I think a lot of people are missing the point of this drill. Dude is trying to explain that you don't have to see a punch coming to block it with good technique.

The point isn't to close your eyes when a punch is thrown, but to practice good technique because you won't always see them coming.

the cover up is great but it's not something you should do all the time, he was out of breath in just half a minute

i wouldnt throw that white boy in a fight lol. but his style is kinda funny buhh thats something that the mexicans do for the senses, almost like spider type thing, he looks like he dont know what he doing, not the best technique but the point he trynna come across is there

These types of drills can help you with your head movement and reaction to block ,slip,roll etc.! Alot of folks can bash this video to hell! But they can't deny that this type of situation happens in a fighting or sparing matches! Other folk's have different styles but they can't deny that boxers like Joe fraizer,Roy Jones and many other famous boxers do this type of defense !!

@jiniton you should think when you train but if your in a fight you fight, you don't think unless you want to get your teeth knocked out.

@sk8forlife90 both styles or any style is good, it doesnt depend on which art you are in, boxing, muay thai, BJJ, karate even TKD. it depends on the fighter and how much training he has been through and also his heart. he may be 7 foot tall but if he cowers after a couple of hits than he is done for. in the ring you also need to use your mind to think of better strategies to counter and combo your opponent and spot out his flaws and weak points/bad habits.
