Joe Frazier does this too, when he bobs and weave and ducks and comes up with a left hook to counter. It is also compatible with the Philly Shell guard, as the hand positions overlap in similar postures.
I used to try to philly shell because I was a big Roy Jones and James Toney fan and use that slickster style then I realized I was fat and white. but I think someone who is more robust and shorter like myself can use the cross armed, mummy type defense with elements of the shell and the wing chun wing block (high elbow guard) it can be pretty effective. Look at David Tua.
Problem with cross armed defense in my opinion is that it limits the punches you can throw back so you’ll get bullied for not posing threat if you use it for extended amount of time So yeah you should definitely combine it with other types of defense like how foreman does it with long guard and high guard
@@Sam-ht4og Good defence is as dynamic and varied as any good offence. The cross armed guard should be nothing more than another tool in a well kitted bag.
Great work on this video brother. Ive used the cross armed defense since i was a kid, most people see it and dont understand what im doing, but i can honestly say uts never failed me in a boxing match
I see this often compared to the philly shell and I can see why. This defense is really practical if you know how to block. You can hold your hands diagonally or horizontal. You can basically block all hits to the head when you use it horizontally, only leaving the body open. If you use it diagonally, you can block most punches to the head and body leaving only one side of your head open and the opposite side of your body open, but if you train your reflexes well enough to raise your elbow to block that side of your face and lower your other elbow to block that side of the body, you may be able to develop an incredible defense similar to the slipping one can do in the philly shell. Awesome video my man!
Archie Moore did not invent the cross guard but he sure made it famous. There are drawings and photographs of it from way before Moore's day and he said he learned it from a Trainer Hiawatha Grey. Dempsey even used it a few times against Sharkey. Daniel Mendoza explains it and says it's "the most scientific" and his favorite defense in his book from the 1700's. I imagine it predates him as well.
Bro,..z nobody is even in the same galaxy as you when it comes to these boxing vids,..thank you for taking the time to make such excellent work ..I enjoy them all thoroughly
Great video! Archie Moore is my favorite; very intelligent, great defense and great knockout power. And notice how much longevity and good health some of these fighters had, using this great defensive style; George and Archie had the two longest successful boxing careers in history, before Bernard Hopkins. George Forman doesn't even seem like he's boxed before, and Archie Moore was very articulate, and a dynamic orator and speaker well into his 70s and 80s. Boxing is a science, violent, but a violent science none the less; learn to fight, and you'll save your brain and be able to enjoy this wonderful sport for a long time. Thank you for this video!
+Marco Cano what works for you man, I haven't seen many boxers use it really, the only ones I've seen use it not in this video are Cotto and Fraizer and even they rarely use it.
These rare videos show the defensive strengths of the Cross Armed guard, and reveal that is is so practical and effective even against the best fighters in history. When combined with rolling and parrying, I find it to be a smarter stronger style. But, the real advantages are MUCH more obvious when you learn how to use this style WITHOUT GLOVES for MMA and self defense. I suspect the technique's real origin is bare knuckle and close range fighting. Once you take off the gloves, you can't hide behind your fists like modern fighters do. Large padded gloves work great in the ring, but for MMA and self defense, standard guards leave too many gaps. Long live the Cross Armed Guard, or as it used to be known, The Safety Block.
Mark Tennenhouse It actually is an old school, pugilistic boxing style. Most boxers that used it were trained by old schooler's...who adapted it for 'sports' boxing. I believe, with the advent of bareknuckle boxing, the inadequacies of boxing, especially with gloves, will be exposed and a resurgence of the old school styles will be seen.
The standard guard works in bare knuckle and mma. You just have to use your forearms to do the blocking instead of your hands to replicate the size and cushioning of your gloves. downside is that leaves your ribs exposed to body shots.
Anderson Dilva vs Isreal Adesanya. Silva used the bee swatting crosses arm my thai range finding technique you ste trying to find it. It is with Silva. Only man in UFC to utilize all those guess Mcgregor called it bee swatting technique beautiful.
Great concept to cover for a video. Was very effective. I don't believe it is really used at all today. More shoulder roll used for the fighters nowadays ...
The top arm does the shielding, the bottom arm does the hitting- in order to make this workable you’re gonna need to develop a hook. Of the upmost importance weight on the back leg and pull the left shoulder back.
I think it's especially useful in a bareknuckle fight. Imagine a bare knuckle coming your way and you block it with your elbow/forearm. The hand would break first. Granting you a victory without landing a punch
David Tua was also a fighter who used the crossed arm guard it’s Funny cause people always say Tua and Tyson had a similar style but if you really look at Tua style you see they are not the same at all, Tua has the off center line old school cross guard stance
Rajni Kanth smoking Joe people don't give him a lot of credit people say Tyson would ko him in 1 round. People should watch all of his fights. Joe was hard to hit and get better in the later rounds,and when he got knocked down he got up .
Do you have any fighter in particular that you'd like me to highlight? So far I've done Ken Norton, Gene Fullmer, George Foreman and Archie Moore's cross-armed defense.
