Such a great explanation of a technique. So many greats are great but poor teachers because they can't exploit the importance and reason for doing something
@@goldtiger9453 Nah. He's just saying you can't really mimic a Tyson, a Roy Jones, a Foreman. The "techniques" they used are pretty specific to them. I'm sure others could emulate, but you have to understand these fighters fought specifically to their talents. So if you don't have the same talents, mimicking the style is kinda sub-optimal. unorthodox fighters figure out what their talents are, then build their style around that.
@@bobross3880 i don't believe thts true , people just don't know how to teach , cusdamoto made multiple champions off the peekaboo style , Lary Holmes mimicked ali's style pretty well. if people could be taught complicated 20 step dance moves why can't they be taught unique fighting styles? Boxing is the one fighting style tht isn't taught like all the other combat arts. I'm from nyc in the well known muay thai, bjj ,karate ,wrestling schools there's alot of talking involved. But in boxing gyms most of the things you learn is taught by sparring. This mentality is limiting the art. in all other combat sports when a unique form of bjj or karate or wrestling is created people preserve it and pass the knowledge down. But in boxing we just let these styles die. The closest thing we have as a boxing style thts taught like a martial art is cuban boxing
I'm merely an amateur boxer so I'm not invalidating anyone in this video, especially Roy Jones, but I think both of them are right depending on the situation. When you are escaping from a boxer who likes to stay low, you will benefit from leaving your hands out. It forces the opponent to throw punches from under, which means that most of them will land on your shoulders. When you are escaping from a boxer who likes to stand tall and is not necessarily barging in on you (and is actually taller than you), you will benefit from guarding instead. Leaving your hands out makes you more vulnerable because he will throw hooks from over. As a matter of fact, Roy himself has utilized both techniques in his fights.
Growing up RJJ was my fucking idol, had posters, shirts even used his colors in my amateur days. It's a shame we had such different styles, my feet and hands were too heavy to move around like him but during training I'd imitate him in my own clunky way. Almost spent the 10k to watch him fight Tyson but settled for buying the ppv. He's the king.
Great video Great boxer Great athlete Great training Great channel Great content Great athlete Great motivation and inspiration keep doing what your doing and I Will always support you
this guy was incredible, for me, the best ever, I´d have paid ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY to see a fight between mayweather and Roy Jones junior. MY MONEY WOULD´VE BEEN ON ROY OF COURSE!!!
@@leeroyjenkins6061 If Mayweather fought Connor Mcgregor and Jake Paul, he could've anyone. I'm not so sure now Roy would've won...mayweather is a hell of a fighter, if anyone could stand up against Roy Jones, that's Floy Mayweather jr. What a fight it would have been!!!!!!
@@ivancorts6966 they are both like the penacle of the best. Roy was unbeatable in prime he had no equal, and floyds boxing IQ and defensive abilities were second to none. Roy beat james toney flawlessly who was also a defensive master but not quite a floyd mayweather. In my honest opinion if anyone was to beat floyd it would have been roy jones jr and if roy jones jr in his prime was to ever lose it would have been to floyd.
Guys Roy Jones won a heavy weight belt and fought most of his career at light heavyweight 175 to 180 mayweather had trouble making 154 come on guys that’s no fare Roy would have knocked him out please they have weight classes for a reason
Boxing is one of those disciplines, where whomever is teaching will have different Philosophies. From the jab to defense. Sometimes it's confusing and Contradicting depending how many people you're learning from The best thing to probably do is soak up as much game as possible And apply to how it best works for you
Yeah, He is talking about having your arms out to help with deflecting and instigating the punch. Leaving your arms in high guards makes it too slow to punch. You can do a High guard if you are against the ropes but evade and gain your footing and your stance again. Then he went into combinations and hitting fast, using your mind to out box your opponent. This forces your opponent to be pressured to get the next round back. Then he referred to a fight where he saw that play out and lost both rounds because of the pressure created from being faster and moving off center. But if you don't the codes and language, I can see where you can get lost.
Me too (mad respect) I’m the same age as Roy and he was a childhood hero cause we didn’t have anything like that where I was from. Small town. Bay Minette. But if you’re from p’cola you know where that is!
Pensacola in the house. I went to Washington High School before & during when he did. Of course I didn't know him, but just thinking I may have seen him before the world did is kind of cool.
Keep that rear hand up and control with the lead on the way out or you might get dropped the same way Ryan Garcia did. Granted Roy got KO’d by Antonio Tarver and his hands were home.. not always gon save you but better be safe than sorry
Hard to hear. It looks like he's discussing guard forms. My guess is with the hands close like peek a boo style you can't manipulate the opponents swing you can only evade. With a loose but high guard the lead hand can stifle punches. I watched Gaethje straight up put his hand on a guy's shoulder (poirier I think) recently to stifle the punch.
That’s only situational overall keep hands home cuz he did that when tarver beat him he got away with it before cuz of his talent most won’t b so lucky
I like Roy but he had a lot of athleticism on his side when tht left he start getting kod I’m still a big fan tho but I’m more of a James toney , Errol Spence, shakur , or mayweather fan just pure boxing fundamentals at a high degree tight defense accuracy and used feet , waist movement and hands/arms as defense Roy jones was a beast tho but once athleticism was gone he start going out bad As for James toney he was always out of shape nvr been stopped n still hand food defense besides being prideful n not being scared to take punches I feel like thts why his speech is slurred but he had a lot of potential to go further if he woulda trained like let’s say mayweather, he already had skill except he only sparred no road work or nothing else
Didn't take long before it turned into a Mayweather conversation... Boxing's version of virtue signaling. If it was a Willie Pep discussion, I'd still see a Floyd comment somewhere. smh sigh...

