Pros have such precise timing with their jab. How do they do it? Well, it’s more than just having that stiff sharp power and great accuracy. Obviously, there is one condition: it has to land! It can stop his right hand, it can stop his hook. The pros have a jab that can interrupt the opponent NO MATTER WHAT.

I call the pro boxer’s jab a “game-stopping jab” because it can counter ANY punch. Most annoying of all is that he’s right in front you…I mean LITERALLY…RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. He’s over, under, to the side, too far back, too close, or always somehow tilted or turned away so that your punches have no effect.

When you’re the one punching them, the pro always finds an angle to escape. You feel like his punches can squeeze through the tiniest of holes and hit your chest, your chin, your solar plexus, kidney, anywhere. He always finds angles to hurt you even when you think you’re totally covered. You start to feel like a child hiding behind the door when you helplessly put up a peek-a-boo defense to keep out the pro. The uppercuts seem to come from all over as well…to your head, to your body, even battering you through your gloves. The left hook can hit your body even when you think your elbow is blocking it. The left hook can come high, low, at your chin, at your forehead, at the side of your head, at your body. A right hand can come high, low, around, under, or straight through. A jab can slice up the middle (passing the inside of your forearm) or around the side (passing the outside of your forearm). When they’re punching you, you feel like the punches can come from all over. Just like I said, the pros have endless angles. Last but not least their superior balance allows them to throw punches with so much more power. Their great balance allows them to move faster and move to more angles. They stand wherever they want and they move only when they want to move. They don’t fall all over the place or fall off balance like amateurs. It doesn’t matter if they’re in-shape and ripped or out-of-shape and fat, you always feel like you’re pushing a guy that made of brick on the inside.īeing heavy allows the pros to stand their ground very comfortably. They’ve also got an incredibly powerful core. It’s not about being low to the ground, it’s about not lifting your legs (and disturbing your center of gravity) so much. And they hardly take their feet off the ground. They don’t move around or fidget around so much like the amateurs. HOW do the pros stay so heavy? One thing I’ve noticed: they’re very relaxed that their weight can “sit” comfortably on the ground. You can feel their weight when they punch, when they push you around on the inside, and even when you throw a punch into their guard. Pros have great balance and stay very grounded. You could put 140lb pro in with an amateur 160lb middleweight and the pro will EASILY push the amateur around. You can feel his “weight” even when you’re only punching into his guard. You know right away when you’re in with a pro because he feels as solid as a rock. Give it time and one day you’ll get there.Īnybody who’s been in the ring with a pro before will know what I’m talking about. If you’re too inexperienced that you can’t notice these details (even with my descriptions), you’re probably not at the right level to try them yet. It’s time for you to start noticing the little details and things that you didn’t realize existed before and hopefully one day incorporate them into your game. My hope is to at least open your mind to other techniques out there. I will TELL you what they do, but I won’t TEACH you what they do (at least not in this guide). This guide isn’t so much about giving instruction as it is about raising awareness. Here they are: 10 POPULAR pro boxing techniques! I share them to the best of my ability for your enjoyment and perhaps future boxing inspiration. They are very hard to see and even harder to do. Many of these special techniques are subtle and require truly refined skills that can only be developed through years of training.
