Advanced Boxing Techniques and Exercises : Sizing Up Your Boxing Opponent

[jtPwnz]

6'2 aint short !

[billolden]

i think i can reiterate, what he's saying makes sense but the title is misleading

he is basically warning against "reaching" in. If you have the range or even if you are just a precise puncher, he is saying its safer to walk the man into shots then reach in and get countered hard by someone who is possibly shorter and stronger

the common knowledge is keep the small man at bay, but this is how you focus in and really hit the person. if you reach in from to far, you hit gloves or he rolls it

[ToastxNxBaNaNaS]

can anyone reiterate what he is saying? im confused when he says shortening his jab. usually i hear trainers saying "the taller man should use his long range jab against a shorter man" where this man says somethin different

[ToastxNxBaNaNaS]

can anyone reiterate what this guy is saying? i don't really understand why he is saying to shorten his jab. i usually hear people saying that if you have a longer reach you would typically use your long range jab. where this man says to shorten it?

[gullablebeeatch]

So many people are sayin they didn't learn shit from this, if your not learnin anything from a video i highly suggest you go down to your local club and learn the proper way..

I check up on these sorts of video's from time to time to see the comparison if different coaches fighting techniques/tips

[TheSuperNooba]

im kinda short im 6'1" fk u im 5'7" ^^

[richmond283]

lmao i didnt learn shit from dis dude a bad teacher

[aper3221bitch]

What the hell was this? I didn't get shit from this.

[avnish0000]

I learnt nothing from this one

[BCRichBich2000]

i try to keep distance from shorter fighters. i guess he can do what ever he wants

[Donfabrichi]

For some reason watching this video pissed me off as an Martial arts instructor i found it lacking reality, detail, clarity, and video rehearsal. not to mention the title didn't match what he was saying at all really. I even doubted he was a real trainer at the begining, then found out towards the end his knowldege was just difficult to convey. he could teach but you would have to spend a long time with him on a one on one basis.

Making videos "Icsmma" user name Check out my school.

[legnasin]

ditto!

[rperez933]

For reason... I didnt learn shit from this video...

Someone please talk about the oversized white tee...

:D

[TheMrKlaratu]

"what you talkin bout willis?"

[kidilli]

[13itchu0wn3d]

[minerofblood]

6'2 is like a good height

[cantthinkofanynames9]

yeh? suck it

[iJ3W]

[DesertEagleize]

If you 13 and 6ft...you better start working on your jump shop! know what i m saying

[cantthinkofanynames9]

really when i was 13 i was 6foot6" bitch!

[AkhilleusWeeps]

I don't understand how an ex-pro athlete can become so out of shape. I'm not just talking about Mr.Barkley but alot of other ex pro athletes deteriorate as they age. I think this athlete was born in 1960 so that makes him 49? Weird, I would think they would be fit for life. Thanks for the info regardless, good video.

[poopstainconner]

the only people that can talk shit are other boxing trainers or pro boxers. if you are not one of those you just need to keep quiet.

[guitardaddy6]

that is not exactly true. you dont have to be a pro boxer to know what is going on and what worked for you. like now...im just looking for more views on things that i already have down. i have plenty of room for criticizing. but i wont. because HE is training HIS way. just saying. :)

[konkretebruh]

Perfect example of wat boxing does to ur brain Lol

[newbrightonsaints]

that is an ex boxer* sorry haha

[newbrightonsaints]

how could you question a proved boxing trainer that is an ex-trainer? haha, as long as all the haters can back there mouths up with better coaching videos?

[bkwwatkins540]

Thats Iran Barkley you idiots...look him up and you will see he knows his shit.

[butter09]

yea real advanced shit

[Perrsian11]

Okay,I'm still waiting to see some advance tips,

[dunne00]

Advanced Boxing Training?????? I think this video should b called Basic Boxing Training

[TheEmowithsunglasses]

Someone obivously got hit in the head too much...

[Thebookguy1]

He's like the Ozzy Osbourne of boxing!

[broddle]

most this guys vids are ood but this one is a waste of time, its all obvious.

