[questions] The Ultimate List of Mitts Combos

[Rockin']

double jab right hand finish with left hook to the bodyis arguably the most effective combo in boxing

it certainly is the most fluid to just let go, I agree.


..... and then one to the nardz........

After i spar i usually do a round of 1,1 and 2 till exhaustion. My trainer had me do it and its stuck since. I guess its so your muscle memory will do it when youre exhausted.

By good foundation I mean you have the basics down solid before moving into shifting. I'd question a trainer for not calling you out on it unless he's actually shown you how to do it. It's rarely used effectively now though some do (GGG) for the fact it is risky if you haven't spent time working on it.

Are you punching and then switching stance or are you doing a full rotation with your punch? It sounds like you are pretty effective with it which is good. It will catch a lot of guys off guard when you actually fight unless they've seen you spar. I like seeing guys using older techniques that you don't see as often. People might think that because the way things were done 100yrs ago is outdated however I've always felt like it is more of a lost art. Best of luck

Oh ok , i got it now. Doing full rotation , worked on it hundreds of times this way, never tried "punch and switch" way Seen some of the boxers that belongs to 30's era , do this shifting. Love that era , oldie but bestie.

also,
why do so many boxers do the "mayweather padwork" kinda ****? i been trying to understand the purpose behind those routines, dont quite get it lol

Watch and learn. There is so much boxing gold demonstrated here.

awesome, thanks!
but i cant understand a word he says... (sound quality is horrible)

Yes, it would be great if there was a better quality clip of that session.

Still in that vid and in Parts 4 and 5 you get to see the pad work broken down slowly piece by piece. Then they put it all together and do it fast at the end.

Parts 1 and 2 have Roger working with a different girl too if you need more.

That should be enough to get a decent understanding of what the Mayweathers do and why they do it. Most people don't have a clue.

firstly, dear trainers/boxers of training&nutrition, please, throw me some of your favorite/most efficient combos/routines with the padwork.

It's used for rhythm, reactions, fluidity, staying tight, creativity of combos, etc..

I use this style of mittwork (not exclusively).

My go to is what I call the base
- Rear Upper
- Straight
- Lead hook
- Block a Left Hook
- Lead hook
- Straight
- Lead Upper Body
- Lead hook head
- Straight

And then you loop it forever starting back at the beginning of the combination without skipping a beat.

From there I will call out different maneuvers for my fighter to execute when he reaches a certain point of the combination, ie slip, pull, roll, touch jab, turn, step with me, block high or low, etc etc


Another one of my favorites is a very simplistic one;
- Jab
- Then they slip a jab while simultaneous throwing their jab to my sternum (it gives them the option to throw to the head or body)
- When they are dipped off to their rear angle, I will throw a straight right
- As they slip the straight R Hand, they slip opposite while, again, simultaneously throwing a straight to the body

After that you can build off of that combination, for instance, adding the left hook to the head, straight, then digging downstairs.

Good, don't try to punch and switch. I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to be sleeping anytime soon lol Stanley Ketchel, Roberto Duran, Jack Dempsey, and of course the originator Jim Jefferies...not the comedian. Watch them as they are great at shifting.
