You got it wrong. This is applicable only to stupid and inperfect boxer. If the opponent knows that you are retreating you eill get horrible surprise and lose the game. If it is stupid like Manny Paqua you stand chance like May Whether. But perfect boxers are not stupid like Paqua.
Get your Cuban loving ass outta here. Didn't know Cuba was big on boxing? Who's from Cuba with a wbo title belt? Or any belt? Exactly shut that shit up.
you are a national treasure... so technical and the detailed way you explain everything.. is invaluable to those of us who dont have the benefit of a coach to watch us every day.
Im an filipino ma practitioner and spar regularly. fran's advice and tips is gold for striking, even with sticks. Mainly his footwork wisdom works very well with stick fighting.
Funny enough I've trained in the Cuban style of boxing and arnis, the footwork is uncannily similar in both systems. I definitely believe their most be some commonalities that are based on the original Spanish system of destreza. Either way, I find FMA beautiful.
This ONE video taught MORE than MANY people could teach in months of "classes". I'm a Martial Practitioner aiming to better my "Floating Hand work" and this will definitely hook me up something SOLID. 💯💯💯
Great drills mate! I really like the transition from the orthodox stance to southpaw. I've been doing BJJ for 8 years now but boxing has become one of my favorite hobbies outside of training on the mat. I can easily grapple and roll for six 7 minute rounds during class but when it comes to sparring in the ring I start getting winded by the second round and start getting my ass handed to me but I absolutely love it! Thank you for taking the time to produce this video and share this knowledge. Best regards from Houston, Texas.
I am a grandmaster of Kali and Silat and I love this guy! With weapons you learn all about moving around and working angles. I did contact fighting for 2 years in JKD before I started Kali and Silat. That's what got me in with the teacher. It is a family art and I was made extended family. I have brothers and uncles. I just call myself a black belt if anyone asks. Peace. Hippy Mike.
I've been looking for examples of the Kali false lead in boxing, where you step forward on the triangle, outflanking and creating a new line, then pivot step through and rush it. Haven't really found any. Closest I've seen is Lomachenko and McGregor in his bout with Mayweather. Loma's a natural orthodox who fights southpaw and his favorite tactic is stepping his lead right foot outside his orthodox opponents lead left, out flanking them and simultaneously turning his stance orthodox. McGregor was getting completely behind Mayweather in same fashion, even more Kali style, seemingly at will, but really didn't do anything with it. Marvin Hagler also did something close as he could switch stances fluidly, gaining hidden angles.
The only part I like about MMA is BJJ. Everything else looks like brutes trapped in kicking and punching range by the rules. I have been into BJJ for 10 years. I study Tai Chi and Bagua.
@Victor Mace Yes they did. Another example I didn't mention, but in MMA, is Dominic Cruz. He used false lead style footwork. He would actually step toward the power hand while checking it, then turn in.
You fall back and move forward to catch your opponent off balance ala robinson , ali , mayweather etc , generally employed against aggressive boxers like tyson and frazier etc , some fighters cant box backwards and purely heel toe fighters , duran as great as he was couldnt fight going backwards !
Thank you very much Fran for taking the time to make this. Thanks to your clear explanation, I’m successfully putting these moves into my sparring. I really appreciate your help.
Fran I'm a new trainer helping out, thanks for the videos. I had 6 fights 4-2 and boxed for 13yrs on and off with injuries. You're videos are very helpful to catch up on the basics. I'm basically teaching footwork, the jab and cross since that's what I was known for, but didn't realize how much work it is teaching children and adults basic footwork. Yet 5 days a week I'm busting my ass off getting better, I plan on watching every video. Thank you, God bless.
Well done for giving back, it's a great credit to you. Time will help. It took me 2 years to stop being a boxer and become a coach, and I continue to learn until this day and hope to keep learning until they lower me into the ground! The key is to keep working with boxers (young and old), improving them, helping them and inspiring them. Keep it going buddy ;-)
Loads of footwork vids on here and this is without a doubt the best one I've seen! Just got back into boxing after 20 years and this video is inspiring. Nice one! 👍
Basically use the Floyd's technique, defense then bang. Great stuff Coach, anyone interested, please see Mayweather vs Marquez, he used that technique for 12 rounds.
The Tyson move is known as the D'Amato Shift :D :D I'm sure it's been around before D'Amato, but it was used extensively by D'Amato in training his fighters. He actually used a lot of "unorthodox" and sometimes even "outdated" methods that actually worked really well with his fighters.
I dig all of your vids! Especially, I dig this topic. One of my favorite deceptive move is to draw a pressure fighter forward by feigning a withdrawal. In the pocket, my front foot takes a full step back reversing my stance. (Yes, this is a straight line retreat but I do this rarely.) Then launch a straight jab with a bounce off my back foot...(then any apt combos or side steps.)
your material and yourself as a teacher are so incredibly good. I cannot wait to try this out but need to figure out the lengths of those pieces of tape first.
Dear Mr. Sands, congratulation on having introduced the rearward angular retreat, but when moving forward just the extension of ther rear "V" forward to form an "X, would help realize the chances especially against a taller opponent. Best regards.Paul, 66, retred instructor of Karate.
Pablo Cid Let the coach do his thing Bruh, he teaching on multiple levels! I have experience but I listened to the whole thing because you should NEVER feel like you have outgrown the fundamentals! Asked Dante Wilder, I think he could tell you a thing or 2 about that!😂
Sir your channel is a blessing Do you have the measurements for those lines that are often in your video. Best boxing channel I've seen. So much noise nowadays. Your's is a breath of fresh air.
thanks man. gonna try it. sounds very boring to do that for 9 minutes straight, but since your roadwork advice payed of already (except I got shinsplints cause I pushed it too far lol), im gonna try this. looks like a good exercise.
You're welcome, glad you like it. There is a playlist of drills on my channel page, have a little look at that. Good idea though, will think about doing some more vids of this type...there's lots of them :-)
Mayweather's whole philosophy right there "retreat to attack". Can't understand why he gets so much flak. Maybe it's because he brags about money but his boxing ability is miles ahead of anyone else

