Purpose

Installs the habit of finishing exchanges.

Setup

  • Coach controls distance, speed and pressure
  • Boxer reads the touch or target, answers cleanly, exits, then resets

Run it

  1. Coach attacks lightly for 3-4 touches
  2. Boxer defends, returns 4-6, exits and holds centre posture
  3. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

Last clean shot must be boxer. Check the purpose: installs the habit of finishing exchanges.

Scale it

Run in final 20 seconds of rounds.

Common faults

  • Turning it into a fight
  • feeding too hard
  • or letting the boxer memorise rather than read

Amateur relevance

This bridge work helps transfer drill skill into bout timing and visible scoring exchanges.

Use it

Use only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
