The Art of Defensive Boxing
This video is dedicated to showing the aspects of a good defence; a huge part of being able to box is being able to defend. Without defence you will have no attack. Defence in boxing involves foot movement, head movement, elbows by your side protecting body shots, and a solid guard protecting your chin. This video includes some of the best athletes boxing has ever seen; even some of the most explosive fighters boxing has ever seen had to have top notch defence, such as Mike Tyson. Both Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Mayweather hold outstanding records of not being hit by one single punch throughout the full duration of a round! That shows immaculate defence skills. It will also shock you to know that Mayweather has never hit the canvas of a boxing ring in his Professional boxing career! But he nearly did twice against former world champion Shane Mosley in May.