@@hanzagod Thanks for the answer. I'd like to see Frazier's guard, then maybe Witherspoon and Holyfield. Also in the comments people suggested other names like Berbick. But I'd love to see more of this defense from the boxers you cited.
@@hanzagodPLEASE do a video on Fullmers overhand right/right cross. I’m obsessed with trying to learn it. Especially the one he would bring down on top of his opponents heads… thanks,
This and The X cross guard with the left hand over right temple and the right over left temple while using the elbows to block liver, kidney, solar plexus, and the rare throat shot. But that last one helps by keeping the chin tucked as tight as possible anyways. But my base has always been Peekaboo, Dutch/ Highguard, and Philly shell to give some lower defense.. Can take gut shots all day but I can't withstand more then two liver punches in a short duration.
Yess I like the way Norton used it. If you combined that with head movement like Toney. And a high guard like Winky Wright for backup. You got some hard solid layers of defense
@@lusianojwkwknan6640 haha in the end, I didn't have the guts to continue to take punches. The cross guard is a very hard style to master and I did try it for a bit but its more of a technique for a specific person. For example joe frazier and etc. A person who is willing to stand there and bang punches. But It did help me to discover that im a forward pressure fighter.
Position the lead hand on the body, like Philly Shell, swipe at punches to the body to misdirect them or simply absorb them with glove/forearm. Alternatively crouch to reduce the surface area of your body, rasing the lead arm horizontally to further reinforce protection from the rear arm.
when I competed I combined the high guard and cross-arm with some slickness man I swear I barely ever got hit. I use to spend hours of sparring just working on defense and angles. But I lost a lot of fights too being too defensive.
People say it doesn’t exist nowadays but that’s just not true. It’s evolved into the philly shell that I’d say most prospects outside the heavyweights use. That stance with the lead hand firmly under the rear is very modern boxing.
Cletus Seldin aka the "Hebrew Hammer" beat Roberto Ortiz bloody late last year while using this guard. He's the reason I looked into it. Seldin is a crude slugger though so he lost his most recent match by decision to Yvess Ulysse who is a pure boxer and didn't allow Seldin to touch him.
I would count the Philly Shell as most similar to this, as it goes. Philly shell seems based on this and then tweaked like right hand positioned at the side of the head, and more side on stance. But basically I find them very similar. This one seems more similar to a high guard approach, based on trying to use it to advance forward on the opponent, pressure fight, and cut the ring off. The Philly Shell seems to employ different tactics based around a different mindset. Mind you, I say Philly Shell, I'm a bit old fashioned. To me the Philly Shell is just a cross arm block basically but just a slight variation of it. The more side-on stance enables counter punching better, I would have thought. But it's not as easy to launch an offense from. Best shell user ever was actually in a way, James Toney in his prime, to me anyway. . Absolutely old school. Mayweather would be a close second IMHO. Not meaning to take anything away from Mayweather, of course. Best cross armed block-ist was Norton, for my tastes.
***** Yeah but most kids in amature are by the books boxers and throw straight punches or are agressive because they wanna be like tyson or wilder. Thats just my experience though not but one boxer played the technician and forced me to change up into stonewall and high guard.
+2012DVSONE What about them mate? You want me to make a video on them? Possibly sometime in the future, got a few other ideas planned out for my defense highlights.
+haNZAgod there are some many was to defend in boxing each style has its pros and cons I was hoping you would make a parrying defense video to me some of these boxers that keep the hands in front of them and parry is like batting down 100 mile and hour baseball pitches amazing stuff the only problem with parrying is when your opponent fakes and goes around with the same hand like floyed knocked down Marquez with he faked a jab Marquez went to parry and floyed turned into a short left hook.
To stop a parrying boxer advance with combos to the head and body, you throw one shot like broner or 1-2s you going get parried ans parried countered. Got to THROW combos like a young Floyd, Erroll Spence Jr., Garry Russell amd a Canelo Alvarez. Fast and strong.
Ahh. The crab defense. Not the most effective technique but a few fighters somewhat mastered it. Most notably Archie Moore and George Foreman during his comeback years.
In a street fight you better not even have to block, the fight can't last too long, hit him first if he's the one messing with you, but a good defense in street fight is always controlling the distance, boxing gloves are big so it gives you extra protection, barefists aren't, so control the distance and if you have to block something you better slip or lean back it's more safe, but again, control the distance and if it's needed hit him first
This is why I love foreman. He loved using those old, forgotten early boxing techniques
The One both careers he did
In his time these techniques weren’t forgotten at all
it wasnt forgotten its just not often used, a cross armed gaurd is defensively effective but it takes away your ability to counter.
@@mastersta5267 yep,but moore really good at it
Mainly after his comeback with Archie moore
The cross guard is super underrated and super effective when used correctly. I want to do this.
Joe Frazier does this too, when he bobs and weave and ducks and comes up with a left hook to counter.
It is also compatible with the Philly Shell guard, as the hand positions overlap in similar postures.