[downpm]

I'm kinda short, I'm 6' 1''

[ILLSTILLKILLU]

[mattchezzz]

[nastynas4eva]

can someone please tell me how to downlaod boxing training vids so i can burn it into cds and give it my younger brother as he just started boxing....plz let me know

[cypresspuz]

He looks like a sheet with a bowling ball on top.

[bigdBrazilian]

one thing that he said nd alot of ppl dont know or choose not to do it , is throwin the quick jab like that snappin it, it does more damage then a strong slow jab

[sk984]

hey leave the guy alone he was probably high or marijuana when he was making the video lmao

[kanb1891]

cant make out what he is saying!

[hinnant850]

and mam guys tain in everything most of them train in boxing kick boxing and wrestling and submions wreslting like bjj or sambo or catch wrestlig. we ahve o do alot more traing then jsut boxers or kick boxers we hve to do it all its very hard and mma gusyodnt get the repcet they diserve.

[gullablebeeatch]

@hinnant850 Were you drunk when you wrote this?

[hinnant850]

of course mma lol thats a joke boxers get beat up in k1 and they get beat up in mma.

they are differnt sports. and triang in jsut stnd up wont make u the best fighter.

i box and do muay thai aka kick box and mm mm awins.90 percent of the time and goes both ways alor of mma guys cant jsut go in and out box a top level boxer samwe with going into k1 they are differnt games.

[gullablebeeatch]

@hinnant850 What you on about muay thai aka kick boxin?

Muay thai and kick boxing are nothing a like

I did muay thai for 2 years? =S

[byobbbyo]

boxer verses mma, who will win? mma of course

[YungMoezy]

you never know you cant say mma would win it depends on the poeple fighting.Sure mma fighters can wrestle really good and put you to sleep but think about boxers they could fuck you up really really bad with one punch

[tucci06]

no not of course. it all depends.

[mma9000]

half of the people that talk smack will never even step in a ring or train.

[Eugene2814]

Who are these assholes talking shit about this guy?? Seriously this guy is a former WORLD CHAMP , fought and beat Tommy Hearns TWICE, fight of the year with Roberto Duran, fought James Toney...seriously you people arent even on the level of wiping his ass let alone talk shit

[spankybighead]

exactly...he's Iran Barkley former WBC Middleweight Champion of the World and knocked out Thomas "Hitman" Hearns and got a split decision against Roberto Duran so trust me he'd kick the shit out of these keyboard gangsters on youtube. Not to mention he's from Mott Haven...that's the Bronx for you bitches that don't know.

[JvPaVp]

Yeah man, I hate it when these guys on the thinks they are the best fighter.. like when they say " these guys don't know how to shadowbox, he doesn't move his foot or arm right" on the internet to a real boxer who's trying to teach some boxing technique .. in real life they can't do shit..

[ragger256]

the only thin is no1 is fightin back so the time hes actually hit them he would b down 4 10 lol

[chowbelly]

I like this guy. Good video.

[lolzore]

nice vid, since when s 6"2 'kinda short' lol!

[tubxyoob]

nigger doesn't know shit. i'm a pro and i say throw it as long as you can as often as you can. fuck the nigger.

[enoyes2005]

your the nigger. nigger isnt a color its ignorance. stop acting like one. if you are really a pro then you know that people do box different. what hes saying might be wrong for you but good for someone else. and what he said was not really wrong and would work.

[siriusb2]

bah shut your fucking mouth if you are a pro where is your fucking video?

[klausbjarne]

I'm not a boxer, so I don't really know how you guys do things... But short snapping punches like that would provide the oponent with alot of opertonetyes!

It would work in boxing where you have no locks etc. but don't use it on the street, it's like begging for the other guy to lock you and punch you down (I do Wing Chun, and win chun figthers are like "Come on, do some werid shit and let me lock you .."

[BrownSnake91]

wtf you're a dumbass. it's "oppurtunities not "opertonetyes" you fucking moron.

[tschmaus1]

*opportunities lol

[augustus008]

Wait...what?

[foripu]

alot of these cats making all these smart ass comments dont realize thats iran "the blade" barkley. watch his fights on youtube he had the heart to do what alot of u wouldnt.

