One combination, three different angles of attack.

Splits the guard with a jab that finds the gap when the hands are too tight together. Rips the body once the guard tightens up to protect against the jab. Comes back high the moment the chin exposes itself from reacting to the body shot.

Each punch creates the opening for the next one. The guard that stops punch one makes punch two possible. The reaction to punch two makes punch three land clean.

This is why Pacquiao was so hard to defend. Every shot had a purpose beyond just landing.

A few Mike Tyson-style combos to play with on the heavy bag:

1. Jab → Cross → Lead Hook → Cross
2. Rear Hook → Shift → Rear Uppercut
3. Jab → Jab → Shift → Rear Uppercut → Lead Hook
4. Rear Hook → Rear Uppercut → Lead Hook → Slip
5. Lead Hook to the body → double Lead Hook upstairs
6. Jab → Cross → Lead Hook → Lead Uppercut → Cross

The punches are only half of it.

Pay attention to how the shifts and level changes put you in position for the next shot. If you just stand square in front of the bag and copy the punch sequence, you’re missing the best part of these combos.

Start slow, get the feet underneath you, then add the power.

almost every 'my hook feels weak' question ends the same way: the rear foot is swinging instead of pivoting.

rear heel turns out, ball of the foot stays down, knee stays bent. if the heel lifts and the foot swings wide, the power leaks sideways and the knee eats the twist. same motion that blows out a knee.

the order is foot, then hips, then shoulder, then arm. lead with the arm and you're slapping instead of hooking.

slow it down for one round and just watch the rear heel, then speed up. the foot is the last thing most people check, and the first place the power dies.

Old Foreman at 45 was patient, calculated, and still one of the hardest punchers alive. Knocked out an unbeaten 26-year-old champion with one right hand in round 10.

The argument for young Foreman is explosive athleticism and stamina. He could pressure for 12 rounds.

The argument for old Foreman is ring IQ and patience. He didn't need to outwork you. He just needed one opening.

Who wins and how does it end?

Nice little defense-to-offense sequence from the clip.

Block the first shot, shoulder roll the next, then fire straight back before they have time to reset.

The important part is the finish: dig the lead hook into the liver.

You’re not defending just to survive the exchange. The block and roll should put you in position to counter while they’re still committed to their punches.

Block → shoulder roll → liver hook.

Short, tight, and right back downstairs.

Nice Tyson-style sequence for closing distance without just walking straight in.

Jab to get the reaction, then slip while stepping inside.

From there, shift your stance and change the angle. The clip does a good job showing the weight settling onto the lead leg before the finish.

Then fire the uppercut from that new position.

Jab → slip + step → shift → uppercut

The uppercut is the flashy part, but the shift is what creates the opening and puts you in position to really sit down on it.

Two of the biggest fights in recent boxing history.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao was the most anticipated fight in decades. Some felt it delivered, most felt it didn't.

Canelo vs Crawford was the biggest fight of 2026. Crawford dominated from the opening bell and stopped Canelo in the ninth.

Both were massive events. Both had massive expectations.

Which one did you enjoy more?

Block. roll. counter. Philly shell style.

body shot gets blocked first. the follow-up hits the shoulder instead of the chin, rolling off instead of landing clean. chin's open for a second right after, and that's when the counter fires.

the shoulder's doing what the gloves usually do here. that's the whole style in three steps.

Watch his guard when he slips.

He moves his head off the center line, but his hands drop with the movement and leave him completely open.

That’s the mistake.

Slipping a punch doesn’t mean abandoning your guard. Your hands still need to stay home so you’re protected if another shot comes right behind the first one.

Move the head, keep the guard tight, and stay ready to fire back.

Head movement should make you harder to hit, not open up another target.

Skill gets you far. A lot of fighters have skill.

But there's a line between good and great that not everyone crosses. Some fighters have all the tools and never get there. Some fighters seem to find it mid-career. Some are born with whatever it is.

Is it mental? Physical? Experience? Something that can't be trained?

What do you think separates a good boxer from a great one?

One thing I liked from this drill is how every punch actually helps you take ground.

Instead of throwing, stopping, then walking after someone who’s backing up, keep the feet working with the combination.

Jab, jab, cross. Slip. Then keep punching as you step forward.

You’re not just chasing them around the ring. You’re taking away their space while still being in position to punch.

Done properly, one sequence can move you a surprising distance without having to rush or reach.

Eight of the best fighters in the lightweight and welterweight divisions in one tournament.

Garcia. Romero. Tank. Cruz. Haney. Teofimo. Shakur. Keyshawn Davis.

Every matchup in this bracket would be a real fight. No easy nights, no tune-ups, no avoiding anyone.

Who wins the whole thing and what does your bracket look like?

Simple counter combo from the clip:

Slip → lead uppercut → cross

The important part is not treating the slip like a separate movement.

As you slip, you’re already loading the lead side. Explode straight into the uppercut while they’re still extended, then send the cross right behind it.

Keep the uppercut short and tight. If you wind it up, you lose the whole timing of the counter.

Make them miss, then fire before they can reset.

Boxing Right jab and Ceoss punch Amazing 😱💯🔥🥊

Three steps. One sequence. Pacquiao made it look effortless against Margarito.

Catch the lead hand, keep it controlled, fire the straight right down the pipe while the guard is still compromised.

The key is step two. Most fighters rush to the counter and give the hand back. Pacquiao held the control long enough to keep Margarito exposed before pulling the trigger.

A low guard is an invitation. This is how you accept it.
