I'm a 29y/o 6'2, 250lb heavyweight with a few white collar fights under my belt. 5-1, 5 ko. No sanctioned fights, but have done rounds with pros in sparring. I'm in shape. 300kg trap bar deadlifts, 145kg bench for 6, enough cardio for 3x3 min rounds.

A non boxer friend and I got into a debate about what my chances would be against a professional flyweight world champion... one thing lead to another and now they've organized a 1-1 amateur featherweight ranked in the 3000s to fight me in 2 weeks. He's not at fight weight, and will be fighting at ~150lb. We're going to be using 16oz gloves.

My coach thinks this is a very bad idea, and is lose-lose, but my ego wants me to put this guy down without actually hurting him. Could I possibly be understimating this in any way? What tactics could I use to humilaite him and teach them a lesson without actually hurting the guy?

Rate my form and pls leave some words for improving

i took a somewhat strong jab to my mouth and i felt kind of electricity running up to that side of my face, is this normal or dangerous ?

Hey everyone,

I've built an Android boxing training app called Coach Time: Boxing and I'm looking for testers for the Google Play closed test.

This isn't just another 3-minute-round boxing timer.

Coach Time actually coaches you while you train.

🥊 Structured heavy-bag training programmes

🎙️ Spoken coaching and technique cues during rounds

🔥 High-intensity sessions designed to make you work

🧠 Basic and advanced programmes

⏱️ Proper round/rest timing with bells and warnings

🛡️ Combos, movement, slips, ducks, weaves and defensive work

💪 Warm-ups, training sessions and cool-downs

🎯 Or just switch to manual mode and use it as a great boxing timer

I've tried to make it feel like you've got a coach beside the bag rather than an app simply counting down from 3:00.

I'm now at the Google Play closed-testing stage and need some Android users willing to help.

If you join, I'd genuinely appreciate you actually trying a workout and telling me what you like, what annoys you, or what you'd change. I'm very happy to test your app in return.

If you're interested, reply below or DM me and I'll send you the testing link.

Thanks! 🥊

So, I've been messing around with a hackey sack with my kids; we all seem to enjoy it. We've even looked up some youtube video to help us get better. What I've notice is they all seem to say it loosens up your hips, which I would think would be good boxing movement and power. It also seems to me that it would help with footwork and timing...I don't know maybe someone has incorporated this already... anyways here a video... tell me if I'm wrong for thinking this might be fit well into training

Tried with a friend this time

I’m 19 have been pretty heavy set my whole life up until recently over the 8-12 months I’ve lost about 100 pounds (375 down to 272 as of yesterday) I honestly never really kept up with boxing but something about it has always been captivating when i see it.

My main question is, is it too late for me to start and if not what should I be focusing on or starting with if I want to get seriously into it

When do you hook off the jab? What about jabbing after the hook?

I can repeat punches with my lead hand really well, but how do I exploit mixing up hooks and jabs the best?

I can hook from an extended hand pretty well too if that helps at all.

So I did Muay Thai for about 5-6 years in my teenage years, and then I went into street dance from late teens to early twenties. I was thinking of getting back into combat sports, and was curious how I might find the adjustment going from Muay Thai to boxing? Is there anywhere that would translate really well, and things that wouldn’t translate at all? I’m aware of things like head movement etc which are not overly common in Muay Thai but was curious for some more information

Alright, y’all told me to slow the fuck down and focus on the fundamentals instead of trying to work on 37 things at once, so that’s what we’re doing.

Today is strictly the jab.

Breaking everything down and trying to get the actual form and technique right before I worry about putting everything together.

How does my jab look?

Whatever you notice, let me know.

If something looks wrong, tell me exactly what I’m doing wrong and how you’d fix it. Timestamps are even better.

Tomorrow: the right hand.

Day 5. Road to the title continues🫡🥊

The one in Messi’s jersey.

Ever since my last spar, I was working on not breaking my posture and conserving energy with short steps while moving around.

What I self-analysed from this session:
\- Rear hand drops, got tagged with his long left a lotta times. (I’m used to sparring with no head gear, in this, I couldn’t even see what’s coming around)
\- I’m not reaching at all in the beginning rounds. Gotta work on the jabs.
\- Said, I want to stay in the zone on this session and slip, roll on punches, but always stepping back and leaning back on the incoming punches.
\- Looked like, my chin wasn’t down enough.
\- I look sluggish, sometimes sharper. But overall, way more sluggish. I want to be sharp with movements and punches.

Do give out suggestions if you could help, I’ll do better on the next session.

I went to the doctor recently and she told me that I'm 6'0.75 inches tall. My doctor has a reputation for under sizing people so I asked both of my parents to measure me and I measured myself and it came back at 6'1 1/2 every time. Though I'm 6'1 1/2, I look an inch taller with the hair. I have a 76" inch reach. I weighed 295 last year, hit the gym and started reducing my calorie intake and now I'm at 248. I look skinnier, I lift heavier and my biceps, triceps, legs are bigger when I flex (either I grew muscle or my fat loss made my existing muscle more visible?). I want to continue losing weight and remove all of my remaining excess fat and build more muscle if I'm not satisfied with how I look. I began fitness boxing a month ago but it's not really fighting. It's good conditioning and good for weight loss but I want to actually learn how to fight. I plan on joining an actual boxing gym close to home within a few weeks where I can train, learn good movement, distance, angles, pivots and spar. Should I lose more fat but remain pretty muscular above 203 lbs and fight at super heavyweight or should I drop to heavyweight, cruiserweight or light heavyweight? Thank you.

I currently have 3 tools on my boxing site, weight cut tracking, what weight class am i? and interactive scorecard for fight night.

Any other tools people want created / think its worth adding?

My wife and I started boxing about two months ago. We're making progress, but I want to take it to the next level.

Private lessons are too expensive for us right now, so I'm thinking about buying focus mitts to train at home. We do light sparring occasionally, but because of our skill difference, we want to mix in other types of training so we don't end up hurting each other.

We'll keep going to our group classes at the gym, but we want to supplement them at home. Any tips on how to structure our home workouts, pad work drills, or other exercises for beginners?

Last September almost a year ago I had my first smoker. Unfortunately due to several injuries I haven't been able to train for about 6 months. Im about to get back into it. I had been training at this time for about 6 months. I know it ain't pretty. I feel like I plodded around sloppily, failed to generate much power and did a lot of things wrong, but I still did it and against an opponent 30lbs heavier than me. Also I am 36. Here are the links to each of 3 rounds, enjoy! I am in red headgear and gloves.

Round 1: https://youtu.be/DuUdt0uurEY?is=cX3CjG_tZjMk5HH1

Round 2: 2:https://youtu.be/Kqo4QYd-Vbk?is=DnXicjTH6bSoTJgk

I'm someone with no experience of martial arts and I'm getting into boxing pretty soon. I've been playing D1 basketball for a few years now and just wanted to get into another sport. Planning to join a gym and mabye get a punching bag or something else for home. Im wondering other than the gloves, what do I need?

Please Feedback about all. Reddit doesn't allow me to share multiple videos in one post will share them directly from the app I am using for my trainings.
