  • I know the video sucks already because theres more dislikes than likes.

  • worst thing you can do as a boxer

  • People, people....rolling a right hand is much better than taking it full force. If you don't roll...then you'll be a sitting duck for a left hook. If you do roll, just anticipate the left hook. If you're really skilled, you can check hook while rolling the right hand. Remember, rolling is only for when you're about to get hit and you have no other options.

  • That's why i eat my popcorn!

  • 1:18 Now if I throw a left, Nick is screwed

  • LoL, this won't work when a person throws a combination.

  • @simonmafy its for power punches, fuck boii

  • @ahmedadoodee yes, followed with a left hook.

  • as u turn ur head there just going to come in with combos and knock u out

  • Very bad idea, never take your eyes off your opponent this guy is looking away all the way and when he turns his head back and the opponent is following with a left hook, the guy is gonna sit on his ass garanteed

  • @AlbanianBrawler when you roll u can anticipate the left hook and raise your right hand or you can take a step back and reset. Remember after you roll youre still in a fight. but if you think itll help you can stay stationary take the full impact of that straight right and youll still be there to get caught with the same left hook. Boxing is chess not checkers.

  • @theilLsurrogate True, but im a boxer myself and ive just been tought never to look away from the opponent so yeah, if you have enough experience you can indeed anticipate stuff like that

  • Rolling away from a shot has the same effect as if someone was to throw a baseball at you, when you catch it you bring your hand back to decrease the impact. Same shit when rolling a punch, yea you feel the leather but because you pull on impact then the punch has gone and aint gona do shit. But i agree with most of you these two bums don't know shit. I mean he's wearing jeans and proper shit jeans like prison jeans!

  • Yeah, he's rite, turn your face and get your ass kicked in MMA..lol

  • You no nothing about boxing then you fucking retard!!!!

  • why not move ur hed out of the way

  • @123michaeljones becouse this is how to TAKE a punch when you DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DODGE !!!!

  • For yall dumbasses , this is not a video on how to dodge a punch, it's a video on how to lessen the impact once you're about to get hit and you don't have time to dodge it.

  • turning your head and setting your self up for a left hook?

  • Lol you lean you expert, if you turn your head you int gonna see the next punch coming are ya? Lean and raise your shoulder to avoid the full impact, or slip, or step back.. Turn your head? Haha you never made it pro did you? Probably why you're making silly videos with your other half..

  • What in the world is this man talking about. Once you turn your head you leave yourself open for the left hand to come right behined that right you turn your head to avoid.

    lastly what happens if you decide to try to turn your and you miss time it? your ass is knocked out thats what. please removed this video.

  • what this is dumb boxing and REAL defense means hit and not get hit. not see the punch coming and get hit smh..

  • That's the worst advice I've ever herd, DON'T LISTEN TO THAT WHAT EVER YOU DO!!!

  • It'd be easier to take a step back

  • just use the philly shell

  • date eiji

    

  • Just like in the movies ! ps after this technique you better prey he doesnt follow up with another shot .

  • @jamiegee123 EXACTLY my thoughts, Jamie!

  • @Rezinator2C2 lol ! someone should find this in a film clip and post it as a video response haha

  • I prefer using my shoulder while rolling off punches

  • this guy throws a mean ass punch

  • If you see it, move.

  • no its a good idea its just if you cant get your block up in time or you can dodge it then you can use it. its more of a last line of defense kind of thing

  • WTF Is This Shit??

    Would Be Alot Better To Slip The Punch Or To Block Or Parry

  • DONT DO THIS EVER. UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE !

  • um wtf.. if i was boxing that guy there i would juss throw the right left combination cuz he will be lookn away an if yu dont see a pounch coming thats the pounch that could knock yu out..

  • I laugh at all the people who say this is a bad move.You know nothing of boxing.

  • not good bro, i can understand but silly

  • no room for error on this combination. you didn't demonstrate a combination you demonstrated a defensive method. If this is your trainer plz get rid of him hes going to get some poor kid knocked out.. lol

  • date -san ! from hajime no ippo does this at its best

  • Really expertvillage, this is the most pathetic video I have ever seen on youtube. How do you do it? What's next? Defensive moves with your teeth? Sheeesh

  • I wish I had these tips when I was an amatuer....

