Not when I do it, but depending on your style and speed, the position could either help you or hurt you

Crouching position requires more energy through the legs ….upright boxing requires less energy and even hand positions with lowering the guard sometimes. You use more muscles with a lower stance it’s like asking someone to go into a horse stance as opposed to just a straight stance and see who tires more ….crouching position takes a more better condition fighter to transition the punches ,you got to work harder but it’s not more effective that depends on the fighter ?

Yes, boxing in a crouched position is generally more tiring than boxing in an upright position. The crouched position, often referred to as a "defensive stance" or "crouch guard," involves bending your knees and slightly lowering your body, bringing your hands closer to your face to protect your head and body.

Here are some reasons why boxing in a crouched position can be more tiring:

1. Increased Muscle Activation: Boxing in a crouched position requires increased muscle activation in your legs, especially in the quadriceps and glutes, to maintain the crouched stance. This can lead to faster muscle fatigue compared to an upright position where the legs are more relaxed.
2. Lower Center of Gravity: The crouched position lowers your center of gravity, providing better stability and balance. However, this also means that your muscles need to work harder to maintain the lowered position, which can contribute to increased fatigue.
3. Limited Mobility: While the crouched position offers defensive advantages, it can limit your mobility and agility. Moving in and out of the crouch requires more effort compared to an upright position, where you can move more freely and with less strain on your legs.
4. Body Mechanics: The crouched position changes your body mechanics, making it more challenging to generate power in your punches. This means you may need to rely on faster movements and combination punches, which can also be more demanding on your muscles and energy.

That said, the crouched position is valuable in boxing for defensive purposes, as it helps protect your vital areas and allows for quicker reactions to your opponent's attacks. Boxers often switch between different stances during a match, depending on their strategy and the situation.

In conclusion, while boxing in a crouched position has its advantages, it can be more tiring than boxing in an upright position due to increased muscle activation, limited mobility, and altered body mechanics. Balancing between defensive and offensive stances is crucial for boxers to maintain energy levels and effectively execute their strategies during a match.

I boxed my entire amateur time as a classic boxer.

I'd walk the ring controlling with the jab.

When I turned pro I wanted to be extra aggressive.

I had heard that it was what the people wanted to see, so that's what I did.

If the bell didn't ring to end the round than I was in your face throwing shots.

It took more in the legs to fight this way, crouched, slippin' and jivin' your way in.

I was always lookin' for the cat who didn't fully get prepared for the fight.

Take his heart and eat it, yum................Rockin'
