Do you got any questions or video requests? Comment down below!

Been binging this guys videos for the past 3 days. Learning so much that i almost feel like a Thief with all this free training. Ive actually watched this guy fight awhile back with my Dad ( R.I.P ). We would watch this guy and the other british guy who unfortunately got destroyed by Paquiao and Mayweather. Dont know how i forgot his name but he was fun and hype to watch up until those 2 fights lol

[shaem]

Thanks mate I'm starting my boxing journey at the late age of 28 so I have alot of fundamentals I want to catch up on and get right and this channel is a god send. Happy holidays!

[MrStaffy]

I'm fairly short and before I started exercising and training for boxing, I've been severely underdeveloped musclar wise and weight wise all my life. I'm 5'4 and 120lbs. Squaring up for peekaboo stance when the situation arises is a thing I so situationally since mixing things up is always good in my book. Thank you for this video, I'm a beginner and am often put off in my local boxing gym as I'm the "smallest" guy there.
But seeing people like Naoya Inoue and for a fictional reference, Ippo, I am motivated by such.
Just rambling, but this video helps a lot, so thank you Tony, for raising the next generation ;)

[dwaynecunningham]

I don't even box. My Sensei is the one who told me to watch your videos. He always says in jujutsu, inches are miles. I guess it's the same in boxing. You pack so much information into such a short video, it's amazing. Keep it up!!!

[GLPitt]

Depends on your style of boxing. Delahoya fought very square and was successful. Tyson fought more squared up. But it is better for a defensive fighter or counter puncher.

[salamangkali-allmartialart]

You're kind of right and I learned this the hard way against a national champ. 😅

[marricksinon]

This depends on your style, I'm a pure boxer so i 100% agree with this but if i was a short guy with a small reach this wouldn't do me much good since i wasn't goin to be outboxin anyone either way.

[Holstboy]

Why do coaches think there's only one way to box? By doing this you're sacrificing lateral movement and you're creating distance between your dominant hand and your opponent. Every style has their advantages and disadvantages.

[gtdriver]

Yup, tucked in, chin down, and knees slightly bent.
Although the single best thing I learned when I trained as a youth was balance. Balance allows you to shift your weight, plant your feet, and also make defensive maneuvers. Road work, jumping rope, anything that makes your legs and feet strong and springy, does wonders in a boxing ring.
Like a building, without a strong foundation, it'll crumble easily.

[Passion]

He is absolutely correct when it comes to boxing. When it comes to checking low kicks, it's better to have a more squared stance.

[okitomikira]

Sir you are a god-damn scientist.
I fight bladed stance instead of that faulty orthodox stance from the start.

Rotational power is big.
Also, fencing jab from the outside, with a Philly shell.
Cuts down the stamina loss of keeping your jab hand up so long. Lead punch tucked near the chin to block and counter at all times

And then I am a switch hitter so it keeps my profile small, keeps me outside and mobile, and keeps my arms fresh.


I’ve only been practicing by myself for like a month but my style feels SO comfortable and organic to me now that I trained up my left side for punches and kicks.

Grappling I cannot learn without a partner, but you have tremendously helped my level up with my striking, and I swear your hand wrapping video saved my hands and shoulders because once I got a heavy bag and a speed bag at my gym I DOVE head in.


Never had the opportunity to train before so this has been a life changer, and your channel has been a game changer!

[raymonddjojoseparto]

Great advice especially for a beginner. I haven't sparred in a while but this will remind me how to get hit less - thank you

[dianecenteno]

Great lesson and very true! Cross trained with boxers ( Jujitsu / Judo/ Kenpo practitioner) and the ones in the first open stance, were easy targets for leg and midsection attacks. The guys who stayed tight, were much harder to hit and faster with the counter punches! Good stuff! 👍👍💮

[kylemcmurtry]

Agree that it makes you harder to hit. But on the flip side it is harder to get more power on your jab/lead hook. Your rear hand now also has a further distance to travel.

[Killloius]

You're a star mate, love the energy

[neoasura]

Came for the boxing advice, stayed for the energy and accent. I could listen to this dude tell stories all day and never get bored with his enthusiasm.

[WeLoveBoxing]

Glad to watch your videos buddy, keep up the good work!

[js]

Tony you’re great because you get straight to the point, no waffle at the start

[Stelflip]

As someone who's on a weight loss journey and never boxed or hit a heavy bad in my life, you taught me much in just the 5 videos I have watched. Thanks man