  • jeah ... and your enemy can hit you 3 times more LOOOOL

  • yeah thats when u turn your head. but u can do that u just have to do it fast in turn it back in get ready for a punch again. or block it do what ever it take.....

  • dumbest gym and coach in the world with the worlds worst fighters

  • That's a really good idea. Turning your head back and away so you're looking 90 degrees in the wrong direction therefore allowing your opponent to double it up and catch you twice as hard as you reset your head makes sense. The other method would be to raise your hand on the side of impact just a bit and rolling enough for the punch to slide off. One of the beautiful things about boxing is training yourself out of foolish natural responses like the one on this video.

  • yeah this move is a bad idea for a beginner but for an experienced boxer who is experienced with this move its nice, great to get in a counter punch. Take the hit, roll with it then bam land a nice counter.

  • i'm finish with expertvillage,if you gone show somethin,atleast do it the correct way,get some professionals,smh

  • very very BAD idea. this is only if you really get caught off guard, but then you have only one person in front of you and if you let him catch u off guard, you shouldnt be in the ring in the first place.

  • Nice jeans, lol

  • ha ha you're copying Freddy Roach's video arent you ?

    still doing it wrong.

    u dont take your eyes off the opponent you fool.

  • mike:- erm ali we need to pratice rolling with the punch

    Ali:- what

    mike:- in other words let me punch you while you move your head round

    Ali:cant i cant just block the shot with my hands

    mike:- no getting punched in the side of the head is much more effective!!!

  • tell your friend to lift his hands up a few inches and try something called BLOCKING the punch...it will be a lil more effective than that shit your trying to teach you retard....

  • i go outside the right hand wile i punch him in the body with my right hand and then throw my left hook. The correct school boxing way to do it. Not this crap

  • so when he turns his head it gives you the upper hand to throw a hard left hook. Never take your eyes off your opponent.

  • hahah WHO THE FUCK IS THIS NATIVE GUY TEACHING ? does he know anything about boxing? all his counterpounching techniques are complete bull shit.

  • if you saw`it coming the first response would be to block it.

  • tell me how it worked out as soon as you wake up lol

  • while hes right handing him, the other guy could just jabbing, he aint guarding either so it leaves his face open..

  • haha turns head next thing he gets left hook to the face

  • wow how the fuck you turn away from your opponent you left it all open and basically let him dominate your face.... your actually supposed to slip with your shoulder and counter with a right upper cut to the body.... just for this you can tell you was a shitty fighter and every one you train sucks balls..... that kid looks scared as fuck wth...

  • Is this a joke, all these expertvillage videos are ridiculous, from boxing to gardening where do they find these people with such bad ideas!

  • @Nakmuay1988 I'm sick of all these self-certified boxing geniuses trolling the comment section, this technique is actually very good if properly learned and executed, freddie roach teaches it and roach is one of the best boxing trainers in the world.

  • @laswap1 I'll retract my statement if you can show me a video of someone using this effectively.

    I've never even had a proper fight and I train MuayThai not western boxing but in my humble opinion being on the back foot and facing away from your opponent is a terrible position to be in, let alone to launch a counter-attack from.

  • @Brandontrann this guy has a whole bunch of videos up he does all kinds of techniques

  • never take your eyes off your aponet, use this technique on an advance boxer and he will circle to the side of you and the fight will be over.

  • i'll rather avoid it or block it..that's much safer that way..

  • No good, NEVER ever, ever take your eyes off your opponent. Biggest mistake in a fight. You are suppose to weave the hit if you going to rely on head movement if anything.

  • No good, NEVER ever, ever take your eyes off your opponent. Biggest mistake in a fight.

  • wat a load of shit

  • and you turn your head from your opponent. And your opponent can hit you with left hand if he sees that you are turning your head from his right straight hits.

  • He's trying to show ppl that if u roll with the puch U MIGHT catch ur opponent off guard, and u can couter, but the only time u should roll with it is IF U HAVE TO, i don't like this at all

  • This is retarded beyond words. You're looking away, he's gonna follow up with another right hand, or worse, hes going to follow up with a big fucking lead hook and catch you on the jaw and you'll deserve it because you were looking away in some retarded attempt to decrease the impact.

