Sun Sea and Shadow Boxing 🥊☀️🌊

😡 RAGING 😡

Mastering the jab is my fifth book released on Amazon and, once again, in my humble opinion, its one of the most informative boxing books out there. It’s also CRAZY cheap right now.

DM me if you want the link or search ‘mastering the jab’ on amazon and look for me throwing jabs on the front cover!

🧠 Don’t get me wrong, it would obviously be better if these fighters hadn’t lost - but in the pursuit of greatness, it’s better to lose (but try) than to never try and be protected for the whole journey. For me, a few things need to happen; firstly, these young prospects need to be WAY more active. Look to fight 6 times a year. Even if it’s an 8 round fight. Stay active and be in the gym year round. Keep the ring rust off and build your fight sharpness - not your weight lifting, sprinting or pad work sharpness.

Secondly, build your aerobic cardio more; roadwork, skipping, continuous punching on the heavy bag. Too much emphasis in the modern era is on explosive power (singularly executed) or on anaerobic fitness and VO2 max which doesn’t translate well to a 12 round heavyweight fight.

Thirdly; switch off all personal social media use and have someone manage it for them. They start believing their own hype and make bad decisions in fights built off of ego. Their online growth and progress can be managed by an agent. The key to every fight is to win it, however you need to. In the case of Itauma, trying to KO Hrgovic was all ego - poor strategy and ego. He could’ve jabbed Filip’s head off for the final 6 rounds and walked home a world champion.

Thoughts?

🧠 You can’t get them all right! That’s the name of the game - Itauma looked fantastic early but the mood shifted round by round as Hrgovic was still in front of him. A lesson for me; you can’t overlook experience.

🧠 We need to see MORE boring content - boxing isn’t all fun and games, excitement and energy. It’s about boring repetitions, repeated every single day, until you can’t do it wrong.

🧠 My prediction for the fight on - its a ‘step up’ for Moses, but the reality of the division is that the overarching skill level is so low that Moses skillset is more than sufficient to get him through. The problem is, how does he deal with Hrgovic’s aggression, punch resistance and the excitement and pressure of the event (which Filip will be more accustomed to).

🧠 A simple solution - work with a target in mind 🎯
