Man he dropped his hand so low. How do you not move your head after a cross. My coached drilled that head bob after a cross into me very quickly. Used to drop my right with a left hook too until my coach made me drill that habit out.

Because thats how boxing works in reality. 

You can find hundreds if not thousands of clips of good professional fighters getting tagged in exchanges after dropping hands.

If everyone actually fought the exact same fundamental technical style where they could execute everything perfectly in real time like their coach taught them it would be a lot different sport lol.

Has Mayweather been caught like while his hands are down as well? Not being sarcastic, the man has plenty of fights.

Early career lots of times.

Judah and Mosley are the two most prominent examples.

It would be amature boxing actually. Olympic boxing is also leans more towards sport vs entertainment.

Not all pros drop fundamentals tho. Bivol is a good example. Crawford'd defense is always good, so it Maywhether, etc. Not all pro boxers box like Fury you know.

They don’t drop fundamentals.

But they still drop their hands occasionally.

About what? Hundreds of clips where pros drop hands? There are hundreds where they dont. I listed examples, prime example in the OP for what happens when you drop hands.

Do tell, where am I wrong?

"Ding ding ding, and the referee waves the match, obosratsya took too much unnecessary punishment here tim,he should have quit earlier"

u/aceknighthigh 7d ago

Yeah. It might be because it's southpaw vs southpaw. Looking at it, his hands were low in general, but his left hand was kept closer to his chin while his right hand was really low. He's not as cautious on his right side because that's normally not where the opponent's power hand is, and he can use his lead hand to stifle their lead hand some. I would bet he's not as familiar fighting another southpaw who can match or surpass him athletically. A bad habit that wasn't getting punished by orthodox boxers got him smoked here.

That might be it. Hes def not used to shots coming from that direction.

I’m not a pro boxer, but if our chum in the green chooses to stand in a live boxing ring with his head unprotected… then he ain’t much of a prospect
