“And yet a great performance and a showreel knockout gets everyone saying, ‘We’re back, we’re back baby.’

“That’s what I can’t wait for, because I love it when our backs are against the wall.

“That’s the best moments and this is one of those moments for AJ. He wants a big fight in the summer.

There are also many combinations. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does so by using his arms, elbows and hands as well as his knees, knees and legs.

Legs

To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.

Elbows

Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.

Hands

Boxers use their arms to stop incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.

Knees

Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.

Feet

If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.

Stances

A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the more popular ones:

  • Low stance
  • High stance
  • Southpaw stance

The Body Movement

A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.

Rotation

Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.

Combinations

The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
