- Legendary Roy Jones Jr. recently took to social media to post video of himself demonstrating the proper technique for one of his signature moves as the boxing world is on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. You don't want to miss how he looked. Check it out!
Great to see him passing his knowledge to the next generation
Word
Those who say that Roy was all about athleticism don't know what they are watching. He obviously had certain physical attributes that shaped his style, like great hand speed and reflexes, but you just don't become a champion without a good set of skills. An athlete who can't fight is useless. Roy obviously knew what he was doing.
Even if you have athleticism like Mike Tyson, if that's all you got, the elite level fighters will pick you apart like an amateur.
@@16gcoasta tyson was more about talent and Roy jones is more about extremely genetics
@@ved7816 Roy was more talented, athletic, and skillful, his iq is extremely underrated and a lot higher than Tysons.
He definitely relied more on his attributes than other fighters. For example Bernard was able to stay at the top a lot longer than Roy, because he was a lot more skilled. If I had to pick Roy or Benard as a coach I would pick Bernard. I’m a huge Roy Jones Jr fan btw.
If anyone knows boxing Roy lost because of his weight he kept destroying his body going up and down in weight finally caught up with him once he got knocked out once it was over he lost his confidence and it went down hill
Youre right all we can say is the legend like this will born in every thousand years 😩
That happened when he was like 35 years old so it's all good. Still the greatest middle weight, super middle weight, and light heavy weight of all times. I mean the dude beat James Toney can you imagine that
@@antoinemantoux1520 it baffles me how he publicly said that Toney was his toughest fight in his prime.... and in that fight he only TOYED with Toney, the fact that in his prime he probably never went full power scares me for some reason, truly the greatest
I've been throwing this leaping hook from the southpaw position (leaping right hook) for over 2 decades now. Thank God for speed because no way I'd be able to pull it off. Thanks Roy!!
I'm a southpaw as well and I find it good for defensive purposes also.Being an advantage on the outside of an Orthodox front foot, if it clips you bring them in with a follow up uppercut or cross if they block it you've changed an angle and got out of the way
That pad work getting the fighter to pop his punches in smashing the pads. Great technique. I can feel the difference.
When Roy would throw it, often both his feet would leave the ground and he would glide through the air for a second.
I don't really think that technique can be "taught", that's just insane athleticism that only Roy was born with
Lol
Yep, if u look at his build as well it helps compensate his power with condensed muscle groups, his posture and stance was not very supinated, therefore made him explosive (shoulders rounded/bicep activation etc.) When bringing the hook in, add that with hand speed, light feet and good timing you get KO power with RJJs lead hooks
@@bigdosser7448 can you elaborate a bit more on what supinated means?
@@jay-xe3kl he was very rounded over in his physique and his style of boxing, shown in how he threw his hooks, condensed, multiple muscle groups used together to generate explosive power. Example: u cannot run fast at full stride straight off the blocks right? Bent knees, tight back, leg drive, hip/glute power recruitment and momentum with the swing of each arm will get you that explosion (eg. combined muscle groups) to get you to top speed, now apply that to rjjs combinations, and ko punches🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@bigdosser7448 thanks very much for that. I can see it in his explosiveness for sure. great observation
Roy Jones body in the ring talkin bout...."I smoooke... I draaank... I'm supposed to stop but I caaaant"
That is not a secret, he used to use the same strategy in all his combats
leaping left hook is honestly bad boxnig. it only works because roy is such a freak. Like if i was a boxing coach, i would fire any student that starts throwing leaping left hooks because 99% of people aren't fast enough.
I don't see how anyone could give that a thumbs down.
R Davis he never got knocked out in his prime so
@@farcry123x you mis understand his comment. Hes saying RJJ beat their fighter and that's why they're mad.
The oldschool boxers (halloffame) have such a natural uncomplicated way to teach..
The teach ya the basics with their method which make them great
One day, I will master that leaping left hook.
U gotta come to dallas og u need some fresh talent
The greatest punch in combat sports
Who else knew that Roy was really captain hook?!
He got better in under 120 secs with RJ
a left leg shorter makes you easily to make a fluid movement to hook really hard after a right punch; at least is what happens to me
If anyone watches UFC then you saw Alex Pereira win the title with this punch
The R...👑✌
Who’s here after hearing about the Tyson fight?
I didn't know Steph Curry boxed
Jajaaja
Waw it's like a cross i never noticed
I’m so happy he’s teaching!
Captain Hook.
Roy ....it's very hard to get other guys to understand...it's more release...also your spring comes from playing with them gamecock roosters...this is not a punch you load up or sit down on unless u stepping back...fighters now a days be so stiff...maybe I should offer yoga for boxers lol. I charge per hr y'all...get ya breathing right
Capt Hook hahaa
hes not teaching a leaping left hook in this video it's just a regular left hook?
1:40Roy Jones-Bruuh...Floyd senior aint your coach right?
can someone plz what is he trying to teach in the second video? with the right hand left hook?
great video
Great video by a legend
I love to see him passing this left hook knowledge down. It's the hook that put him in my top 5. It's the most beautiful punch in boxing when used correctly. Roy is the master of blinding left hooks
That's awesome! Luv RRJ! NOT THE BEST...ONE OF THE BEST EVER!
Lol
Reminds me the gazelle punch
The 🐐 preaching wisdom
Best of the best
_Roy Jones mumbles for __3:20_
So?
2:48 Myke Tyson-Hold my blunt
That’s not technique... that’s athleticism... we seen the end result when he lost a step and Tarver knocked him out 🤦🏾♂️
After 15 yrs of kicking everyone's ass and losing muscle from heavyweight.
@Jay Hobbs thats cool but he wouldn't beat prime Roy...Tarver had faced nobody until Roy.
Moron
The 'secret' is fighting bums, right? Got any excuses tonight, Roy?
He made them look like bums because he was that good
name one bum he beat, that you could beat?
James Toney and Bernard Hopkins are bums? You sound silly.
Tarver could never beat prime Toney and he lost tona old ass Hopkins.
Sweet I should be able to do this now
