like what Rocky lockridge did to that guy in the street

On that Mexican meat here Jeff!

[@sam56094]

Someone told me not to turn the nuckles when throwing the jab , they told me throw it straight with no rotation

[@r.k.4537]

The #3 jab isn't what Wladimir Klitschko used most of the time?

[@Idk-xi1tr]

He looks like vinicius junior lol

[@robertbrown3400]

He forgot to mention how to make it less of an arm punch. How much ass do you put into it and how to do that without slowing yourself down. They didn't mention distance or using the jab as a way to figure out distance etc. I clicked on this thinking Jeff would go a little more into it. :(

[@SirStanley87]

Robert Brown where is the link you talking bout will it work on south paws?

[@robertbrown3400]

I dont remember mentioning it. I know right handers that fight southpaw would usually have a quicker, more snappy jab.

[@bravoda1]

J Ger 😂 ✌.

[@solemagus4761]

I learned a tip from Bruce Lee.. he would watch Ray Robinson and Ali through a mirror to see how they fight as southpaws.. Bruce was right handed and believed in having his strong hand as his lead like most right handed southpaws.. I did the reverse and watched southpaws to how they would fight right handed.. and observed guys like Pacquiao, Winky Wright..Pernell Whitaker and Marvelous Marvin.. helped me out alot =)

[@dannanrik]

Eddie Futch says there are 4 jabs in his book.

[@LittleRapGuy]

[@yazeedalahmadi8760]

He used to be big guy what happend to him

[@thefortressishere]

Zero mention of the single most critical part of the jab... FOOTWORK!!

[@killercroc4733]

Earthly Wanderer some coaches teach different from one another, thats why there are so many styles and great athletes in the boxing industry.

[@thefortressishere]

@@killercroc4733 I appreciate that, but footwork is critical to any style. Especially anyone learning must know about footwork as it's the single most important part of the formula in order for a jab or any other strikes and without that key ingredient it won't ever be quite right.

[@killercroc4733]

Earthly Wanderer yeah but what I really meant was that most gyms focus to much on just striking and less footwork. Im not an expert or anything but my guess is that its best to work on one portion of boxing (beginners) to get them comfortable with that part then to just say ok move your feet in between or as you strikes, it would be a mess for a new comer to combine both striking and footwork, would recommend footwork first because its the most important aspect in boxing and thats a fact. Im a striker myself (not a boxer) and sometimes forget all about correct foot placement but still manage to do ok. Still need some work through.

[@thefortressishere]

@@killercroc4733 The best way to learn is by combining the hands and feet together from the very beginning. Otherwise you become accustomed to using only hands, or the footwork. It's absolutely crucial to learn both together. This is a common mistake most trainers fail on.

[@killercroc4733]

Earthly Wanderer yes this is true, the way I learned was footwork first, giving good explanations as to why we need it, the importance of pivoting, and learning how to cut angles. To me your feet is most important do to the fact that it makes up for your defense and offense striking comes last and once you've gotten a bit better with your feet then its time to work the hands. Like I said earlier I focus a bit more on my striking then working on whats most needed, im a muay thai practitioner and if you didn't know already muay thai's footwork is pretty basic as in your just walking back, forward, and side to side. Sometimes you have to take another route to get better even if it's not the right way of doing it.

[@mattbucchiotti3123]

No need to pull back before jabbing

[@lockeddownboxing9904]

I just don't like the way the guy in the white shirt telegraphs his normal jab. There's always that round movement with his fist before he goes for the jab.

[@The_Bearded_King]

For the standard jab, he has a bad tell. He’s dropping his hand ever so slightly before he lets it go. Nice power but an experienced boxer will catch that and throw a counter right over his jab.

[@markp.8329]

Yeah, exactly. He could work on disguising his movement by keeping his hands moving. Then that tell would just be part of his overall movement.

[@vykintasjocys6401]

[@cryptohood401]

And Mayweather got all 3 in his vault

[@timwitherspoon1378]

Terrible Tim here. Hello Jeff!!!

[@myrusEW]

The guy throwing the jab moves his hand away from his chin and pisses me off because he's going to get uppercut on his jab because that's a very obvious habit.

[@therealjake3288]

I'm pretty sure that was Jeff slapping the f outta charlie z

[@Konanan]

You can beat a guy with just a jab alone, just like GGG did to Canelo in the first fight

[@MoneyManuel]

😂🤣😂🤣😂 Dude get over it Canelo Won I's Done

[@unclerobertboxing]

The guy in the white shirt is not fully extending his jab and not turning it over..youre not allowing him to do that as well..you are bringing the punch mitt so close to him to hit..not realistic his opponent is not going to be So easy to land that punch on

[@alekstamboff4321]

with such a wild swing, the jab will not pass!!!!!! 100%

[@masontroglen3413]

Yall sayin shit well if you wer on dam video showing this shit what would u do

[@dontomas4106]

Oscar De La Hoya taught him that.

[@treysemi1]

That guy throwing the jab is trigger happy

[@elcalifornio9356]

This is why Oscar knocked his ass out. De la hoya had the best jab ever, you should be asking him instead.

[@markp.8329]

Who'd Oscar knock out? I know Floyd beat Oscar. Are you saying one of the other Mayweather's fought Oscar earlier in his career?
