[@jplcash]

@Humble & Deadly i like how you backed up your statement with a good arguement but i dont think conor deserves to be up there even though they have a similar style for their respective arts conor has no class or respect doesnt have an ounce of humility some of the things that were huge in ali yeah he talked shit but he was humble he wasnt speaking out his ass he wasnt being a piece of shit outside of the ring there's so many things that make it wrong to put conor up there with a legend like ali but at the same time i cant say much bad about his fighting ability so you make a very good arguement but imo would just be impossible for me to have conor on the same picture as ali

[@joseph4500]

@@jplcashi don't agree with conor has no class or respect. He was always respectful towards his opponents after the fight regardless of the results. You see his press conference after the Aldo win and after loss to nate diaz proves it. But by the time of Eddie alvarez fight guy went on a dark path and lost his way.. But he's a changed man now.

The Cus D'Amato taught peekaboo style wasn't about taking impact from punches on your gloves it was about weaving and slipping punches in a defensive scream (almost moving in a pendulum like motion) in a way that would position you for a counter punch or a combination of counter punches. The guard Cus taught Patterson and Tyson was also lower than you demonstrated, Tyson placed his gloves on his cheekbones so vision wouldn't have been impaired. Probably the most difficult style to master out of every one including Philly shell.

[@thinkb4uspeak643]

True but I think alot of it had to do with Tysons build ,speed n power that stlye perfectly fit him ..I think cus would've trained everyone slightly differently depending on the person's strengths and weaknesses..no doubt one the very best trainers to do it..

[@joemama6544]

@@thinkb4uspeak643 yeah, you can see how Floyd Patterson doesn't keep to a tight guard like mike tyson for long periods of time, as mike tyson was looking for knockout/damaging punches whether Patterson was looking to take advantage of the speed he had. If you watch his fight against Muhammad Ali, (in my opinion) you can really tell that the style didn't suit Patterson

[@whachyagonnado]

totally agree .. in peak a boo ure nonstop shiftin and slippin ... stick and move .. never rest on 12 o clock .. even when he cought u ure in movement ... also creates alot o angles .. tyson had adapted it much better then patterson imo

I use the peek a boo style and it's perfect for me since I'm a short and heavy build person, So I use angles and cut off the ring. That's a super pro for the peek a boo. Since it's super defensive the counter hits are very cold blooded

Spot on Chris. It's a hard style and dam you need to be super fit to use it right. I'm also a short fighter and wished I was taught it in my younger days. But sadly there is not many out there who can teach this style correctly in most areas and also you need different exercises for your muscles in this style as you really don't stop moving lol.

[@mikemierspadios7036]

Peek a boo is undeniably one of the best style in boxing packs alot of power and defended like a turtle in its shell. However the technique takes years to master and it's not a joke it's all about positioning if you can't close the distance then you'll just eat a long range punches . Not recommended for newbies you need to master it 100% ,it's not going to be easy but trust me once you you're one of the most deadliest boxers.

I use all of them, depending on the situation, I'm a tall, strong and heavy mixed with my agility, fast punches and high mind respons. I use the peek a boo technique when versus heavy and slow attacks, the classic one when versus fast opponents, the "Phily" one when I'm waiting for the movement of the enemy to use my main attack: the counter attack.

[@xxcoolkid69xx67]

The reason why the peekaboo style worked so well for Tyson (at least when he used it) was his speed. He was quick, and when he trained before the fights it was ridiculously hard to hit him and stop him from coming in. If you use peekaboo and don't find a way to close the gap you are basically standing there waiting to get your ass kicked.

[@cocojit]

🤣🤣

[@Jet307]

Interesting

[@mrwilliams9954]

Great video 👍 One thing about the Peekaboo Style, Cus would encourage MASSIVE head movement while moving forward. It allowed you to avoid covering up too often and made better space to give punches and return position.

[@dsecond96]

Great video! Another Con of the Traditional Boxing Stance, is you constantly have both hands up, which leads to having tired arms. But everything else you mentioned is spot on! The Con of the Philly shell shoulder roll, throughout time , your shoulder can get impingement. Great tips 🥊

i love learning new techniques and styles and most importantly the weaknesses of each. During my MMA training the majority of people there do mostly boxing punching and some that are more experienced than me use a difficult style which i haven't been able to find a way to beat and so I've been experimenting with different movements, fighting styles, and techniques to try to bait him out and i finally managed to do so today and change it so that instead of him having the control over the fight the whole time, i finally have it which felt incredible because i was able to slip, duck, and dodge out of the way of all his strikes and get some good clean counters in as well and because im still new it feels soooo incredible to be good at sparring and btw he doesn't go easy on me either, he is a good mate of mine but ever since i started training with him if I messed up and he got an opportunity then he would knock me on my ass without a second thought which since i come from a taekwondo background where most people have never actually been punched i was the same and so he has taught me not to be scared of getting hit and to loosen up and now id like to think im getting to his level just after a year!

