Halfway1023 who are those people? it’s the sweet science, ppl definitely consider it a martial art. It is, especially off of the pure definition of it. Lol 🤷♂️
Halfway who are these people your talking about🤨. Boxing is the quickest and most efficient way to end a street fight, compeard to other martial arts🤔?
British American boxing isn't Chinese Martial Arts or karate. But boxing and its cousin kickboxing ARE MARTIAL ARTS. Look at the programming-- both fall under sports and fitness.
Boxing skill is more valuable in a real life fight or in any combat sport because its been practiced & perfected for hundreds of years. you cant tell me a prime mike tyson didn't have a good chance at beating anyone ever in a fight no matter what style of hand to hand combat they used
+Elliott Garcia - and B.H. giving this FREE training/advice on YT (TH-cam). Bernard H the Oldest World Champion in Boxing at 49 - was also a W.C. at 48.
BHop is a great teacher. If you're a fighter you should watch this until you completely understand every word BHop is saying, especially the 6:36 mark.
Once it becomes a natural reaction it can hurt u as well u want to learn how to control and gauge at times countering can be a risk sometimes u just have to catch the shot knowing when to shoot after the catch is key don't get the idea that "oh everytime I catch I gotta shoot" like its a rule or something pick your shots always remember that
Great wisdom & knowledge from the master Bernard Hopkins! But it wasn't the Roman's or Ceasar who created the defensive art of war,it was none other than " SHAKA ZULU" himself????SHAKA.
Man dis guy here.....there are many people that TALK boxing but it's just the way B-Hop breaks dis ish down, masters can tell you how to do something, makes a mf feel dumb how easily he simplifies it😅😅😅
he talked about blocking and then throwing jab but never demonstrated it. I'm assuming he would have blocked the jab with right hand (parry) then threw jab? or block with left hand and over top of opponents Jab? suppose we will never know unless he makes another video! anyways a master at work! legend!
Bernard hopkins is one of the best fighters in his weight division in history. I'd put him right up there with roy jones , james toney , Hearns , hagler , sugar, and the others top tiers guys
1:47 I thought using an opponent's *momentum* against them...was grabbing their movement and speed. But blocking the opponents jab nullifies that movement and speed, right? So countering with your own hit afterwards, by using the force of your own movement, originates from something else *other than* the opponent's momentum (it originates from you)...correct? No wait I got it. The opponent is putting in his/her own force but they're setting themselves up for a hook anyway. Even though their jab is being blocked, they've set themselves up, and that's their motion/momentum being used against them...right?
What kind of block is that called? I remember when I first went boxing, that was the natural instinct block I used to do but my coaches stop me using that.
It wasn't, gotta give kovalev props, didn't expect him school hopkins like that. Although, you gotta give hopkins props for going 12 rounds with kovalev at 50. Most people hadn't even went the distance with him. One of the craftiest smartest fighters ever.
SPRINGS02 I thought B-Hop should have been 4 to 1 underdog and bet good money on Kovalev. Outboxing Hopkins was unexpected though. Props to them both...50 is crazy to be a top fighter...
saintcruzin Hopkins uses ring experience to lul fighters into his game which is a slower pace and to keep them thinking and reacting instead of being proactive. If you can stay busy while being smart then you have a better chance of beating him. Prime B-Hop and Kovalev goes down differently.
Adonai Zedek A prime B-Hop is a totally different fight with Kovalev. Hopkins is just plain amazing to just be fighting the best at 50....amazing. These other fighters that have abused their bodies can't comeback....Oscar to you hear me???
Oscar still has the ability to beat alot of fighters with a couple tune ups and a years worth of work. He thinks GGG would be a walk in the park until he receives one of those body shots and get walked thru..like wet tissue paper
I don't have as much an issue doing these against a guy with a shorter reach, but when it's longer I just can't get many shots to land even when I dodge or block.
hdugtk aodjgkf step in with the block is good, if they’re fighting with reach too their hooks aren’t gonna be super duper tight so he’ll be able to come in with the block like you said. Good advice
+mhks68 There's a reason you can watch videos like this on youtube. Good luck finding free knowledge from a master that doesn't involve a bit of advertisement.
from 4:57 - 5:07 he is saying to use that lead arm as a shield, keep it at 90 degrees to block and at the same time sneak in punches. He is saying that the opponent might throw a lot of punches while he is in this position and the crowd will go wild thinking that the opponent is landing, meanwhile in that position it's Hopkins who is blocking and sneaking in punches. at 7:14 he is saying that a good fighter has to constantly find ways to make progress, they must have a plan B or plan C. that a lot of good fighters can get stuck in their ways, or can't figure out how to beat an opponent if they don't know what to adjust to. In other words if a fighter doesn't know what to adapt to, or what the solution is to solve an opponent then nothing he do will work. Think of any fighter that wins with a certain style but cannot adapt to a new style if the first way isn't working.
Wtf lmao you use your forearm as a shield?! Thats not the phili shell. You only block with your lead forearm if its a over hand right just like how Anthony Yard does it. Mayweather on the other hand just ducks under the over hand right. He also uses his lead forearm during clenches to control and keeping distance. 🙄🙄
Im bad about fighting through every punch, steadily trying to counter seems he slips and only counters with short *guarantees* not powerful but discouraging imma take a page out of his book ...stay sharp brothers
People don't consider boxing a martial art but the way BHop breaks it down makes it look just like that. The dude is a grandmaster.
Halfway1023 who are those people? it’s the sweet science, ppl definitely consider it a martial art. It is, especially off of the pure definition of it. Lol 🤷♂️

