What do you think is the best style for amateur boxing

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

Wonderful breakdown. Not all Cuban boxers are outside fighters, some are more aggressive, but one thing for certain is there is always a dance or a flow to their movements.

[@skillrboxing]

100% Each fighter is unique, but there are commonalities

[@Charlessalbox]

Very precise... the more you delve into Cuban Boxing the more you realise that there is no "Cuban Style" but simply "Cuban Technique" and the style we see in most of the Cuban boxers who fight internationally is the "strategy" of moving the feet against other international boxers who have not excelled in footwork. Inside Cuba you will see "Pro style knockout artists" and "Point-scoring fleet footed boxers"

[@ObjectiveMedia]

Yes it’s more of a mentality than a defined technical style. Good observation!

[@skillrboxing]

Good point. Your vids also helped understand Cuban Footwork better😉

[@Charlessalbox]

@@skillrboxing😂😂😂 more to come - keep up the great content!

[@AlejandroLopez-ky5gv]

Long life to cuban boxing !!!! TBE

[@OLucimarNeto]

You are a great cuban boxing style teacher, man! Thanks from Brazil 🇧🇷👍🥊🥊

[@RajSingh-lr7lj]

Aesthetically the most beautiful style in boxing! Fun fact: Sugar Ray Robinson got his footwork from watching Eligio Sardinas, or also known as Kid Chocolate, who was Cuban. Interesting to see that style influence the perhaps greatest boxer ever!

[@JeSsE10mCcOy11]

That's why it looked like he was dancing

[@marcribault165]

That s why there is « sugar » in his name 😊

[@midofmidlife]

​@@marcribault165ahhhhh 🤯

[@MrTooEarnestOnline]

I love that addition of “Sugar” as the special ingredient. I think I’m going to experiment with shadow boxing and heavy bag work with music

[@yuriboyka9927]

I think there is something to it, sense of rhythm, fluid footwork, ability to move freely. Heard bunch of coaches claiming dancers make good boxers. And although not Cuban, Lomachenko's dad made him take dancing lessons before he allowed him to come back to boxing.

[@omicron5128]

​@@yuriboyka9927We can't also forget Uysk and Sugar Ray Robinson.

[@MrCarloArellano]

that mambo, it really does help

[@kevlar2536]

The Footwork is beautiful

[@absurd..]

Very impressive breakdown. Someone already wrote that there are brawlers in the Cuban style and I agree, but to me they fit best as out-fighters and lightweights, a beautiful style with a mesmerizing technique.

[@siddharthparashar9678]

Skiller, your boxing research is excellent. The amount of boxing knowledge you have imparted is phenomenal. Thank you, Sir.

[@geenadasilva9287]

The great Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez noted that dance was more deeply embedded in Cuban culture than any country he had visited. When I visited the country in 2001 I saw that first hand: their sense of movement is immediately noticeable. Even the plainest of Cubans can come to life when they move and you have explained that very well. I look forward to watching more Cuban fighters from now on.

[@michelena1375]

As a cuban subscriber I was waiting for this

[@nlsdrf1290]

Are you a true Cuban or are you a gusano

[@ObjectiveMedia]

Wow what a fantastic technical and historical analysis of Cuban boxing. Kudos my friend! 🫡

[@skillrboxing]

Thanks!!!

[@hmoneymob9885]

ANDY CRUZ DAVID MORRELL & OSLEYS IGLESIAS THE BEST... THE CUBAN STYLE THE BEST IN BOXING

[@tariqziyad8062]

Why has their NEVER been an ATG Cuban boxer than? Cuban boxing is made for AMATEUR

[@hmoneymob9885]

@@tariqziyad8062 YOU ARE STUPID WE HAVE GREAT CHAMPIONS FROM CUBA LIKE KID GAVILAN KID CHOCOLATE JOSE NAPOLES AND MORE

[@nomiS.933]

Only Cuban pros I know are Guillermo Rigondeaux, Luis Ortiz, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Erislandy Lara.

[@flashback4588]

​@@tariqziyad8062 cuban boxers are usually avoided, so they are never given the opportunity. For example, Erislandy Lara was avoided by both Charlos, Andrade, Mayweather and even GGG Regardless of who people think won, Canelo deserves lots of respect for fighting Lara when everyone else chose to avoid him.

