[@payamism]

Soviet-style, if done right, is extremely hard to counter. But it would be best if you had insane stamina and strong footwork. On one hand, you have to be a professional dancer below the belt and a pro puncher above the waistline.

[@Vladimyrful]

So, Lomachenko 😂

[@garry_love]

very precisely formulated

[@payamism]

@@Vladimyrful exactly, Loma, Usyk,...

[@jayjayspoon8824]

makes you wonder why the best ballet dancers come from Russia .. its there strong footwork

[@chrismayclin6397]

I love training the style myself, but you’re right: it’s very taxing on the cardio, especially at my age.

[@k.k8291]

Love the fluidity of this style. Apart from being effective, it's also very aesthetically pleasing.

[@fikriasrofi5312]

As a muay Thai guy this is my favorite style to emulate into Muay Thai it give me mobilitty and fluidity without compromising my head position

[@Malku_Soldier]

Same here

[@flippomane]

Me personally, i'd describe the soviet style as the attempt for maximum defensive and offensive efficiency, but without considering much of the stamina spent on defense and the footwork. It is all about being smooth, using momentum and flow to its maximum capicity for generating the most amount of power possible without much effort, to make up for the tremendous amount of stamina used in the defense and footwork, as said earlier. I'd say it is also the perfect mix of offense and defense in any boxing style, which is why many consider it to be the best style in boxing, although there isn't really such thing as that.

Efficiency always fucks showiness. © Ataka Rad Avtomoto Peace, homie!

[@markanthony4546]

I love the Soviet and Cuban style so very much While unconventional to the western eye they’re so fundamentally sound.

[@ExcitedChemistryExperime-wz2ef]

Lol mf put a sock in it theres a whole gang of us "westerns" that injoy and study different boxing styles and martial arts

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Cubans firmly western hemispheric. More so than those white guys from europe!

[@kelionpro9612]

Been waiting on this one 😁🥊

[@skillrboxing]

Here it is!!

[@Bom-pff]

If you switch your hooks from palm in to down or vice versa, remember to increase the power in your shots gradually. The two variants will have very different impact on the shoulder.

[@misspelling555]

Love this series! Thank you for the high quality content! ❤

[@Hunterrobinson-u4f]

Finally. Thank you for doing this breakdown video of the Soviet Style. Do another break down video with the Qazaq boxing style from Janibek Alimkhanuly. 🥊🇰🇿

[@jandro8370]

Good video. I grew up learning to box in Miami and the style taught is the American style which to me is a mix of Cuban and Soviet styles. More shoulder blocks and head movement is used along with more lateral footwork along with more counterpunching. I like how in Cuban school ur stance is chosen based upon the hand you write with which would be the lead hand. Why theres a lot of Cuban SPs.

[@bilalfahmiarif6085]

I have never clicked a video this fast. As always you are on point. Keep up the good work ma G!

[@callumgrant266]

I’ve recently started training at an amateur boxing club, I think I have found my style this video will help me lots thank you 🙏

[@brmawe]

Ayyy! Let's go. Been waiting for this one.

[@aryiascolbert8487]

Best boxing style for long reach. Change my mind

[@kingmaestro1766]

Loma has short reach, Usyk has short reach. The style works for anyone that applies it correctly

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Soviet Union would encourage guys with long arms broad shoulders and thick necks to become boxers. Bivol is a small LHW with an unremarkable physique who outboxes them all anyways

[@omicron5128]

Tommy Hearns: Hold my belts.

[@tylerlynch2849]

thanks for this, it's excellent

[@GabrielBretone]

This power comes from the mastery of the Kinetic Chain. WOW! Keypoint to improve the sweet art. 3:48

[@adamjones1982]

Alexey Frolov's Russian boxing yotuube channel is most interesting on youtube IMO.

[@yassintriggerdellarobia]

Golovkin and Beterbiev do not apply usually Soviet boxing. They're more flat footed and power punchers. Despite they're from a former Soviet countries.

[@yilativs]

I'd add two coins: pros: it is better for bare fists fights because the defense is done by movement, not absorbing punches covering with big gloves. cons: if you move a lot and that means you spend more energy. it's fine for Olympic boxing, but for 12 rounds it's difficult if you are a heavy weight (and not recommended even in Russia, my trainer constantly reminded me when I grew up to 107kg that i'm no longer a rabbit). You will have hard times dealing on close range distance because you don't train it much, though you can do what Vitalii Klitchko did, i.e. clinch as soon as someone crosses your comfortable zone. So this style ain't good for short boxers, but if you are a tall guy with good stamina, then welcome on board Tovarish ;-) PS In a street fight (hope you'll never need it, but still) pros: you avoid unnecessary damage and don't relay on your big gloves to cover. cons: you can slip on uneven floor, or if it's space is small you simply don't have enough space to move.

[@samyichiro4567]

Soviet style, sergei raab and alexi frolov in one skillr video, can't add more greatness.

[@jermainehoward1567]

Amazing analysis as always

[@genesemakouangou291]

I hope one day mastering both the Cuban and Soviet style and will name the mix of the the two the Fidel Stalin style.

[@stormskjdt7962]

Appreciate the vid nice breakdown👏

[@sq.8071]

Great video as always. Definitely should highlight their superb footwork and conditioning too. I’m also a big fan of their “Christmas tree” concept.

[@shiroyuyona]

SOVIET STYLE LETS GOOOOOOOOO thanks team skillr 🥹🔥🔥🔥

[@JuanAvilaDavila]

Great breakdown! Would love to see a Japanese fighters video: Nakatani, Teraji, Tanaka,Ioka . They are dominating the lower weight divisions

[@babyduksmvs]

Love this channel🤍

[@postitwarrior69]

Cold blood, damn best attribute

[@Llowdar]

Actually in Europe everything that there's in this video is well known and used in the amateur boxing since the sixties... or at least in Italy.

