The Lost Art of Positioning (Inside Advantageous Positioning)

In part one we focused on outside to at tange advantageous positioning. For part 2 we focus on inside advantageous positioning.
Too many fighters in this era accept exchanging punches in equal positioning which means they are both set in their stance either bladed or squared. The silent agreement to keep that equal positioning is a tactical regression in boxing and often lends the more athletic fighter and/or the fighter with better top heavy defense the most success. This video explores getting to angles for advantageous positioning.

Great video, I spar a lot of south paws as orthodox and am pretty good at using my jab and stepping around to their weak side, but I get in trouble when they close the distance and get inside. I'll be more conscious of the inside positioning now. Also every time I meet and converse with a boxing enthusiast I tell them about your channel. Can't stress how valuable these videos are; they truly are gems.

[@BoxingGems]

🙏🏾 Much appreciated fam

[@GregBankin]

Most of everything I know about the science of boxing is because of you and this channel. Our head coach died earlier this year and I filled in and took over that role. Now I’m finally getting to implement everything I’ve picked up from watching your videos (among other experience). Shoot we just got back from our first nationals in Orlando and now finna head to Louisiana to qualify for junior Olympics in December. I ain’t never coached before but I got all these kids depending on me to teach them and break down the science. All that to say, you really don’t know the impact you making every time you share your knowledge with us! You really out here changing lives whether you realize it or not. Much love Gems

This is a Gem !!! Too bad people will just want to believe what they are told by their coaches. Thats why some kids come into the gym better than some in the gym because they study these kinds of channels. While most in the gym want to have an equal fight. I've been a fan of you for a while now, but it sucks to see this and no be able to say anything cause people get their feelings hurt.

Love this channel and video. I noticed that a lot of boxers that cut angles are southpaw. Is there any recommendation on orthodox fighters that are technical like this that we can study film on

[@DavidJ1988]

Just watch Loma, Usyk, and Bam when they fight southpaws.

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

@@DavidJ1988 wouldn’t that be southpaw vs southpaw then, so they wouldn’t be mirrored. I’m looking more for more orthodox fighters that are just as technical and dominant against southpaws.

Their is no difference. Their are open and closed stance examples in the video.

[@pizzulo8111]

In the sport of boxing, you're not allowed to hit in the back of the head. In a real fight there are no such rules, and you don't have to worry about only using your rear hand when shifting back. You can hook with your lead hand to the back of the head when shifting or pivoting. You save a beat by doing that.

[@patchmadetre9924]

Bam Bam is a true prodigy and a old school coaches dream I don’t know how people are thinking Sunny beats the dude, Bam is too advanced at getting clean looks and Sunny just simply isn’t strong enough… I don’t usually throw around the pillow fist moniker too much but….4 stoppages in 20 fights? Good luck Charlie.

[@BoxingGems]

Recently Bam has been much more of a come forward high guard pressure fighter who exchanges in 50/50’s. Don’t know why.

[@patchmadetre9924]

@@BoxingGems hopefully it was just him not taking his competition seriously enough. After what he did to Cuadras and Rat King, his two opponents have been big step downs I fully expect him to bring his full set against Sunny. And constantly shift towards his weak side. Not doing so gives Sunny an unnecessary chance.

[@Duel1982]

Bam is not disciplined. Look at him recently. He blows up in weight between fights. This has led to him going life and death in his last two bouts against fringe level opponents that he was supposed to dominate. Edwards in comparison looks slim and Svelte in their DAZN face off footage. Wouldn't surprise me if Bam misses weight for the fight. He looks chubby. And I'm not trying hate, just making an observation

I love you and your channel. But I think this explanation is flawed, your own footage doesn't support the conclusions you come to. I dont think the T position concept works here, but would love to find an avenue to discuss further and compare notes or see my misunderstanding. Much respect 🙏

[@BoxingGems]

Ok. It’s either patreon livestreams, KZbin livestreams or in the comment section here.

[@BoxingGems]

I checked out your channel Coach. What I’m teaching isn’t very different from the advantageous positioning you teach in your first video. Perhaps the reference of the “ T” is where we have the miscommunication. Cool channel by the way. I subbed.

[@bambaraboxing]

@@BoxingGems that's really kind, I'm a obsessed with systematized the sport like you. I've had all sorts of theories over the years that I eventually abandoned or improved upon. I love your channel, I love your mind. I use the T position concept a lot when talking about open match ups (orthodox v SP). I would love to podcast with you and just talk boxing.