@@j-rox8551 facts
Bernard should most definitely train fighters after he retires. There's alot of passion and knowledge right there.
TboneNYC10 He trains fighters right now. Not full time but he disseminates his knowledge while being an active fighter.
+TboneNYC10 Hell yea.. I'd love to see this guy take a prospect and just pour knowledge into em.
I'd like to see that. also some other fighters, like Mike Tyson
Facts
@@musicmanvin1326 ikr
Bernard is definitely a boxing technician.
+Elliott Garcia - and B.H. giving this FREE training/advice on YT (TH-cam). Bernard H the Oldest World Champion in Boxing at 49 - was also a W.C. at 48.
I like that shield analogy. I like teachers like him. He makes it easy to understand.
his sound effects with the sword is hilarious
BHop is a great teacher. If you're a fighter you should watch this until you completely understand every word BHop is saying, especially the 6:36 mark.
When he demonstrates the counters it reminds me of fight night lol. He is a true technician, one of the best defensive fighters ever.
best blocking video I've ever seen, and I've been practicing and watching martial art videos for years..
Left hook counters for a right cross, right uppercut then left jab from a blocked liver shot, the rest is defense and timing
Walking encyclopedia of boxing. Much respect!
We're blessed to have videos of these legends of our species. The Ring is the tippity top of boxing media 👊
Almost NO ONE does the shift anymore...what a living legend!
Once it becomes a natural reaction it can hurt u as well u want to learn how to control and gauge at times countering can be a risk sometimes u just have to catch the shot knowing when to shoot after the catch is key don't get the idea that "oh everytime I catch I gotta shoot" like its a rule or something pick your shots always remember that
Facts because it becomes automatic they going to start looking for the counter

Nice sir
i love it, but i have never seen him really do those move in a fight.
Lol u must not watch too many of his fights
my fav fighter. tell what what have you seen him do it in
I've seen him do them many times. I've used those moves myself. they weren't just invented. I've knocked guys out with the blocks he just showed.
good ~ thank you ^^
2.05 haha crazy Hopkinz.
fuxk thats awsome im gona try that next sesh
6:47
The way he says: "that's a praablem" makes me die... it seems the saddest thing in the world that can happen 🤣
good shit
i wanna here from the Lights Out nextime
He was halfway through speaking and camera guys like stage 4 block and counter
Love B hop
He looks like Voldemort in the thumbnail
Bernard is special like Tyson and ali no dought good 4 him
This is asmr for me

Ok. But I wasn't trying to be, I was trying to ask what the correct technical words were without sounding too much like a dick.
What kind of block is that called? I remember when I first went boxing, that was the natural instinct block I used to do but my coaches stop me using that.
Some people call it leverage guard or a wedge
We call it a bridge block
Boxing's highest IQ, but is it enough against the young lion Kovalev?? B-Hop is amazing at 50....
It wasn't, gotta give kovalev props, didn't expect him school hopkins like that. Although, you gotta give hopkins props for going 12 rounds with kovalev at 50. Most people hadn't even went the distance with him. One of the craftiest smartest fighters ever.

I don't have as much an issue doing these against a guy with a shorter reach, but when it's longer I just can't get many shots to land even when I dodge or block.
then you wanna step in with your block. Or already have your foot close enough to land. be sure to step in and not lunge in.
Step in and get under the jab for body shots and over hands
hdugtk aodjgkf step in with the block is good, if they’re fighting with reach too their hooks aren’t gonna be super duper tight so he’ll be able to come in with the block like you said. Good advice
Slip the jab and then you'll be able to see all the other punches

what's he saying at 04;57- 05;07???
and from 07;14 till the end of the vid ??? please help :)

Kovalev left Hook tho.. will be a problem, could create a hole to expand that stright right hand to that old stomatch
I didn't know dave chapelle boxed
You must not know shit about boxing then
🇺🇸🤝💪
He's one of the few good at techniques like Freddie Roach is
Amazing
I'm right handed but I fight left handed. I just like it. Just feels more comfortable don't know why.
must be because you have stronger jabs and you feel like you can control it better
Train both stances with footwork drills
This would be perfect for a southpaw
+spectaclez Against a jab it would be terrible, it would leave you way open.
+Leon Dawson oh sht probably was high when wrote this