  • thats not boxing,..thats being retarded, why not step back

  • bullshit

  • so stupid. there's a little thing called slipping punches

  • yea nice now youve got your head facing away from him, wtf?

  • look at who this guy has fighting for him now, fat has beens who get knocked out in golden gloves, drunks, little girls and retarded kid, his senior boxer got knocked out in golden gloves last year, he had one kid who wouldquit in second round, he just got charged with aggravated domestic assault for beating up his little girlfriend. guess all he knows how to do is hit women and scare kids. back with ex old lady god is she scary being with her alone makes him need help

  • dis asshole keeps breathin out no matta what. like movin ur head to tha side takes up so much energy that u need to breath out like crazy. fuckin idiot

  • God; you guys should know what you're talking about before you comment. Roberto Duran was a MASTER at the head turn technique, as was James Toney and Wilfredo Benitez. Essentially, when a punch manages to violate your centerline, and you CAN'T perform the shoulder roll, catch or slip the shot, the head turn robs the blow of the impact it would normally have if you did nothing and allowed it to hit you flush. You can always tell who's never strapped on the leather, nahmean?

  • @daTruChosen oh lol i throught he was offering it as a alternate type of defence

  • What the fuck is this bollox? This should be called retard village. Ur meant to roll with ur fucking shoulder to set up a counter shot. Jesus Christ. Or you could just parry or slip the shot instead. This video is fukin lame!!!!!!!!!!

  • thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard..

  • I don't like this move because your taking your eyes of your opponent and also the punch still may do some damage to you. It's risky. Also your opponent may do a combination that would probably damage you. I think head movement is better or moving backward or having your guard up blocking it is better, and safer. Interesting technique though I must say.

  • Ya in amature boxing This move will give your opponent a free point.

  • this video should be called 'What to do when you get hit in the face'

  • this is so stupid why not slip the punch

  • @MrTerahui thats what i thought too

  • this is retarded...

  • Man dont listen to this or surely you ll find yourself waking up asking what happened they look like some f n rookies take it from someone who use to train

  • A bit risky and taking your eye of your opponent . If you see a right hand coming you should block it or move your head and counter. But I guess with practice this move can make the punch a lot less harmful when done correctly.

  • thats a bad idea

  • @hock105 i agree, what there doing does look dumb but i have to say i have see erik morales do this a number of time, when he gets his jab countered and a right hand is coming over the top he basically quickly looks behind him and the right hand barely lands, in the morales vs junior jones fight he does everal times, watch it, he does it alot quicker and more proffsionjal looking than this, lol

  • @SKEEMSSS yeaah if my challenger did that i would smack him with a left hook as hes turning back around

  • @hock105

    .

    Yeah,  Im not too sure about this one...

    .

  • @hock105 then tell as a better way than that to take a punch if you don't have enough time to block or dodge ,then ; )

  • @NightSolger9450069 still your not suppost to take your eyes off your opponent, if he looks the other way im taking advantage of that ,

  • this is a bad technique it only makes it look like you got hit 10x harder plus your never suppose to look away always keep your eyes on your opponents

  • This guy spends almost the whole video TALKING instead of actually showing us what to do.

  • superdaws is right. It's a very advanced move that Roberto Duran was a master at. Other fighters such as Ali, Roy Jones, Chris Byrd and even Ricardo Mayorga were pretty good at rolling with punches too. It's not good for all fighters and for all situations. It takes good reflexes and/or good timing.  Using this move, you're only going to be able to roll with 2 of them maximum - and that's if they throw back to back right hands. If they mix in an uppercut and/or a hook with it, you might get

  • yourself in trouble. Tucking your chin behind your shoulder and doing a shoulder roll is safer, as you'll still have your eyes on your opponent and you'll be able to counter. Trying to roll Danny Green's right hand is what got Roy Jones in trouble in his last fight. Roy caused the punch to land in the back of his head, knocking him down and Roy didn't recover too well. Although it was a quick stoppage. Just an example how it can get you in trouble. Roy used the move against John Ruiz well.

