A Boxer in need of help?

i have been boxing for 3 months, i am 5,2 107 lbs. I'm built for speed and have very good conditioning, running 2.5 miles a day. I like to be a presser someone flowing them in there tracks the hole time, I need to know what can i do to be a better BOXER not just a good faster puncher. Can you help me?



If I understand your question fully, you want to be a better boxer..... as in boxer-puncher, vice brawler-slugger?..


Well assuming that you practice good physical conditioning for that of a boxer, this shouldn't be a problem once you're comfortable enough while in the ring with another person and able to think..


Since you're 5' 2" @ 107 lbs and assuming that you're relatively young, fast hands is an inherit gift that you already have so now you're thinking of expanding your style or increasing your skills..


Well, if you don't have a trainer, it would be quite helpful to get one so that you can go through some various punching combinations and countering techniques..The watchful eye of a trainer will also help you learn more quickly, what is good and what is bad, rather than learning through trial and error while somebody is beating you down in the ring!


These are some of the elements of a good boxer. Quite naturally you can never be sure what your opponent might present so as a good or well-rounded boxer, it will be wise on your part to drill constantly so if and when you should get too tired or unable to relax (which is often the case), your punching and maneuvering will occur instinctively...


The mitts, heavy-bag and maybe even the "Crazy-Bag", are all good to pracitice your combinations.. Of course the "jab" is the most fundamental punch for a boxer.. It is the beginning and end of nearly every combination that you execute..It also considered the most important punch, both offensively and defensively to a fighter..Whether backing-up or advancing in a forward motion, the jab is one if not thee, most essential weapon in a boxer's arsenal.. Exempt from most fighters today so it is becoming a rare yet forever useful weapon in the sport of boxing but those who find it most effective, are the few who have come to believe in their abilitly to execute and effectively use the jab...Finding and knowing your range, is another important element of a good boxer..Equally important is the art of executing "feints". Feints will not only allow you to rest a little but it will also keep your opponent at bay and on edge with minimal effort on your part.


No matter who you are and how long you've been boxing, the jab can never be perfect and yet always improved..I hope I've passed on some useful advice?.. Good luck!




So basically you want to be a pressure fighter? Pressure fighters are always punching most of the time and have good defense. You have to be well conditioned to be a good pressure fighter since you are usually trying to close the distance between you and you opponent and getting shots in close. You are constantly punching most of the time and trying to avoid being hit. The best way to become a good pressure fighter is knowing how to cut off the ring and using good angles. Don't let your opponent work off from you. Cut him/her off. You do this by walking the opposite way he/she is walking. If your opponent is trying to circle right, you circle left and cut the distance. You want to trap him/her on the ropes or corner so you have an opportunity to punch. Make sure you give yourself room to punch as well. Being too close cuts your power away and gives you no room to punch. Make sure you are constantly moving your head and keeping your hands up at all times, obviously if they see you coming to them, they will try to jab at you and throw more punches. You have to have good defensive skills to be a pressure fighter.




Read body language. Anyone can throw a punch. A good boxer can read body language and learns when to hit,move,duck,block. Footwork is key also. It all comes together




put on weight...my mom weighs more than you.
