very very nice video. im about to spar with a 2 time world champion and its only my 2nd time hahaha i have a lil trouble movin right. i was crossin my feet. will watch this video again and practice first thing in the mornin
You can change the spacing between the lines to suit the distance you want to move but a rough guide would be 24'' or about 2 feet. It really depends how tall you are.
ricky hatton has great footwork. but pacquiao's footwork is even better. not saying that because pacquiao ko'ed hatton in 2 rounds, it's just the way pac uses his footwork is just more effective.
I always figured step with the lead foot first, i.e., stretch open your legs (but not too far), then carry the rear and close them back to the original stance. I definately see how carrying the rear first then stepping foward will expend less energy but I'm wondering how practical that would be against a kick while moving (obviously not in a boxing match but still curious).
Still, I'm grateful to learn an alternate stepping method (that's where it all starts) and it was explained well. Thanks.
@Nunziohotpants hey, to me that sounds like you are standing up a bit too much before you throw the punch. You should always have that slight hunch over at the waist and upper back that gives you the ability to lean forward into a power shot, of course. Practice putting the tips of your fingers to your knees, then from there elbows at your side, fists up to your face. That will give you a natural defense posture. Work from there, friend.
I'm being taught to never lift my back foot-my right,I'm orthodox,off the ground,this style seems more natural,as you move forward your body weight provides the power for the punch.One question,will Derek's footwork leave a fighter open to being pushed off balance in a fast moving fight ?
Derek is the nicest guy you'd ever meet and a genuine champion. If you have any training questions for him just post them here and I can make a quick training video of the answers for you.

That's very nice. Could you ask him about how to feint, and what some different kinds of feints are. That would be excellent.
