the key to being a good counter puncher is not to focus on making him miss. it's about making them throw when and what you want them to throw. it's all about false openings.
Mayweather actually thinks and lures opponents to break rythm, throw punches, become aggresive, etc. He studies them, he sometimes builds his whole thing in the first rounds, waiting for the oponent to get used to some counters, only to catch them later and counter their counter. That is thinking.Training in box for muscle memory is necessary regardless you are a counterpuncher or not.
Tru but all u have to do is faint the jab so he can throw his jab .. If this guy throws that right over the top shoulder roll with distance I can counter with my right hand bc he drops his left ..
slipping into a right hand .... im 42 and started boxing at 8 years old and i never herd of that in my life lol i was wondering if anyone was going to say something about that
badbillys I was told that but disagreed I use to like slipping to my outside on a jab and counter with a left cross as archy Moore called it , basically I would turn my lead left to my back hand
Everyone's talking about how can you easily get hit when you slip but remember these are deception tactics, you're not going to slip every time, obviously you will get hit. You're supposed to do this when the opponent doesn't expect it.
Got Game, I agree with you! TIMING is related to each specific individual and that timing is unique to each person, timing is essential in developing counter punching ability. Its a blend of timing, savvy and courage! The most a coach should do in my opinion is teach the fundamental boxing, the essential techniques Parry's, Stop Blows, Bobs and Weave, Rolls, Slips. And all of those techniques are tweaked through thousands of partner repetition drills, then through tap sparring first a fighter will begin to learn the subtle nuances of drawing an opponent and countering effectively.
Giselle X Could be he sounds like he knows his stuff, I'd like to see how he works a corner before I say he needs top fighters. Many young trainers arent experienced enough to work the corners in actual pro fights, I seen some guys (Trainers) crack in the heat of the moment when things went sour in an amateur fight & pro ones aswell, wont throw anyone under the bus because were cool tho Lol, but they serious F%#$ up!
SanctusDeus Cruor How would we know how he works the corner if his boxers' fights are not televised? Hopefully, he'll get one good fighter so we can see
+Giselle X Not really, most boxers know this stuff. Maybe he goes a little deeper than mid level amateurs. Pro trainers can go much much deeper than this. They could write an entire essay about something even very specific, rather than some over-arching concept such as counters. For example, Bernard Hopkins can talk for hours on not only feints, but a single type of feint.
But if you "step" into the shot as demonstrated in your 1st technique wouldn't that actually set you up in a position where your opponent could strike you with his right hand? Because it looks like a slip to the inside and then punch, Which in itself is actually pretty dangerous unless you are extremely fast, because IF you miss...you WILL get that right hand! Am I not right?
luftwaffle96 no, if you keep doing it a few times the opponent will catch on and they'll be expecting that punch. Machida uses that exact punch in all his fights and shogun just waited for him to throw it.
You are supposed to slip a punch moving towards your opponents body so that you aren't in range for the next shot, that would be "pulling back" which is a big no no. You are slipping a straight punch putting yourself in close range to land an uppercut or hook
I believe that all forms of competition are connected to each other psychologically. Different sports are just different types of activity, but the mental aspect of them remains the same. It's about dealing with competition, taking responsibility for losses, keep improving, self-discipline, practicing fundamentals etc. etc. If you have been busy competing since a young age and have an ego to win, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to switch to boxing later in life and be successful in it. The most important factor no matter what sport is having a competitive nature, having the desire to win, hating to lose and the rest will follow by itself.
i can see a lot of the haters in the commets i think most of them forget that the first counter is extremly effective and ive done it in fights rocking my opponent and never being caught with a counter but the key word to doing that is "timing", this kind of counter should only be use in special situations or when you can really feel the punch wich comes with experience
can u slip to your left and come up with a over right hook? the thing about smacking the punch with the glove is you could get caught doing it. Abner Mares vs Johnny Gonzalez
You are supposed to slip a punch moving towards your opponents body so that you aren't in range for the next shot, that would be "pulling back" which is a big no no. You are slipping a straight punch putting yourself in close range to land an uppercut or hook
