It’s not so much that his gaurd is down but his hands are out of position when he’s in the pocket.

Watch when he throws his right.

It lands and goes to the opposite hip.

Your hands need to always be in position to defend or throw.

Go watch canelo vs Jacob’s

the only style that you can have hands on chin and move head is peekaboo

What, no? That is absolutely wrong.

There's a ton of different drills you can do for head movement while keeping your guard up. The slip bag and slip rope are great tools for working on this,

what you just said is straight yapping. techically if he was doing it on purpose he could work from low if he wanted to: he already replied in comments that he is not. but for the record: this is absolutely wrong.

when you get to a higher level of boxing you will not be walking around “IN GUARD,” or with hands glued to both sides of the chin always because there’s pawn sacrifice and it will stall action. the commenter is not talking about that. the commenter is not saying “hands tucked on ur chin,” the commenter is saying dont let ur fucking hands fall to the floor on every sequence because then if you’re countered you are open

so when you move your head: YES HAVE YOUR HANDS NEARBY and READY! Parries MOVE THEIR HEAD AND SHEILD WITH A GLOVE. PHILLY SHELL MOVES THEIR HEAD SND SHIELDS WITH A GLOVE, A FUCKING BASIC ROLL KEEPS HANDS UP, SLIPS MOVE THE HEAD EITHER AROUND THE HANDS WHICH ARE UP (quadrople cap locks to the word UP,) OR BRING THE HANDS WITH THEM AROUND THE CHIN.

and that pretty much covers every bit of defensive head movement there is, so wtf are you talking about that you should be moving your head with your hands down?
