4 Tips for Infighting Dominance

https://www.myboxingcoach.com - Never as a fighter are you more alive, tuned-in and primed than when you are at close range – in the pocket. To become dominant at close range, also referred to as infighting, you need to demonstrate a whole host of personal qualities and fight skills. Courage, coolness and clinical execution are in my experience very much borne of possessing the right boxing skills and being aware of the right boxing tactics. Close range fighting is more complex – there are more variables and more unpredictability due simply to the reduced time to think and plan ahead, even by seconds. During my own workouts, I often dedicate full rounds on the heavy bag of staying at very close range – ‘in the pocket’. I also do this when I am leading a team of boxers on a training session. Long-range punches are not allowed. You stay close on the bag and use smart feet and body movement along with dynamic punching to create openings and varied attack sequences. I find this approach really effective at exercising your boxing brain (and blast your lungs too) – I urge you to give it a go. In this video we cover 4 tips covering foot placement, stance width, defences and punch selection.