[@The.panthera.]

All styles are for experts lol

[@Boxingfitnessacademy]

🥊

[@born_supreme]

@@The.panthera., No, not exactly, some stances are are ideal for novices. The Philly Shell is a style you should NOT implement in a fight until you’ve trained that style for a long time. Reason being is, the Philly Shell requires too many components for it to be successful, ie Good reflexes, great boxing IQ, great vision, and a lot of speed. If you lack just one of those components, the Philly Shell is easily compromised, whereas, other styles give more error room for a fighter who’s not well honed. The Philly Shell is the best boxing stance if you master it, hence the reason all of the greatest defensive fighters were practicioners of the style.

[@born_supreme]

@@landon7453 Yes it would lol. The Philly Shell relies less on the gloves than the other styles mentioned except the hand down stance. The Philly Shell’s strength is the tight narrow target it presents. If you’re good at it, you’ll be nearly impossible hit clean, glove or no gloves.

[@born_supreme]

@@landon7453 Bounce off of the shoulder? Do you box, my friend? A blow is a blow. If you slip a punch, you slip a punch, it doesn’t matter if you have on gloves or not. The difference in power from a gloved punch and a bare knuckle punch, is extremely minimal. Gloves are only there to protect your hands, NOT to reduce power.

Spar with an open gaurd (hands low) with an experienced, trustworthy partner. Get used to simply moving, bobbing and weaving out of his way, plus throw the odd light counter. Neither of you are attempting to hurt each other. Active footwork and head movement is what your working towards. Once the movement is natural, stiffness will cease.

[@stevenscott2136]

There's no way to guess how good Ali might have been if MMA had existed back then, or how good a pure boxer MacGregor might have been. We end up with "imaginary hypothetical Ali" and "imaginary hypothetical MacGregor", which is so made-up that we might as well argue whether Thanos could beat Mr. Spock at Texas Hold-Em.

This man is deadly. He is both teaching you the greatest fighting styles and also teaching you their greatest weakness😂

[@jacksonsangea7139]

You have elaborated the guards and stances in avery simple way which is well grasped. Thanks for your training.

[@oscaryoung2997]

Another pro for the first stance and guard is that with your hands lower you have a lower centre of gravity, making it easier to move your head and avoid punches

Wow I just learned where the phrase "on the ropes" comes from lol...

[@user-dn6qp8gu6c]

The Philly Shell was an offensive style when Hitman Hearns was using it. 😂

[@joelcastro-reyes1667]

Wasn't really a philly shell. He kept his lead arm low and swinging to vary his timing. That's why he could flick his jab out in whatever direction he wanted.

I use the traditional stance but when my opponent is about to start a combination then I would start using philly shell

[@whitedarkness811]

Thats great. I always use traditional stance 1-2 rounds and when I see his mistakes I put my hands down to confuse my opponent and try to counter him, if I still don't see mistake, Im changing to peekaboo and im trying to create some oppenings, hooks to body or some over guard hooks... Actualy it depends what my opponent is using Idk why I tell all this to you

[@hfmarwen1183]

I use traditional stance In medium range Philly shill and and high guard when I'm inside fight

[@hidalgorobinkeno7171]

That’s not how you do peekaboo. Hands need to come down a little so you guard the chin and ribs. you need more movement

Can a professional boxer train in two boxing clubs at the same time to increase experience and techniques?

Peek-A-Boo ‼️ 1. you didn't talk about foot position or constant side to side movement. 2. Gloves are under the eyes stuck to your cheeks not your forehead.

[@bantakkor8039]

Kind of depends where you're coming from, as there are varying cultural preferences even in boxing. In south africa they seem to prefer a higher guard where the gloves indeed do touch the forehead.

[@DrzPr3ttyBoy]

@@bantakkor8039 yea I understand your point that it depends what area of the world the peek-a-boo is trained it may vary ..but I'm referring to the original.. what cus d'amato created.

[@adamzoubi96]

philly shell is great until you face a southpaw, then it all goes to shit! as a southpaw i started with the philly shell because it protected me from the liver shot but i found out real quick that it's hard to block the right hand with that style, then i started using more of a traditional guard (like lomachinko) but i always find my hands going down and shoulders getting fatigued. i don't think there's any perfect guard for a southpaw fighter. you just have to have really good reflexes at all times.

[@nigem7972]

Watch zab Judah and rigondeaux perfect example of using a philly she’ll in the southpaw stance. Otherwise if you have quick footwork hector camacho had a beautiful high guard

[@m.a.g.y.1796]

This suddenly got recommended to me because I watched too many videos of an anime Muay Thai fighter using the Hitman/Philly Shell stance in his fights. And I don't regret watching this either because I'm also a starting practitioner of martial arts!