Love the cross arm defence
love the jazz mix as well
i love cross-armed, I do not understand how it is not the most used style. Logically I think it's the best defense
Boxers nowadays neglect their history
Tim Witherspoon had a nice cross arm defence
Great defense highlight. Cross arm is pretty much an extinct style nowadays
Derrick Chisora does it sometimes. Problem is it leaves your body exposed
cotto used it against canelo
+Buddy Boy12 yeah it's good at protecting against straight punches but leaves you open to uppercuts and body punches

This guard works beautifully in Muay Thai. The accessibility to elbows, the frames for setting up hard strikes. It’s such a profound guard.
Great concept to cover for a video. Was very effective. I don't believe it is really used at all today. More shoulder roll used for the fighters nowadays ...
Chuck Finley It peeked my curiosity since Cotto's last fight using this technique.
Norton used it well, even able to counter pretty quickly off it
The music in these videos is really good.
Norton and foreman cross armed skill was very amazing over the decades
Big George only really developed his after his comeback. He didn't really need it before, he just walked through most opponents, until Ali.

yes, Peak a boo and Cross arm defense are both extremely useful techniques in a street fight.
Exactly , with cross arm also every guy can win a bare knuckle athlet
I got the shoulder roll down decently but I really want to learn the cross guard, it just has an old school vintage look to it that looks bad ass
Awsome thanks, Archie Moore best!
Fullmer seemed to use an inverted version of the cross guard, interesting

Sean Strickland uses it in MMA off his shell. So slick and underutilized

as a boxer that has a ambidextrous style it helps to be able to switch from standard, philly, cross and other variations like the mumy/thai stance.

Archie mixed his cross arm defence with a lot of bobbing and weaving setting himself up for counters.