Wish I knew what he was saying I couldn’t hear shit from the background noise
I still remember Roy's performance in the Olympics. Greatest talent I've ever seen.
Bra?? That’s why this my fav boxer of all time.
He real deal coaching lil bra
💯
The goat don’t care what anyone says
Such a great explanation of a technique. So many greats are great but poor teachers because they can't exploit the importance and reason for doing something
*It's hard for Roy Jones Jr to teach techniques when he had God given ability.*
Yall say tht about every unorthodox style and yall miss out on alot of gems

Yeah he used to use that high guard allll the time in some fights lol
Distance is everything. Inside the pocket hands up. At distance you can do whatever you want. This guy is a good fighter but not good at teaching.
Thanks , this is it
Talk about stating the obvious lmfao. How long did it take you to figure that out!? Can you teach me to count to 10 please??
Didn’t know how to say it, but you put it perfectly. It depends on the opponent, and situation. Well said..

My favorite boxer
This guy is a legend
Great teachings
The real TBE 🐐
Nah, he’s not.
@@melw9528 he’s up there
Nice roy
He is an anomaly. His technique is only suited for him. My favorite fighter to watch hands down.
I would have loved if RJJ could have coached me during my amateur career 🤦🏾♂️
If you ever get a chance to learn from roy listen to his advice always that guy will never lead you in the wrong direction
The fight game is about who's the smartest.
in this generation, it’s about the more conditioned fighter
@@andone3540 That’s vital but skills pay the bills.

does anyone actually understand what roy is saying
He was explaining not to guard if your escaping but to block opponents face by raising hands towards opponent in the 1st minute.
Yeah, He is talking about having your arms out to help with deflecting and instigating the punch. Leaving your arms in high guards makes it too slow to punch.

He said he'll fuck you up)
That’s how Broner got Knocked down by Maidana raising his hands pulling back… arms extended chin exposed
I'm with you on this
Roy teaching people to get knocked out
Man I wish I could understand one word he said.
Damn wish I could hear what Roy is saying here...
Mad respect, we’re both from Pensacola

Looks like RJJ and myself read the same Bruce Lee literature regarding... DISTANCE CONTROL!!
Keep that rear hand up and control with the lead on the way out or you might get dropped the same way Ryan Garcia did. Granted Roy got KO’d by Antonio Tarver and his hands were home.. not always gon save you but better be safe than sorry

Karate kid?¿
Sound not clear
This vid was years ago I’m pretty sure it was recorded with an android my guy
Anything Roy did in his prime is NOT feasible for any young fighter. Hell, it wasn’t feasible for Roy when he lost his legs
Didn't take long before it turned into a Mayweather conversation... Boxing's version of virtue signaling. If it was a Willie Pep discussion, I'd still see a Floyd comment somewhere. smh sigh...
Bad audio cant hear a word
roy is old :(
You are
Yo Roy where the real talent at you don't have no guys in the bk boxing getting wack I feel bad for Roy training fools
