Simple way to get inside - great to close on a taller opponent

There are a bunch of ways to get inside, to get to close range, in a boxing fight. Sometimes though we often over-complicate matters and the simplest route can often be the most effective. This method of getting to close range, the duck and advance, is especially useful when you are fighting a taller opponent.

This is very good advice. Especially the very first sentence. Sometimes I sit on the outside and wonder how to get past the damn jab. Guard up and just a quick move forward and I'm in. Then I'm so amazed it worked that i forget to punch. Oh well.

THANK YOU!! I love your YouTube shorts!! You translate A LOT of info, technique, & practice knowledge so efficiently in this format!! Don’t get me wrong, I love the longer versions ones also👍🏼 I appreciate using these shorts for practicing drills & bringing in technique refinements—I save these in a playlist (or TM myself) so I can put several of them together & BOOM! I have an instant, tailored-to-me boxing workout!👊🏼😎💜

I have learned so much from you! Thank you!

Excellent, yeah don't FORGET Floyd Patterson's left hook ice job on Ingemar Johansson fight 2

[pepehorhae]

it'd also be a good set up for a single leg as well. nice.

I use the same technique, only I add a jab into it as im ducking and stepping in. Sometimes I'd slip left instead of duck but both work very well.

Roberto Duran was good with this, too.
Coach, speak upon defending the uppercut, as the short man, attempting to enter?

[bingsoo]

I screwed up doing this, I was too predictable and got caught by an uppercut - I gotta keep drilling
