Pressure fighting

[emilio168]

Any good tactics, tips and techniques on pressure fighting while being defensive responsible.

What would do you keep in mind when pressuring a southpaw?

How do you walk your opponent down keeping him on his heels?

[R-Hand Southpaw]

Some styles don't work for every fighter. Choose one that meshes best with who you are.

If your opponent is skilled you won't be able to just "walk him down". You need to give him a reason to cover up or not return fire.

Most people generally use hands up while moving forward. Hands at the side of the head protect you and allows your hands to parry incoming shots and counter.

But, it also has a weakness as its susceptible to jabs and hooks.

Personally I use my jab. As a right handed Southpaw my right has good accuracy and power. Stiff jabs keep opponents off of you. Feints keep them guessing.

Personally i hate the southpaw vs southpaw match up because I'm not used to fighting another southpaw. A lot of my angles were trained against orthodox opponents.

If you're orthodox fighting a south paw let me give you some tips.

Always be aware of where your feet are. Stepping on feet happens a lot. If you get caught youre pretty much done, intentional or not. Don't worry about the outside angle so much. A lot has been made about taking the outside angle but its also sometimes advantageous to step inside.

Stepping inside makes you closer to your opponent so you can land but get in and get out. Watch Pacquiao and how he used the inside angle.

Any time you throw your rear hand practice dipping at the waist right after. This way you stay defensively responsible and don't get hit with count fire.

Remember. Boxing is physical but its even more mentally taxing. I try my best not to head hunt and instead focus more on breaking the opponents mind and his body. The head soon follows.

When I turned pro I told my trainer that I wanted to be a pressure fighter. Where I get on them and stay on them until the bell rings, where I would then rest for a minute. The bell rings again and I'm right back on them.

You'd better be in shape if you try this fighting style. 3 minutes can be an awfully long time if you did not properly prepare.

One thing that I found is every fighter will react in some way once you cross their comfort zone. Anticipate their blows, block/slip and make them pay. Find that line that is their comfort zone and work right on that line, constantly crossing it even.

Going to the body is good too, as they probably did not prepare for a fight like this and taking any little bit out of them will pay dividends.

You will eat shots fighting like this. But if you have true heart you will find your opponents weaknesses and pound on him.

Tough style in an already tough sport. Show up 100% every night and give it what you got.

However, this sport is not for cry babies. And this style is not as well, even more so..…….Rockin'

I fought amateur for 7 years and then turned pro under Jackie Kallen and her Galaxy gym . My first pro fight was on a card telecast live in 6 countries. My next fight was at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Then my girlfriend told me that she was pregnant. I got called to fight at the Palace again the next month, that's when something happened that showed me the truth of this sport. It had happened before but I had nobody relying on me in the future, like a kid, and that changed my whole perspective of life. I fought at the Palace again, but this time with a lung infection. I had agreed to fight the guy weighing no more than 142lbs after fighting the month before at 154lbs. I walked away from the sport after that and came back here or there for the next 6 years or so just because I missed the warring. I was never properly prepared for a fight during this time. I do love this sport and only want to help people with what I learned in my time fighting...?.Rockin'