the information in this video is valid imo. It's just not very well broken down into the various types of countering with beginner clarity but he did cover them actually. you can counter off: timing shots, blocking shots, you can set up a counter by engaging (clean up left hook is an example of a punch that kinda works as a bail out counter shot off a 2 by itself), slipping/angles I personally only timed jabs, nothing else. most of my counters are mostly engaged from my attack or off slips. That's what I liked.
In my humble opinion I feel the jab will beat the right so I would rather throw my right after defending and catching them on the lazy return of the jab. The lead had will land first because looking at it logically it's closer to the target than a rear hand.
Canelo had Floyd on the ropes & threw a jab.....Floyd countered before Canelo's jab got there, slipped the jab & countered while Canelo's jab was there, then countered Canelo's jab for the 3rd time as Canelo pulled back. 1 Jab countered 3X & 3 ways.
3:01 , you are suseptable to his right uppercut bro. should have gave the LEFT straight to the body pivot out to the right and landed a right hook off outside.
Very Good video. I personally feel that there are many many poor videos on countering out there. I think the counter jab is the most important punch in boxing and there is too much emphasis on trying to slip punches and not enough on countering punches. If you focus on countering a jab for example your natural head movement will slip the punch. The only difference is you are hitting back quickly and purposefully while taking away his rythym while setting up your rythym. An excellent counter jab can set up your attack and keep you in positions where you won't get jabbed cleanly which seems very basic, but it can really be effective. At the pro level I have seen boxers like Segei Kovolev, GGG, and Andre Ward all win crucial rounds in fights with a great counter jab. I recommend analyzing GGG's counter jab. Look at round 1 and 2 of his fight against David lemieux. He just jabbed and counter jabbed him for 2 rounds and mentally lemieux was finished.
Find and dandy until he throws a lead left hook ...trying to come over a lead left hook because you are timing his jab, you are going to eat an elbow or the hook. Slipping a jab is more effective IMO
I like this guys tips but I don't know if I believe that boxing is the most complicated sport. Muy Thai and MMA have a lot more aspects but include boxing. Even BJJ seems more complex in some ways. Maybe if you're talking about drilling down on the punching aspect of fighting itself he's right.
Alpha2kBeta GL timing a guy who's fast as fuck and can use any sort of fakes.. also precision doesnt help if hes a rhino.. you can be dead accurate against GGG but hes coming forward and hurting you bad.. everything is in context
+Calvin Prosser i agree especially with the first part , speed kills in the fucking ring especially when coupled with conditioning there's not much you can do...
None of that helped him when he got choked out from 2 week camp fresh from Mexico Nate Diaz while being on the cusp of getting knocked out. He needs to fix his cardio.
Enjoyed the video but the counter at 9:12 is not a good idea. Got both hands wrapped up and you're waiting for the opponents right hand to put you on your ass
+BLaCkKsHeEp He probably loved pizza too, but that doesn't make liking it somehow wrong :D It is a great quote, and very accurate. That a monster liked it too is just irrelevant imo :)
BLaCkKsHeEp I've heard the saying multiple times before, but I never heard it attributed to Hitler before you mentioned it :) Either way, it's a very accurate saying, so it doesn't really matter who all used it, it doesn't diminish it's applicability.
Why don't you used some of Canelo Alvarez's counter-punching that he did in the fucking Triple G Fight Triple G fight if you want to teach people about counter-punching Canelo is one of the best counter punches out there I know there's a few but Canelo is one that comes to mind thank you very much
The whole young vs old learning thing is bullshit. Some people have been through a lot of shit and want change and want to learn. Some young just are doing it for no reason might not be driven as much as the older guy.
yes but ive done it and rocked the guy in my first amateur, it takes some practice but when you feel he is gonna throw the jab you almost throw your right inmediatly like a instinc and rockhim, i send the guy flying through the ropes but if you dont feel this counter then you shouldnt throw it because your opponents right can probably catch you
Scooby Doo sounds cool. there's a big difference between thinking you know something in theory and actually putting into practice against top level opposition
Bulshit, nothing technically right, throwing overhand without changing your place, it is not counter punching, you will eat that jab before you can connect to him and he is teaching boxing
Don Hicky reach will matter if you will counter punch with jab. With right hand over hand you should have at least twice longer reach than your opponent, it is unreal
some guy casually jump roped all 15 minutes. props to that guy behind the scene.
3 years later and this comment still funny af
the key to being a good counter puncher is not to focus on making him miss. it's about making them throw when and what you want them to throw. it's all about false openings.
makes sense.
i feel u dunny.

