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.
