    High guard also forces the opponent to throw hooks wich you can use in your favor , getting close and expecting a hook can get you to slip at the right time and counter ...

    I only see pros in high guard if performed correctly it is the best defense guard and when both hands are the same height the oppoent can't predict which hand is coming at them first Ricardo El Finito Lopez uses it and he never even broke his nose never lost a fight and he is one of the best ever

      People be talking just about defense. But nobody mentions how can you throw your jabs without any telegraphing cause no shoulder movement, you just straighten your elbow using tricep muscle. It is so good for bulkier shorter guys. On a distance you are nicely covered while firing those jabs until you make to the close distance and fire nasty combinations

    A great example of an effective high guard was Michael Watson vs Nigel Benn. Benn exhausted himself flailing away at Watson's high guard. Watson kept cool, picked Benn off and eventually stopped him with a jab.

    • @juliansanderson839
      @juliansanderson839 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well, the opportunity is still there, you just need to be less reliant on RRJ/Ali counters - where you use vision and hand speed to beat them to the punch - and more reliant on more conservative methods. The high guard is excellent for catch counters, where you block/catch a punch, wait for the impact on your guard, and throw the shot. A lot of boxers have made careers off that alone.
      Or if you gain enough experience, you’ll learn to read the signs of a punch coming from body language, shoulder movement, and pattern recognition.

    Joshua Clottey also used an effective high guard. Some other cons are not being able to visually pick up opponents that move laterally to either side. That falls with the vision being obstructed con of not being able to pick up hooks or looping punches not coming down the middle. The high guard can also be pot shotted from angles that expose openings that otherwise would not be open while standing directly in front. Strong opponents can split high guards with uppercuts and shovel hooks to the stomach. They may be partially blocked but they still do damage.

  • @AbeLoveSoju
    @AbeLoveSoju 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This peekaboo method is best when your closing range so you could then punch. Especially with this I feel like you must have great reflex training, and footwork to truly master that high guard so it doesn’t become a crutch for the fighter.

    Another good one, boxed with a high guard during my last fight and defended well but found it hard to work an effective offence from, didn't take much damage but lost by decision. Think it could work well as part of wider strategy but on its own found it quite limiting.

  • @416blackmamba
    @416blackmamba ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the best use of the high guard, as with any technique, is to mix it up. Head movement, parries, catch and shoot counters, and constantly shifting your guard (for better vision) will make this guard more effective. Also I found having your palms facing your opponent makes the high guard more dynamic and gives you better hand speed.

    • @tonypaella
      @tonypaella 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I use palms forward too, unless I'm really bracing for impact. But palms forward allow for parries, traps, frames, traffic, hand blocks etc.

  • @OffGridMadMan

  • @saintoflastresorts2272
    @saintoflastresorts2272 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the pro side fighters like Winky Wright would use head movement and parry with the high guard and Floyd would use the pull counter off the high guard. If your a high volume puncher you just want the first punch to touch the opponent to paralyze him then let the combination do the damage. Also blocking hooks isnt as bad since the shoulder has to rise for the hook and your hands are closer to your head with the high guard. Manny Paquiao also uses the high guard moving laterally and has attacked from it. The issue with the high guard is similar to the cross arm in that the boxer has to be creative in using his defense to create offense. Normally this means footwork and deception. No guard is optimal in every situation. Normally boxers use two guards.

    • @motomanos1
      @motomanos1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      One more con is that when you play high guard you re always on a passive position leading the other fighter to be more aggressive. That gives the game superiority to him, increases the chances you ll get hit and increases his confidence

    Tony, with the high guard. Your opponent can also move you. They can jab the side of the hand making you feel as though you need to move to your side because you can't see what's happening like you said which is confusing and potentially their danger hand is coming straight through the middle of that high guard.
    I feel the guard being too high takes away a fighters natural relaxed state which, as you know, is the best way to be. Nice and relaxed

If i'm being pressed by someone who is faster and fitter (most people are cos i'm a big fella) it's a good defence and has saved my ass a few times as it gives me a few seconds to take stock and think about what i need to do next.

    Not withstanding my respect for your expertise and experience. I’ve chosen the high guard (about 6-7 years now) after using two other forms(chin and eye level. I can say a lot about it. “Rattle in mi brain”. See: ( 3:07- 3:08 ) is the worst lol . High Guard is reminiscent of swordsmanship in Japan to me; so I agree and appreciate, love, and look forward to your greatness displayed. I observe using legs is important in putting it all together in the ring.

    I've had great success with the high guard. I always time the jab with a right cross or a left hook. Or i would walk them down with a tyson like head movement. I had stopped a few opponent with this style.

      With this style you need to press the action and not be at long range. Try to get in on the inside.

    The high guard when used as part of a peek a boo style of boxing can be used with head movement also? Like Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres. Didn’t they use the high guard effectively combined with head movement as part of the defence so as to use it as a counter punching style, elusive aggression as Cus Dmato used too say. Thanks for the video. 👍🥊🇦🇺
