General Lesson A fighter can win the first movement and still lose the exchange. Defense cannot stop after the first beat. Each movement has to connect into the next state. To see the full sequence in motion, watch the breakdown on YouTube. 🤘 youtu.be/XZIGS7ikYsM

Marvin Hagler loaded the lead side first. That is what created the uppercut. Tony Sibson acted on the first beat. The problem was the second. That is where the movement pattern breaks down. Today, we’re going to rebuild the exchange into a partner drill we can actually run.

@SugarShane97 Before I kicked the bucket I had always wanted to do a triathlon. I signed up and 3 months out..I couldn't swim.🤣 I could doggy paddle at best. I realized if I couldn't figure this out I might die in a lake. So I trained..I sucked but I figured it out. You'll do the same 🤘

@boxingnotebook I don't think I'll ever stop boxing, but my chances as an amateur are closing pretty quickly. I always work hard in the gym, but outside of it I've not been disciplined so training becomes a fat camp more often than not.

I have really slacked on reading and writing this year. I think I have read two books and become very inconsistent on my Substack. I still enjoy it but since becoming a father my time has been so limited, plus I am giving actual boxing one last big push before I age out fully.

Why A Counter Is Available For Ali Had Liston thrown the rear straight: His head and weight would finish over the lead foot Ali’s head and weight would be over the rear foot On the next beat Ali would have a rear-hand counter available. Think: Rear Uppercut Rear Overhand

Today we’re going to break down a defensive sequence from Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston… then turn it into a safe partner drill we can actually run. →🧵

That allows Nelson to roll with the hook instead of taking it clean. The important detail is the ending position. Nelson does not stay planted over the lead foot. He exits by transferring weight to the rear foot. youtu.be/vvF_sC31rvU
