Chapter 2 – Examples of Boxers with Phenomenal

                Footwork













































                A wise boxer watches tape of his adversary before their bout to familiarize
                himself with his opponent’s tendencies in the ring – subtle tells like dropping

                a hand before they throw their signature left hook, information on what they
                do when backed up against the rope, which direction do they like to circle?
                … are they a head-hunting style of boxer? Or do they prefer to be a little bit
                more passive… waiting to unload that monster counter punch when you go on
                the offensive?

                You don’t have to be a competitive boxer with a bout lined up to study

                tape… if you truly want to take your boxing footwork to the next level, I
                recommend performing the drills found in the later chapters of this book
                while also watching displays of greatness from the following fighters. I
                recommend jumping onto YouTube and typing in the boxers name followed
                by ‘highlights’ or ‘footwork’. Then sit back and watch poetry in motion.