"You want to steal their turn", very well put.
This guy is an amazing coach! that's the best explanation and demonstration of counter punching I've ever seen!
slipping into a right hand is a bad idea lol

^That's fucking dumb wtf.
DaffaDon TheGreaT can u coach me shmuck? I want to learn from shmuck fuck.
U don't have many options there most likely a cross or hook is coming after slipping a jab and its gonna be with the right hand even from Southpaw
Beautiful video. This teacher knows what he is talking about. Very practical. Thank you.
6:48 "timing and distance" . Man you said it all !! I would only add "breathing properly".
Everyone's talking about how can you easily get hit when you slip but remember these are deception tactics, you're not going to slip every time, obviously you will get hit. You're supposed to do this when the opponent doesn't expect it.
Yea and they act like the opponent is throwing 2 punches at the same time. Regardless, in a shower u get wet in a fight you get hit
Should make a series, very interesting and fun to watch 👍.
Your a Big inspiration. God bless you.
He's awesome!!
This guy is trying to get me knocked out

I will work on this drill in the morning
His coaching instincts are good, and I wish him success.
Brandon needs some top fighters. He appears to really know his craft.

dude!! i just took a shit and it looks just like a baby!
I love this guy, great coach!

1:47 bad idea
thats just one of the options.
Rather Notsay dont limit yourself because youre told this and that, try whatever you want and train it. Combat is limitless
Relentless i tried that once and got hit with a straight right
God if you slip the inside jam his right glove with your right hand and half step again with a left wherever available
That's how Lubin got k.o in the first round
i can see a lot of the haters in the commets i think most of them forget that the first counter is extremly effective and ive done it in fights rocking my opponent and never being caught with a counter but the key word to doing that is "timing", this kind of counter should only be use in special situations or when you can really feel the punch wich comes with experience
Great coach.
can u slip to your left and come up with a over right hook? the thing about smacking the punch with the glove is you could get caught doing it. Abner Mares vs Johnny Gonzalez
Definitely a thumbs up
When they name the video “best counter punching video ” that’s when u know u found the shit!
this guy is a good teacher
What about the catch and shoot?....good vid though👍
Other guy is already saying it, but I just love how this guy says you steal the guy's turn to counter.
Very easy to understand.
Marquez throws his shots specifically when others start
Juan Blanci
Yeah, so does majority of counter punchers.
ofcourse thats why its called counter punching lol
3J02N
I'm saying why I like how he "describes" counter punching.
lol 6:36 unless u are GGG
Great tips nice that you did do basics 😀💪
He is a very good trainer!!!!
Great drill
I wish I had an good instructor like this near where I live.
great application
nice one cheers for this video
what if my opponent throw a combination when I'm slipping
You are supposed to slip a punch moving towards your opponents body so
that you aren't in range for the next shot, that would be "pulling back"
which is a big no no. You are slipping a straight punch putting
yourself in close range to land an uppercut or hook
This was good thanks coach

The best defense is a good offense. But the opposite is also true: the best offense is a good defense.
this guy is a good trainer

One of Tyson's best abilities was out timing his opponents.
well tyson was the master of slipping and countering.
Intro song??
Hey Elli ... can you ask Brandon how to deal with bruise?
thank you DeathDevice1212 for your answer, but I didn't understend what you mean. I am from non english speaking country.
bruises? Bruh if you're worried about bruises maybe boxing isn't for you
if u listen to this coach ..u will never going ur boxing match...
this dude must be an MMA or martial arts dude. slipping to the inside? counter a jab with a cross? LMAO
If you use lead hand to block the jab while you counter aren't you exposed to the opponents right hand?
does this guy ever put his shirt on?
where does this guy teach?
Justin tarazana California, outlaw boxing gym. Really cool guy
Elie Sackballs
I like boxing now
Find and dandy until he throws a lead left hook ...trying to come over a lead left hook because you are timing his jab, you are going to eat an elbow or the hook. Slipping a jab is more effective IMO

6:30 😭😭😭
This is all known about in good wing chun, you may laugh but it is true..
Juan Manuel Marquez seems to use the 1st and 2nd countering time but not the 3rd
Shouldn't you slip on the outside of the punch instead of inside the punch?
Avocado you can do both.
"Timing beats speed, precision beats power" Mcgregor
He didn't come up with that phrase.

And khabib beats him
10:19 listen
Coach Anthony said the same thing
They work... You can slip either way it's hard to counter
Enjoyed the video but the counter at 9:12 is not a good idea. Got both hands wrapped up and you're waiting for the opponents right hand to put you on your ass
its simple, its about setting up your opponent go watch some counter punchers.

Timothy Rowan I actually think older people will learn quicker because so many kids are uncoordinated, everyone is different
nice but watch he dont left hook your chin wi that over extended body shot
Imma slip and eat that right rip
this could be the worse bullshit I have ever seen
Wish the guys in the background would shut up just for a minute...
Go inside use your cross to counter? Never gonna counter unless face southpaw my friend
隋正刚 it does work with the right angle
Kids are like a sponches
nice but in real fight it's hard to apply
Leirbag Nor that's why you drill.

Boxing is the easiest sport alive.. He's right about the timing that can offset your opponent moves make them hesitate to throw a jab.
Scooby Doo what level have you competed at?