[@kickerse13]

@@tariqziyad8062 Yep. Cuban style incorporates a good amount of foot movement but when the legs go they get stopped or look ultra vulnerable. The style isn't suited for any sort of inside fighting at all but they are nice on an amateur level though.

[@ezra5808]

I love the combination of dancing, fun and boxingtechnique.

[@kurtchristain-playzyt3283]

Cuban Style 🇨🇺 Is Like Chllling Dancing ❤

[@AngelDiaz-xp5ie]

Great video. I'll give you the secret ingredient. Discipline respect put into work. Thank you for this video

[@noguile2737]

This was awesome! Can we do a international study of the other types of boxing styles, the Mexican style, U.K punching of the jab, U.S "hit and don't get hit" sweet science , eastern European, etc... this would be awesome international coverage and breakdown

[@IRONTIMUR.]

Amazing video! Please create next video about other styles of boxing! Many thanks from Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿

[@skillrboxing]

will do!

[@KKK-u2y]

Just one word: ELEGANT ❤❤ Greets from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰

[@TheChiliLime]

Beautiful breakdown on cuban boxing! These athletes are such a joy to watch. You mentioned boxers using amateur techniques at professional level, could you make a video explaining what is the difference between the two - amateurs and pro arena?

[@UpcomingBoxing]

Excellent breakdown!

[@rubenregueira2878]

Beautiful description of Cuban boxing!!

[@Overlord_DH]

I don't know if I'm dreaming... But if I am, I don't really want to wake up. Thank you for posting this ❤

[@skillrboxing]

Thanks for the comment💪

[@betoj3161]

AMAZING!,next please mexican style,and why they are so good with combinations.❤❤

[@lncarpenter3]

Because they sit in the pocket, keep their hands moving and catch, party, and deflect punches with their face.

[@skillrboxing]

Its on our list!

[@akira_696]

thanks for this incredible video im a french boxer and with you i learning some techniques of boxing and i leveled up so thanks a lot

[@skillrboxing]

Thank you!

[@sassycharbonneau7362]

Them punches on beat at the end❤

[@al.per.606]

The knockout at 6:24 is absolutely brutal to watch. Massive brain damage.

[@skillrboxing]

Its a scary one, but a beautiful lead hook too

[@kobiecamp1134]

That's the type of damage that could effect him later in life.

[@nestorarteaga784]

Who is the boxer?

[@AbuOmar]

I want to see Cuba before i die.

[@MatthewSedgley]

I always wished I could be more agile and graceful like a Cuban boxer, currently I pendulum step around the ring which doesn't seem lightyears away from salsa dancing with gloves and a mouthpiece in after watching this video. Going to watch this video till I can memorise the words and memorize how to dance

[@freezln]

amazing analysis skillr!! loving the content ❗️

[@skillrboxing]

Thanks!!!

[@ualku5965]

Great breakdown! Whats the song?

[@lorenzobetancourt5559]

The Cuban style comes from Kid Chocolate and his academy, then Kid Gavilan and others, Ray Robinson, got the stile from Chocolate and Ali from Kid Gavilan who worked with him, the Cuban style is in those two great figures of US boxing.

[@GeorgeCopperfield]

Soviets brought their boxing style to Cuba & it did wonders for them

[@farooqkeita700]

Clearly didn't watch the video

[@unev]

Great video, thank you!

[@Brandnewshoes]

This was a great video 🎉

[@Swooshify]

you gotta do soviet broooo

[@skillrboxing]

💯

[@Thunderfistboxing]

Mario Kindelan,Angel Espinosa are two more Cuban legends..I love the Cuban style!

[@sanctusdeuscruor6219]

Jose Napoles, Gavilan and Adolfo Horta are the best Cuban fighters ever imo

[@fanca5926]

He actually uses the word "táctica" which is closer to "tactics" more than "strategy," but I understand the change.

[@daniel-sf4uh]

Please make the breakdow of styles like sovietc,american,europen or like out boxer,swamer,sligger and boxe puncher please you videos are my favorite of boxe

[@SUrMigoo]

can we get a Uzbekistan breakdown now? their they’re fighters are going up

[@skillrboxing]

They have been growing crazy in the amateurs💯

[@youcanthandlethetruth5433]

Heres the secret. They fight STRONG HAND IN THE FRONT. So a lot of right handed southpaws. Give it a shot, very natural footwork with that style. But weaker rear cross

[@Fighting-Spirit7]

Damn Teofilo vs Ali would be great fight.