  • Roy only got caug against Danny Green because Roy's reflexes aren't what they used to be. Roy used to be able to roll with the right hand and make it miss him completely. The goal is usually to lessen the impact of the blow, but Roy would remove 100% of the impact by making it miss instead of glancing off of him.

  • id have good head movement in the begining and then when the punches come slip to the left or right

  • this isnt good advice rite here cuz once you turn your head away from the opponent you cant see wat the hell ther gonna do next, you always keep yur eye on the opponent never look away

  • this is the dumbest coach eva in boxing history..imoa wat if they trow in a left upper cut combo with that and then a right hook ..KO

  • NEVER DO THIS!!!! The best way to avoid punishment is having a tight guard and good vision, lots of guys have really tight guards but put their head down and can't see shots coming then get hurt, keep tight, hands up, elbows in, chin tucked, eyes up!

  • crap

  • That has to be the absolute last resort surely. I would rather roll under it, parry it away or block it with my left than do that. If your going to roll your head like this then you should at least turn your head away and step round at the same time like Mayweather, Toney or Hopkins do. This, if you time you it wrong which is likely, will get you knocked on your arse.

  • load a garbage

  • not so sure it's garbage. It's certainly not for the beginner (like me!), but for more advanced boxer. Roberto Duran was great at rolling with punches like this.

  • thats a good technique if u can do it right..

  • dosent saund safe sorry but i think its a bad idea

  • BULLSHIT

  • better be careful of my killer left hook thoguh ;) .. it would be coming up right after my straight right.

  • boooooooooooooooooo

  • as u can see (thanks nick)

  • people - it is a drill.

    Not a fighting or sparring how to.

    This is a teaching technique, different from Real fight scenarios are what he says - Don't grit your teeth etc.

    He has good info, but it must be taken with a grain of salt and understading

  • watch for the combination

  • to do that I must see it comming and if I see it comming why would I do that? I rather close and block it

  • @Fuzo06  you are dumb the rolling technique is very useful

  • its just that nick did the rolling technique wrong

    but ive used it and it is very useful

  • @Fuzo06 block it then u still get hit by your own gloves

  • @GavinoPro sometimes you have to take 1 to give 1. It's part of the game.

  • @Fuzo06

    Ture, however, imo it is good to knwo because you may be too late to block/parry/dodge, the drill helps you expect getting hit and lerning to abosorb some impact so that if you do get tagged you can still keep moving forward

  • @Fuzo06 because if you roll with the right you have your opponent in a perfect position to counter with your own right hand.

  • this exercise is How to get punched not avoid punch lol

  • yeah... it's not avoiding a punch.

    it's avoiding punch IMPACT.

    if you're getting hit in the face, and you're moving back like he's saying, then the power of the punch is reduced.

  • thats fukkin stupid why not just slip to the left side a judge would count that as a goood punch

  • Hhaha wtf is that , you cant just take away your eyes of your opponent haha

  • I agree with you. Never have I ever been trained to take my eyes off an oppenent like that. why not slip the right and land something?

  • this guy is great now when i turn my head away from the punch i get hit twice as hard when i turn my head blindly back into the guys second punch

  • Absolutely Terrible.

    The puncher can easily fake the right hand and you'll be on the recieveing end of a left hook or uppercut.

    Even if this so called 'defensive' technique is performed correctly, in an amateur fight, the judges would score him a point as it could easily look as if the punch has landed and your head is snapping back.

    Shit move

  • LMFAO - the best way to counter punch is to turn your head when you get punched?

    hahahahahahahahhaha

    no but seriously kiddos , dont do this at all , he is not cool for giving out advice like that. he is going to get someone hurt.

  • fucking retard, this is a last ditch maneuver if you are caught with your hands down and the punch is already coming. The great boxing trainer freddie roach even uses this as a set up for the body shot

    /watch?v=u-DggRQngGM

    Stop trying to act like a boxing expert on the internet, this move is obviously too advanced for you to comprehend how to use it.