[Galentine]

Thank u for your teaching zen master

[richfasho]

what he's trying to say is. If your inboxing (fighting with someone short range) and your teach is longer, you'd use a quick short jab instead of a long one. A long jab is great if your outboxing, but if your inboxing it can cause you to waste alot of time, and if missed, leaves an oppurtunity to get countered.

[tyciol]

After having watched Hajime no Ippo I sort of understand Rich's comment.

[Rx7even]

?? ?? ??....I guess I understand :/

Can't say I'll be confident in battle~

[tgriggz123]

he means well....but i think he got hit a few times too many....maybe theres more out there....until check out my vids

[Cablerods]

if u miss an extended jab your opponent comes on your body and then on your jaw and we all know thats not gonna end well

[chillguy509]

this dude should just.......

please reply with funny insults

[HunterPliskin07]

Realise that it would be wise to rehearse in his head BEFORE he speaks... That guys sentences had more gaps in than his teeth!

[DonMack279]

I know what he's saying. If you extend your jab all the way against a shorter guy with good movement, and you miss, youre pretty much fucked up. If you shorten the jab, you have a much faster recovery and can answer with the cross hand if the shorter guy moves in

[imdjbigw]

lol

how funny was that

keep em coming i throughly enjoyed that 1 could not understand the short guy(who said hs is 6ft) didnt make any sense he just wanted to be filmed

[Jacobhoward56]

IF you hit on the tip of your punch , your arm is extending to far and putting pressure on your elbow... A little halfway your extending into someones face. you people act like you know everything.... idiots

[Daeron15]

true jacob most people dont know this but dont extend your whole arm (when u miss it happens) but the punch should land almost inmediately when the extending motion is a bit farther (elbow angle should be around 165 never 180 u can injure ur elbow if landed this way)

[TxTechRox123]

I agree, you don't want the end of the punch to land on the guys face, you want to actually punch about a foot beyond your target...maximize your power. Otherwise you're just slapping at him, not really punching.

[moeminti]

this guy doesnt know what he's talking about, the power comes on the end of your punch...and the reach is just an advantage to the taller guy..IDIOT

[Rx7even]

I'm sure he has a descent understanding. I think the problem lies somewhere within that jarred brain of his.

This would be the down side to boxing-_-

[moeminti]

this guy doesnt know what hes talking about....the power comes on the end of your punches..

[haterz91]

basically shorter boxers need to close in beacuse taller boxers have more range in their punches on shorter people

[rockyryan239]

The shorter guy needs to close down the distance so he can box/fight in his range. The tall guy needs to SNAP out his long range puches. Why would using your reach slow you down, like a whip the sting is at the end of the shot. The shorter guy should be eating leather as he tries to cut down the distance and even things up.

[rockyryan239]

Bullshit... use your reach for max effect v a short guy.

[00Grenade00]

if u reach for max it slows u down and shorter person will gain advantage

[LetsGo6009]

I thought this vid would be about something else, not how to time the distance of your jabs. still interesting tho

[avatarion]

why is he wearing a skirt?

[MittyMusic]

Lol im short dude only about 6'2???? wtf

[timothyguy]

yeah just wasted my time...i think anyone can figure out what reach does for you

[JoeTheDobbs]

not much here for me to pick up im a tall guy 6,3 (do to illnesss im now 157lbs) and im an "outside" fighter (cuz im tall) i like to keep you at the end of jab.. and if you can get around it then you deserve land a few on me, if im still there ;) but the guy in this video talks so slow.. not awhole lot here

[princerudynasim]

wowowowo 6'3 157 daaammmm im 6'3 also going for light heavy but damn if u can manage to get power at some weight around 157 u'll be amonster with right if ur a smart boxer

[the0csalev]

damn tyson was short for a heavy weight. pancho villa [the best fly weight of all time] was 5 ft 1 inch, but he was a flyweight not a heavy weight.

[chrisevans15]

nice thanks alot.

[25freedom]

the idea in general is good , dude so bad in explain'n it.......lol

[wimza12345]

stay of the crack buddy

[godadameve]

In his PRIME, IRAN BARKLEY was one of the very BEST SLUGGERS in boxing. He fought EVERYBODY from Middleweight to Super-Heavyweight. And usually won by KNOCKOUT. He LOsT only to the VERY BEST: Nigel Benn, Roberto Duran, and a FEW others. I could not believe it when he fought Gerrie Coatzee at Super Heavyweight and KNOCKED him OUT! In the late seventies/early eighties, Coatzee was one of the most dangerous heavyweights on the planet! PROPS to IRAN BARKLEY!