Dont apologize ever again, the guys who are interedted need every little thing that comes to your mind thank you so much!!!!
No we don't you do..,because you don't have one of your own
@@blvxkgxldimperialinc that seemed unnecessary
hell yeah its the little things that are gems and diamonds
Fran Sands is the man. He knows his stuff. love how technical he is. Thanks Fran
Thank you so much pal, really nice compliment
This is how you win fights, Cuban style, with your feet. This teaches you to true art of boxing. Hit without being hit
Patrick Strong that's how fights are won everyone thinks about punch teqnique that sometimes they forget about feet work and head movement it's harder to hit a moving t
Patrick Strong I do agree with you
If somebody invented this outside cuba before they did boxing is it call cuban style still?

Most filipinos know basketball. Basketball players mostly point guard are very agile so transitioning from playing ball to boxing is an easy step

That's really kind, thanks

Angles, angles, angles. Love it. Thank you.
Love this channel. He probably don't know how many drills of his I practice on a daily basis. And they help massively
Your scientific approach to training is excellent. Thanks for all you do.

Some great powerful footwork over there, I love it
All I searched was “boxing retreat techniques” and this was the first to show up. Trust me, I really needed this. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful👍
0:31 >domination is not about moving forward
you just broke the hearts of millions potato head casuals.
Haha. Knowledge inside the game
True, but top fighters who go forward - Golovkins and Lamottas - tend to be very exciting to watch and easy to like.
You fall back and move forward to catch your opponent off balance ala robinson , ali , mayweather etc , generally employed against aggressive boxers like tyson and frazier etc , some fighters cant box backwards and purely heel toe fighters , duran as great as he was couldnt fight going backwards !
How hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