  • he never said that....he said to counterpunch....

    now whos the retard? maybe you need to smoke a blunt and get some pussy before you try to act like a big man on that keyboard you fuck

  • read the first part of my comment you fuking retard, though i doubt comprehension is one of your strengths. ''this is a last ditch maneuver''

    watch?v=7oEsZrHU9bw

    Maybe you need to stop smoking blunts and jaking off to asian girls you anime nerd and actually get in the gym and train and stop acting like a know it all on youtube videos you faggot

  • allright i dont know what crawled up your ass and died maybe your boyfriend didnt fuck you right last night or something? no reason for you to get offended and get all defensive over a youtube video you fucking queer.

    jacking off to asian girls? yeah, i do jack off in a girls mouth before i cum.

    you need to unwind dog what happened your girlfriend get a train ran on her or something??? hahahahaha your a bitch

  • spoken like a true virgin

    fuck off, kill yourself

  • hahahahaha shut your fuck ass up buddy your girlfriend had that train on her last night

  • my girlfriend is your mother, i know she's a skank that gets DP'ed regularly but that's how she pays her bills so who i am to stop that fine woman from earning a living to support her semi retarded son

  • hahahahahahaha you and your little porn slang get laid for once you fucking loser.

  • HAHAHA if a cunt had calories i'd be a fat man.

    you have be owned

  • hahahaaha you just admitted to having a pussy so your a she-man now i know why your acting like a little bitch by talking shit. because you have no friends...it all adds up =]

  • You just proved your IQ by your inability to comprehend written passages.

    Congratulations on being a retard, it's probably a result from having a mother and father who are also brother and sister.

  • hahahahaha shutup bitch dont get mad because you aint got a dick son no wonder your girl had to call me and my boys up to run that train on her.

  • Don't talk about your sister like that

  • On the way back from the roll if your opponent doubles up on the right you're leaning your head towards the punch, and he's gonna ring your bell, dumb technique

  • the bad thing about this technique is that when you're faced towards the other direction your opponent could quickly slide over to the side you turn your head to and punch from the direction you're leaning towards. DOUBLING the impact

  • -.- Not do this stupid tecnique... you will lose...

  • hahahahahhah, funny video. just keep your guards high and u will be fine. turn your head only if u cant block it, that should be the last thing.

  • agreed. turning away is the worst way to defend. this is a bad habit to develop. what do you think's going to happen after you look away? even if you do survive that one shot there's more coming and now you can't see what the fuck is going on. defend with your guard up and chin locked down.

  • yo i've been watching the expertvillage videos and reading all the comments, fucking hilarious i havent laughed this hard in a long time.... fucking nick is the worst.

  • lol nick probably gets his ass whooped in any sort of competition

  • punch em harder lol

  • OH WOW!!! This guy is seriously a moron! Please don't try this at the gym. He is gonna get someone hurt. This Nick guy looks like he can barely stand as it is.

  • this is why kids get knocked out.these stupid trainers that dont know anything about boxing.LISTEN UP!dont ever do this crap shown in the video.move your head or block,parry,heck even evade just dont ever do this,you will get knocked out!

  • To the judges, this would look like a clean hit.

  • Guy in read headgear should keep his chin tucked behind his left shoulder.

    I

  • if he sees the punch coming why would he just slip it

  • One option: If he rolls away from the right hand, his hips naturally turn in a clockwise direction. Then he can explode with a right hand counter by reversing his hips counter-clockwise.

  • aka...how to get punched...and not letting it hurt to much

  • this helped alot

  • Of course you'd rather slip or duck or parry or catch a punch than roll with it. Those are the most DUH! statements ever. However, all else fails you need to know how to roll with a punch so train it or get KO'd. Up to you.

  • In a case when you're in trouble and failed to block or dodge a punch, I think it's better to lower your head to let him hit your forehead.

  • Actually some fighters allow them selves to get hit in the forehead or top of the head so that they hurt the other guys hand

  • Thanks Nick!

    Bhahahahahaa! XD

  • i would rather slip the punch tbh!

  • Of course. Rolling is the last line of defense if you see the punch but are too late to slip, duck or block it.

    Legendary trainer Eddie Futch loved the roll followed by counter body shot.

  • ya guys, when you get punched...just look away so you can get hit again. try not to break your neck.