[roger69er]

I have no idea what he is on about,and poor dude is not even sure on how tall he is so whats makes him so sure about his boxing tips? maybe i´m just too dumb to get it! village idiot

[anonymous66]

Iran makes no sense in this video. "If it don't reach, he's gonna have to shorten his jab...snap it...snap." lol. Is this Damon Wayans doing a skit?? By the way, I'm a boxer, and I think I know what he was TRYING to say, but who really cares (that I box or what Iran has to say)?

[kinghate1488]

tyson was 5'11 1/2 218lbs

[bxnyfordham]

i know a cop that was there when they arressted tyson in Brooklyn, said he was a hair over 5'9 when they measured him. Marciano was ALMOST 5'11

[provekyl]

they list tyson at 5-11 but I stood next to him several times and he is no more than 5-9.5

[ekineme]

This n!@@a learned how to box in jail! He aint no real trainer! LMAO!!!

[CN7039]

lol. "i'm 6'1'' and im kinda short". I dont think height matters that much in a fight, as much as the weight. shorter limbs = more velocity. I mean, i know there are tyson haters out there, but he was kinda short for a heavyweight, but he sure did knock the fuck out of many tall fuckers!

[BLaCkKsHeEp]

god tyson. such a good boxer back then. you guys think hecan still make a comeback?

[CN7039]

Nah, he was awesome back then, and boxing was so good to watch, but now he's gone, and boxing pretty much sucks. I think he's way too old for it now.

[BLaCkKsHeEp]

well... there's always Pacquiao, Pavlik, and tbe Philippine vs Mexico boxing fad that's still going on.

[harrisonbensongerard]

not to mention a little too parkinsons for it now.

[novadj777]

mayb not for tyson he was good but for most people it does i have a friend 5 9 ten years boxing and if he went up aganst a 6 6 with good defence footwork and speed its almost imposible to penitrate

[dlhickey86]

this guy is an idiot

[reallyog]

Dont listen to this fat az nigga hes lie cuz you need to have hand if you dont you going to lose no matter but if you tall small i leard that boxing nigga in the street dont wast your money by going to club fight nigga in the street they tell you what you did right or wroge

[dollarz4eva]

this nigga is gonna get some ones ass wiped

[BLaCkKsHeEp]

wiped? haha! i'd rather have someone wipe my ass than fighting em...

man if the world leaders settle things like this, there would be no wars, world hunger, and discrimmination.

[klaskerN]

ofc it's bette to bee the bigger one in the fight,but if ur big with no fight skills ur done

[secerluk]

I'm 6.1 about 6.2 ...6.4 yea about 6.4 AHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHA

[lietutuvis]

size do mather if u are bigger u have longer arms then u can get ur aponent from greater distance

[babilove89]

size dont matter get ummmmm

[psychodog4]

Doesn't matter that he's short, he just need to fight in a short distance, but beware of those long left jabs because those can be hard

[rimmey280]

6 foot 1 is pretty short lol

im 6 foot 1 now and i just turned 16

[chrispinoy69]

did he just say 6'1 is short? lmao

[tunelowplayslow]

Short for a heavyweight

[sothenisay]

6'1"?! SHORT?! maybe for black people. defintely not short for normal people.

[BJH024]

snap it, you just snap it, snap it....i forgot, do we need to snap it???

[xanderpander87]

gary coleman has grown

[amirio2]

snap that shit

[SchmittySwitch]

nice bro

[Bechard101]

cant understand wut hes saying

[TheRealGhostSouljah]

Alright Cool i appreciate this...when i throw my jabs i always extend now i know not to.. Thanx

[iGoTUrBaByMaMa]

its still good to throw extended jabs to feel out your opponent and measure the distance u are from him.if your right handed then u would throw long jabs with your left and see if you can actually graze your opponents face

[jottyontheocky]

Carnt here a word he sez
