At this point the author wishes to suggest some methods that the boxer can use when at a disadvantage and how he can overcome these disadvantages. These consist of various boxing tactics that are worthy of consideration by the boxer and can be included in the boxer’s training program whenever his trainer knows what kind of opponent the boxer will be facing.
A Taller Opponent
A common problem at present is that some boxers differ in their measurements, depending on the matches that a manager can arrange. In the case that the boxer must face a taller opponent, the following pointers are offered.
- Keep moving all the time. Don’t be a “sitting” target for your adversary.
- Constantly move forwards and backwards, jabbing to gauge distance and look for opening to attack. Or make front thrusts with your feet to the thighs of your opponent. These must be executed very rapidly-and then withdrawn to assume your
on-guard stance and steps. These also help to gauge distance.
- Having gauged distance and found openings, look for a chance to quickly move in for the attack and retreat just as quickly.
- Having moved in close, use mainly the knee, the elbow and the uppercut. The taller opponent fears close-in fighting – the means by which you can overcome his advantage. But don’t lower your head too much
- you may be asking for a knee kick.
A Crouching Opponent
Whenever you have to go up against an opponent who likes to crouch, if he is a tight and guarded fighter, you will have a few headaches. Some tactics for dealing with this kind of opponent are as follows:
- Using footwork to move to the left or to the right, look for a chance to land punches to his upper arms in order to weaken them, interspersed with blows to the stomach. Or you can use the front foot kick to the lower part of the body to break his guard and find an opening to deliver a jumping knee kick.
- Then move in close to look for an opening to follow up with 1-2 combination punches alternating with elbow strikes. When he raises his arms, attack with knee kicks to the body.
- After noting the point you have attacked and finding that, judging from your opponent’s reaction, you have landed a damaging blow, attack again with a combination of other weapons. But if you see that your combination of punches and knee kicks have been ineffective, go into a clinch in order to avoid a counter-attack by your opponent. When going into a clinch, though, you must be on the look-out for an upward elbow strike.
An Opponent with a Good Jab
The jab is employed for several purposes. These include gauging target distance or pestering or angering on opponent. Going up against an opponent who makes use of the jab requires constantly being on guard, staying loose and not losing your temper. In particular, consider the following advice. - You can duck, dodge or lean out of range of jabs. If your opponent uses a left jab you can block it with your right fist. When ducking, maintain a tight guard, ready to defend against a knee kick. And if you duck too low you may get a downward elbow strike to the head.
- When dodging r leaning out of range, raise your arms toward the incoming punch in order to block it. Then step in close to deliver a downward elbow strike to your opponent’s chin or nose and mouth. He may go down immediately.
- Also when ducking you can make a swift move in close or retreat to look for another opening. Or you can go for your opponent’s lower stomach with a front foot thrust or go for his upper chest with a front too thrust. Those will stop him too. Another tactic is to go after him with body blows when he is jabbing, since for most boxers who jab a lot the body is a vulnerable area.
- If the adversary puts up his left guard, look for a chance to go for his face or chin with your right fist, then close in and aim for his body with knee kicks.
- If an attack proves effective, follow up with fist-knee-elbow-foot combinations and avoid clinching. You must be alert for counter-attacks, however; carelessness means disaster.
An Opponent with a Strong Left
When fighting an opponent whose guard is the reverse of yours, if you slip up and can’t come back with counter-moves, then you will get hurt and lose. Consider the following advice, adapting it to your own particular style. It may be of some use.
- Approaching this type of boxer – one with a strong left – requires waiting for openings and not making the first move. You must try to draw this opponent out, tricking him into using his best weapon first in order to judge his techniques.
- Stay out of the ay of his left at all costs and in so doing beware of follow-u[ side knee kicks. Having safely retreated, make use of footwork to move to your left in order to make it difficult for the opponent to attack with a left hook or swing, or his left shin.
- Look for a chance to deliver a swift counter-attack with a straight right punch and knee kicks-such as the jumping knee kick-first, to the face or the body in order to block and further moves. Whatever counter-attack you choose, wait for the right opportunity. Don’t give away your tactics by making unnecessary moves. Always remember that even a light attack on target is better than a miss.
An Opponent with a Heavy Punch
This type of opponent strikes fear into the hearts of boxers. Take the case of Prayudh Udomsak, with the ring name of “Ma Si Mork”, who on three occasions challenged “Mat Say Fa Pha”, or Somdej Yontrakij, only to be laid out on the canvas all three times by his opponent’s “lightning strike left”, Prayudh had no recourse but to hand up his gloves. For the boxer who has to face this type of opponent, here are some suggestions for dealing with the problem.
-Try to use footwork to keep constantly moving around, never letting yourself become a “sitting” target, as when facing a taller opponent. Don’t give your opponent a chance to set up his attack. One tactic is to pester or “sting” him with continuous jabs in combination with ducking and dodging. Or you can use front foot thrusts when he comes in close. Stay alert to and keep your eyes on his every movement.
- When opening appears make a rush attack and retreat quickly to set up your defense, prepared to duck, or dodge his punch. Remember never to stand up to this kind of opponent and exchange blows. If he has no chance to set up his attack, you can find a way to make sudden, unexpected moves.
A Swinging Opponent
This type of boxer is usually inexperienced and untested, and has not yet developed his techniques. He will come out fighting, swinging both fists as hard as he can. As with the heavy puncher, never allow him to get in position. With a little footwork you can stay out of thee way of his heavy swings. And when he misses, it will take him a few precious seconds to get set again. Whenever he does, back off immediately. You can use front foot thrusts or jabs to the body and face to pester him and put him off balance. Constantly moving in close and then retreating will give him no chance to use his heavy swings. Moving to the left and then to the right to prevent his setting up an attack, you can get in the punches, strikes and kicks that will keep him frustrated.
No matter what type of opponent is to be faced in the ring, it is the duty of the training camp manager and trainer to study in details his boxing style and techniques. These findings should be incorporated into their boxer’s training program as quickly as possible if they want to avoid a possible loss.
In every fight, always remember to keep your cool and stay relaxed; carelessness will lead to defeat.
