Purpose

Stops the boxer admiring the 1-2.

Setup

  • Coach presents targets and controls rhythm
  • Boxer starts balanced, completes the sequence, then returns to guard

Run it

  1. Boxer throws 1-2
  2. Coach immediately touches back
  3. Boxer slips or lays back, then jabs out
  4. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Punch
  • defend
  • punch. Check the purpose: stops the boxer admiring the 1-2

Scale it

Add pivot after jab out.

Common faults

  • Coach overfeeding
  • boxer punching too hard
  • wide hooks
  • dropping hands after combinations

Amateur relevance

Pad work should transfer into clean scoring, fast responses and visible control in amateur bouts.

Use it

Run at rhythm pace first, then add one layer: speed, movement, counter, exit or coach call.