[@johndo3760]

Love their music n culture

People don't know Mario Kindelan, but he's the best Cuban boxer.

[@holdthephoneboxing]

Now breakdown the others please?

[@jabrielwhite17]

"Sugar" the same sugar that Ray Robinson had? Its the rhythm right. So american fighters have it too. The OG sugar was ray robinson an american.

[@HUSTLER-AT-HEART]

Nice

[@faizmirza176]

do the soviet breakdown

[@johnhatchel9681]

Cuban style is getting your head pounded in then giving your entire neighborhood an equal share of your purse.

[@splicecentral9079]

It's soviet style with more dimensions.

[@Vnp99]

Who was the guy against canelo?

[@irifyan4643]

Erislandy Lara

[@AK-zc4ov]

From what i see they don't do something out of the ordinary they master the fundamentals all the punches u see it's all fundamentals n basics n they hiding it by dancing n moving in different rhythm so they can be unpredictable n frustrating there opponent n keep em guessing

[@AlejandroLopez-ky5gv]

Cómo se llama el boxeador que salen en el 7.47 min por favor

[@The_World_Champion.]

How do you Counter the Cuban Boxing style?

[@uncletheoneshotkid3001]

Pressure, just like with any counter punching style

[@leonardomoncada748]

Jaja, asere ahi habla de nuestra escuela de boxeo

[@saquondon]

Rule #1: big shorts

[@johndo3760]

Tbh they like when Lara does it but not Shakur for some reason 🤷🏾‍♂️ I don’t prefer neither but I’m fair 😂

[@bobjacksom9776]

No they don't like when any black person fights like that only people like fury

[@uncletheoneshotkid3001]

⁠@@bobjacksom9776huh? Lara is literally black😂 so are 99% of Cuban boxers.

[@CaseyCook-xs2ob]

Kid chocolate too

[@Papiringo505]

Lomachenko is Cuban

[@KukharyshynOleh]

Apparently)

[@okramoffacebook1381]

A bit Soviet style, and more music

[@RideTheGamer]

Wassup

[@CaseyCook-xs2ob]

Kid gavilan jose napoles luis Rodriguez jose legra all African Cubans

[@chrisskywalker6079]

They're very good in amateur but not in pro boxing, so strange. I think they're so attached with amateur boxing as before Fidel died pro sport is forbidden in Cuba. I their mindset should be change.

[@uncletheoneshotkid3001]

It’s not that they’re not good in pros there’s just barely any of them in the pros and they have to leave Cuba to go pro

[@franciscojaviermurillopere2652]

Mexican style plisss

[@vennylee5368]

How majority of them southpaw’s?

[@jasonbryansotto580]

Filipino Boxing style and Mexican Boxing Style next :)

[@obvious7964]

Good but has difference, cuban its for Olympics, professional its other thing, and why? Because you dont have many cuban professional fighters, numbers said that, cuban its a goos school with all respect, but has many differences between them, included the points scores

[@johnredlacatan5940]

I noticed that most of Cuban boxers are Southpaw like Japanese boxers. Great analysis btw. 💯

[@MatthewAbrahamian-zr7iu]

I think they are fighting the dominant hand in front

[@skillrboxing]

@@MatthewAbrahamian-zr7iu There is no clear reason, but I suspect the same

[@Acord718]

Puerto Rican boxing style

[@CaseyCook-xs2ob]

Most of the great cubans are still of African descent

[@mek2603]

We need a Roberto Duran analysis

[@josemucarselsacoto5122]

Sugar? Rather poverty. Their hunger makes them great. When you live in a country that strives on controlling everything and everyone, art and sports are your only chance at freedom. Cuban athletes, soviet athletes, african athletes, they have that one trait in common: hunger. Keep up the great work champ!

[@gerardrbain1972]

I guess we are supposed to listened to you over Cuban boxing coaches?

[@johndo3760]

The whole of Africa tho ? Cmon bro 😂 at least throw out a country

[@ElijahCrawford-sz4vw]

American style? More like African American style 💯

[@CaseyCook-xs2ob]

Notice most of the talented Cubans are still black

[@georgeandronchik1635]

Man, you just understand nothing in boxing schools :) Cuban school is based on soviet style and soviet school is not based on strength and stamina as you said but opposite.

[@farooqkeita700]

You clearly didn't see anything the cuban coaches or experts said

[@Nick-uk2bj]
