Please can you make a video on how to perfect defensive skills?

[@adityamenon6930]

Would you like to do some tutorial videos on the Roy Jones hands down boxing style focused more on attacking with the rear hand ? The video was amazing and helpful as always.

[@joepoppa526]

Great video. I knew and teach a bunch of these, but there were some new ones and some fine tuning in this video. Thank you.

[@FoutsBoxingTheory]

I have a question Tony. Since you're such expert at Beating The Jab. Why will the 1-2 hit you if you slip the jab to hook at the head but not the body?

[@TestoBirne]

No question just a thank you for this high quality content I really improved a lot in sparring since I found this chanal

[@lukevalyo6853]

Had my first spar today. Was blocking the jab with my face easily. This video is going to help thank you bruv

I've learnt so much from your clips Tony, but this is one is really the crem de la crem. Completely jam packed with easily understandable advice Also interesting to learn what is the equivalent of the 'nutmeg' in boxing

[@maxgorman-batt8264]

[@christianmurphy7554]

Combine the first two. Parry with the left and continue with the jab. Like he said its not a power punch, but goes from a cocky shot to an effective counter when fighting a southpaw.

[@alejandrobaezaa]

HELL YEAH MATE!!, this video like all of your videos is absolute gold, keep the videos coming champ because they have a lot of experience, technique and they're fire and on point like always Tony 🙌🔥🥊

[@christopherellison7887]

I will try these! I had my first sparring session last week and took your advice on just practicing basics. Thank you brother

[@jorgeperez7662]

Tony, once more I'm impressed about the perfect technique explanation you give about the Counter punch; tremendous variety. My preferred is the side step on the right and counter with right hand, generally followed by left hook.

[@dobberdop]

@Tony after seeing your videos, im boxing again, after 30 years seeing your videos. It is fun in the gym to do combinations at the heavy bag

[@bluewater3783]

This is a Superb Video, Tony! Of course, you are knowledgeable, and of course you're still sharp and in shape--but what REALLY impresses me the most is how Very Well Organized you are. Every single second of your videos is accounted for and useful and important. As always, thank you, and keep up the good work!

[@NYKgjl10]

Another excellent video with solid foundation for each techniques in details. Love #7 Lean back-Cross as you move back, your cross is reloaded with energy coming from the back leg and hip turn.

[@brunojiful]

Tony i watch your video since 4 months and u motivated me to start boxing in a club with my 48 years...thanks for your work!! Fat double like!!

Best boxing coach. I've learned so much from you. Thanks Tony! :)

[@matthewmessmer6940]

This is a great video! Exactly what I was looking for and can't wait to practice.

[@explosivooo]

I like how when dealing with any of the counters to the head, y'all are almost demonstrating coach Miltons hand-in-front-of-the-face defense. Like each time your partner jabs and you show the counter to the head by hitting his glove, he can simply have his hand in front of his face to automatically deal with the counter jab or cross. Moved to either side of the head for any hooks. Great to see how to do the counters and how to defend against the counters in the same video!

[@MostlyPeacefulNinja]

Great video. I definitely picked up some things I can try

[@SoulKingComic]

I love your Videos!!! Your Amazing I've done the Line back cross and it really helped me in the past.

[@richierich4941]

I’m fairly new to sparring and this has given me a lot to practice as I find it’s predominantly jabs I have to contend with at my level, Thanks.

[@jonaddict]

Great video. Thank you very much. I lean heavy to the slip counter body hook and need more ways to mix it up so people don't know which way I'm moving.

[@arbogast4950]

Your channel is gold man, not just for boxers but martial artists in general.

[@lesliefisher2024]

Thanks for sharing your boxing knowledge, my favorite jab counter is the parry of which you started off with and slip with a double body hook followed by a double head hook or offhand elbow for I train in self-defense.Much appreciate the various possible counterattacks displayed and offered in the video they will surely help me in the coming months with my progression.GOD bless you and your team, friends, and family. Paz y bendiciones 4 vida! 🤘out.

Loved the slow motion, please do it more often

[@jessiestalder8982]

The last one was my favorite when you teach a debate that made a throwing their job and then move to the right that's what effectively moved to the right and keep you awake on your front foot so you can throw a strong punch

Tony yesterday i had my first sparring. I managed to hit my trainer once, he laughed hard because i switched my stance and he didnt expect it. I had a begginer opponent who was always bowing his head downwards when i jab him it was so good. Now im working on body defense and counter punch from your video ! You really have great videos thank you for the free lessions

[@santiagoramos7412]

Nice guide for improving, Thanks

[@ralphenrile2793]

Another extra defense I've seen to counter the jab is the gladiator shield counter. Basically raising the forearm to push the jab over the head so you can land the counter. Bernard Hopkins did it in his special tutorial called Bernard Hopkins: Perfect Execution.

[@intellectualgreat8693]

Loved this video. You should do a video on how to counter the right cross and left hook.

Tony my guy these are some elite tactics I love it but can you make a separate video showing us the best combos we can use while throwing these counters

[@mujahidraja8849]

Thank you sir, I got revise & Learn.

[@ctrlcmdcreate6504]

The best video covering the sweet science, period! Tony Jeffries is the Coach to beat with this video right here. I bow down to you man!!! with that said my favorite is hard parry opponents straight punch with the jab hand and follow it with everything I got from the backhand. So if i'm at a disadvantage its parry or throw my jab followed by upercut to the body or head ala "KJ Noonz vs. Nick Diaz" if you're quick and hit hard as long as you're not fighting a tyson or a mayweather KJ Noonz strat is very very hard to beat and the easiest to deploy in stand up scenarios.

One thing to note coach. great jab defense will often see less jabs and most often times you will find out very soon your opponents skill level. this is the video i'd reccommend any one getting into fighting sports and boxing, coaches getting started, and flashy unorthdox fighters would benefit from this knowledge. This is it coach, thanks for covering the sweet science 14 minutes!!!!
