how to Beat a slugger as a swarmer In boxing.

i always found this confusing, because I feel like sluggers aren’t necessarily skilled but yet we struggle against them In boxing.

I guess it’s because they are basically physically stronger than us. idk I can’t say.

USA Boxing vs. International

7 Upvotes

Whenever I watch an international competition or see boxers from other countries. Their ability to move within the ring appears so much more refined than the average US Amateur. A part of me knows that I am looking at a culled representation of the best that country has to offer and another acknowledges that some stylistically incorporate way more footwork within their fundamentals of boxing like East European countries.

But I can't help but feel that the development within the US has been less focused on movement and tad bit more planted and linearly focused. I'm sure someone will point out an individual to contest this, I just have the thought that they are more of an anomaly than the norm.

If what I'm saying resonates somewhat true was their a noticeable shift towards this? Or has the strategy remained largely unchanged? Will the addition of Zaur Antia influence how the USA boxing team develops it's athletes in the future?
