Plant yourself on the ropes purposely and see what they do the first time. Look for the holes, and the second time you go on the ropes, take advantage of them. Made popular by a young James Toney, and made famous by Floyd Mayweather , the Philly shell is a very effective style for the defensive-minded fighter and counter puncher.
It makes slipping and sliding away from punches super easy if you get good at it, the problem is that its efficiency takes away how much you can put into your punches. Whereas the traditional stance is a good balance of defense over offense, the Philly shell is very much a defensive-minded stance and can take away from your offense. The philly shell is a very hard style to fight because they give very little openings and only open up when you open up for a counter.
Because of this it can be a game of cat and mouse depending on what strategy you want to take. The first way is to get really close and get rough with them. For example, you want to shoot the right hook over the top, then left hook the body. You want to keep setting up different shots in this manner on the inside, being really aggressive and frustrating them into trying to get you off of them by opening up, and countering them in the process. The other strategy is to play a patient game of chess and make your punches count.
This takes intuitiveness and boxing smarts to pull off. Basically what you will be doing is a lot of quick strikes and feints to determine how they react to you throwing certain punches. Keep getting coutnreed and sliding the jab off, then step short on the jab and shoot the overhand right down the middle before the jab is extended all the way. This way you catch them right at the moment they shoot the right. To see an example of this watch the last five seconds of round 3 in Maidana vs Mayweather 2.
If you noticed that I mentioned Mike Tyson more than anyone else in this book, you knew I was going to cover this eventually. If I have to be honest, it almost seems like it was made for someone like Mike Tyson. A short, but strong guy, who can pack a punch. The peekaboo is definitely for the offensive-minded pressure fighter, but one who looks to take minimal damage on the way in. The stance can look similar to the traditional; stance, except shoulders and hands, are higher with a slight lean forward and more bounce on your toes and knees.
The goal is to pressure your opponent with high intensity, forcing them to throw a punch into a counterpunching opportunity for you as you are already on the way in. The step in and then the punch, which is easier for a taller man to see coming. With the peekaboo style, it constantly puts them in a retreat mindset and puts you a step in, forcing them to commit and opening them up for a powerful blow.
The downfall of this style is that it is a very taxing style. It can gas you out fast so you will need to be in tremendous shape.
It also constantly puts you in the line of fire so you have to perfect it in the gym in order to avoid paying the price. Most guys that do the peekaboo are confident in their power and their chins. What you want to do is to steal their condense in regards to other aspects of their game early. FRustration will be the name of the game here. Make them miss, make them pay constantly in order to steal their momentum early in the fight.
Your job is to kill that momentum. What most fighters do when their opponent charges at them is get on their bicycle and start running backwards, matching their momentum in the opposite direction. The worst case for these guys is a brick wall. Stop them in their tracks by stepping into them and smothering them. This may sound counterintuitive, but you want to meet them on the inside, land a few good blows and send them on their back foot. They will fight hard to change the momentum to a forward path, your job is to keep smothering them.
Despite the fact that they are easily overwhelmed by a boxer who swarms or crowds, an out-boxer is cautious. They play the game their way, making smart decisions about where to strike and when, rather than wasting their stamina with quick flurries of punches. They are light footed, energetic boxers who wear their opponents down.
They are distance runners, rather than sprinters. Because they make only carefully calculated moves, out-boxers usually get higher scores, as they make fewer mistakes. Knockouts are possible, especially in long bouts, after an out-boxer has taken the time to wear their opponent down.
Sometimes called the crowder or the in-fighter, the swarmer is a boxer who endeavors to beat his opponent by being both very defensive and by putting consistent pressure on that opponent. They just keep punching and punching, giving their opponent little room to get a punch in edgewise. This is one of the more difficult styles to achieve, as it requires nearly perfect form and the stamina to continually apply pressure to the other fighter.
Most boxers endeavor to achieve the status of a swarmer, but it takes years of training to perfect the form and the technique required to really overwhelm an opponent with punches. Because of the time required to get up to this skill level and to build the necessary stamina, most boxers who claim the swarmer style have comparatively short careers.
It is difficult to maintain, as it requires constant training, and it is easy to fall out of, which leaves to boxer open to punishing hits, which can further shorten their career. Most boxers who use this style do it by closing in on an opponent and then sending out intense, fast uppercuts and hooks. As they are throwing these punches, they also have to be able to avoid whatever punches their opponent is sending out. Because it usually takes a moment to get into the right position, these boxers either have to be able to withstand many punches before they can start throwing their own, or have to be swift enough to first evade, and then move inside their opponent.
The most effective swarmers are short or have short arms. Most of these boxers adopt this style out of necessity, as their shorter arms require them to get in close to their opponents in order to land the hits they need in order to win. And it requires speed, precision, and good planning.
And out of all that emerged many different types of boxing. There are those who look to avoid hits and wait for their opportunity. While others employ a more direct approach and look to corner the opponent. Here are five of the most common types of boxing styles. Both offense and defense are equally as important in boxing.
But, some fighters choose to focus more on offense. It makes for a much better show. And keeps the opponent on the back foot defending. This is one of the most popular types of boxing. The goal of a pressure fighter is to unleash as many hits as quickly as possible. The negative side of this style of boxing is that it takes a lot of energy to sustain your momentum. Each swing uses your energy.
And you need to keep up if you want your technique to be effective. Therefore, it requires a lot of endurance and stamina. To achieve the kind of strength needed for this technique fighters focus on cardio exercises. That way they will be able to keep up with this demanding boxing style. And emerge from the fight victorious. This type of box is the opposite of the pressure fighter. Instead of pushing forward with attacks, out-boxer focuses more on keeping the distance from the opponent.
And uses that distance to his or her advantage. This technique is great for those with long arms. As it will allow you to stay back but still land good punches. This is one of the types of boxing that requires very good discipline. And a precise technique. The slugger will pay little to no attention to tactics in a match.
He or she will rather use brute force to defeat the opponent. And taking a good amount of hits is the part of this type of boxing.