[@Tapkyr101]

who said pendulum is back-forth movement has right but if you explain it like this to beginner you can easly mislead him. For a beginner you can explain it better when you say it is more like combination of two movements - jumping in place( because pendulum is NOT jumping from foot to foot rather in the middle of center gravity) and using your body inertia to move and create angles

[@mshahxaib3725]

I always learn new Things Of boxing From you

[@jacobharris954]

Love to see American and English to see how we compare to rest of major schools of boxing

[@CaseyW491]

That relaxed-muscle style of holding your guard and throwing punches is interesting. Looks goofy, makes sense. Gotta love Мать Россия. Scary to imagine encountering. But yeah, cold blood. That one was on my mind the whole video.

[@mukhtiyarbaloch-f2n]

"I've been sprinting for two months now, but my shoulder speed hasn't improved much. Any tips on how to increase it?"

Please make a video on lomachenko style

[@DeepakRawat-b7n]

In full details

[@adriannavares]

YURI ARBACHAKOV mentioned💥🥊😮 please do an in-depth, individual study on him guys, he's a legend, the first Soviet Champion (paved the way for champions like GGG, Pirog, and Bivol). edit: if you don't know him please check his fights, the guy was a beast, in his prime, he was the GGG of flyweight division.

[@OleOoo-v2i]

My boksing gym also teaches some soviet style boksing

[@PrinceMezurashi]

Should do a video on the drunken style/Emanuel Augustus

[@IforgorSkullemoji]

Needed this after Bivol won

[@Sajikoi]

Can you do a break down of Curmel Moton's style?

[@MimeXDLol]

[@RichardFlores2K]

Please make other boxing styles like USA, UK, Japan, Philippines and Puerto Rico.

[@virginiereuter2822]

Here is an idea, make a second channel covering amature boxing or make it only accessible to your pateron subscribers

[@tinybreakthrough7569]

Can you make video comparing different styles of boxing like Cuban, Mexican, Filipino, American, Soviet, and others.. Thank you

[@mammontustado9680]

Lead hooks with thumb facing in for long range, and thumb up for short range and power. I'm no expert though, just my personal experience

A second video about soviet boxing

[@WillyFinklestein]

Who is the fighter at 6:54? The one with Razor on his trunks.

[@bilalfahmiarif6085]

Hey @Skillr Boxing. Who do you think who win a world where is got of fight between Mike Tyson in this prime vs prime soviet heavy weight boxer (can be anyone who uses this style). Im curious cus Tyson is short and when he go, he go in create angle then BOOM! similar to soviet style but of course the technique & style is different and the tactic is kinda similar.

[@_alc.v]

6:07 which boxer is this? I need to study this guy

[@awalpagi3]

Yuri arbachakov

[@Dntwatchmeinit]

i know everyone calls it soviet style, but all of these principles are taught at good amateur boxing clubs. brits, cubans & soviets all have similar qualities at amateur level

[@Schadenfreude2]

Junto nakatani video plz

[@daneousreuben8469]

yes

[@DmitB-g6q]

Who is the boxer at 6:19 ?

[@jameselliott9866]

That's Yuri Arbachakov.

[@_alc.v]

​@@jameselliott9866 thanks.

[@DanielMartinez316]

Very interesting, now I want to know names of soviet boxers, please.

[@Tysm34]

Bivol, Usyk, Lomachenko, Madrimov,… Still in Soviet school but they have their own style mixing: Beterbiev, GGG, Murtazaliev

[@eusheenkim9313]

How does a shorter fighter with a shorter reach use the the Soviet Style? Specifically the in and out pendulum motion

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Fast feet. Bivol is a small LHW with an unremarkable physique who Soviet styles to outbox them all

[@eusheenkim9313]

@LeadLeftLeon true but I feel like he still has a longer reach than most of his opponents so that's why his style works. My question is what do I do when my reach is shorter

[@totsukasaika2642]

​@@eusheenkim9313 his reach is actually shorter

[@HulkMeeche]

Can you give me a few names of these fighters I box and this matches my fighting style would love to study more tap/film on these guys 🫡🤝🏾💯😎🙏🏾

[@larrybad9821]

If well learnt, there is no better style

[@GoSkaTeproductions]

As a fighter with a shorter reach and height of 5'7. Can the Soviet style work for me?

[@totsukasaika2642]

at lower weight class it'd work

[@GoSkaTeproductions]

@totsukasaika2642 Fosho, thank you.

[@tarangga4475]

[@coldbloodmma]

What about ilia topuria? Is that Mexican style??

[@anatoliypankevych4853]

“…and russian boxing”, - says the narrator showing a Kyrgyz fighter 🤦🏻‍♂️ but that’s basically what was happening all the way in every aspect of the history of “that country”.

[@jimfy3357]

No Loma in this discussion!?

[@superdeluxesmell]

If he dies, he dies.

[@grzegorzbigdon4931]

Do you seen ever someone significanty shorter than opponent who exploit soviet style?

[@modernholyblues]

in soviet russia, hook throws you!!

[@SomeFreeTimeActivities]

Then you have Artur Beterbiev

[@СтепанБатькович-з3в]

Бивол еще да , но не как не пирог )

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Artur had his gift decision, but Bivol is the heir to the Soviet style. Best Soviet Step. And b4 any nerd gets smart we’re talking about pro boxing here

[@SHKARLUPA]

Usyk has a Ukrainian style of boxing. It can also be called Eastern European style. Soviet style is something that no longer exists.

[@Stoik09]

Это тебя нет. Стиль боксеров постсоветских стран большей частью советский.
