How do i box a quick boxer?

Question

i was told the jab neutralizes a lot of speedsters. any other advice from anybody?

Answer 1

1. Jab to slow him down on the way in. Be prepared to throw a right off that jab if he's off balance.

2. Always own the center of the ring and try to corner the opponent. He can't run when his back is on the ropes.

3. If you have the power advantage, try to lure him into a close-range fight so you don't have to chase to land your shots. Let him think he's being effective on the inside and then unleash a couple combinations. If he tends to clinch or retreat the same way often, you can time his exit with a bomb.

Answer 2

You need good foot work.... To beat a quick fighter you need to use the angles in the ring. My dad would always tell me that the ring is square not circle for a reason.

You can use the jab but if hes really quick hes just gonna counter over your jab or move side to side to slip and counter. You have to cut off the ring and go to the body early and often. With hard hard shots. When you get him in the ropes or corner, all body. Work your way up the ladder, meaning start at the body and work your way up to the head.

The most important thing is that your going to have to take shots to give shots. Just make sure your moving your head and cut off the ring...Good Luck Bro...

Answer 3

Angles and a vicious body attack is the most effective way to fight a quick boxer. First you cut off the ring with your angles. Make the ring feel smaller. Don't let him use all the ring and stay on his bike ( running around slipping and moving) and make you chase him while he pot shots you. If he is indeed faster than you, this will only tire you quicker. He will be able to move in and out of your range and pot shot you or use quick little combos to score or make you BLEED!! depending if he has any power to go along with his speed. So shorten the ring with you angle and put everything you have into your body shots. If you can continue this it should slow him down in time. Making him tired and depending if you have any power it should hurt his body (ribs) making him lower his guard to protect his ribs. As he does this I'm sure you can imagine whats next. A good stiff body shot then to the head with your money punch for the KO.

Answer 4

The jab is effective against a speedy guy.

Avoid throwing looping punches, rather throw
straight punches in combination. Also, if you
punch well to the body, then a few well placed
bodypunches could slow the guy down. Just
be aware that when you drop your punches
to the body, you are open to counterpunches
to your head.
I sparred with a really speedy guy years ago. He
would move quickly forward and hit me with very
quick flurries. I started double jabbing him and that
worked well. Though, I had a somewhat stinging jab
so that was in my favor. Another time that we sparred
I remember that I hurt him good with a heavy left hook
to the body. Also, keep a tight guard, and DON'T
drop your hands after throwing punches, cause a fast
boxer will capitalize on your mistakes.

Answer 5

quick footed boxer? Or quick handed boxer? Or both?

timing is the best way to combat that speedy guy.
But it lso comes down to what youre own strengths are, and your style.

You can try cutting off the ring, but if hes faster handed than you, you betterbe willing to eat alot of leather.

Head movement, and counter punching too.

Theres tons of ways to offset someone faster than you, but it all comes down to do you have the counter punching timing and ability to pull it off.
Do you have good enough balance to bob and weave, slip and counter punch.

Heck, you time one of his jabs with a slip --> uppercut, you could knock someone out with a well timed counter.

So it really all depends on how fast of a jabber you are, how good of a counter puncher you are, your defense and your timing.

Then, lets not get into is that quick boxer more experienced than you?
If he can adjust to your adjustments, well then youre in for a really long day.

Learn the fundamentals...stick to the fundamentals..
Balance, technique, speed and power.
And footwork.
Punches in bunches will do it, and strategy to set up your opponent and create openings and angles for your shots.

People thought mayweather was going to destroy De La Hoya...but it was DLH's footwork, defense and stiff jab that kept mayweather from really terrorizing DLH.

So it can be done...and thats a good example.

Go To The Body Early

Answer 7

From the other room ?

really if you are in a ring, it seems that getting him in a corner would stop his moving around.

Sorry I'm not a boxer kind of guy, I tend towards sword fighting.

here is a link I found, not sure if it will help.
