i block the two and close the hook and i'll roll it on this video i'm going to show you the single
best defensive move in boxing there's so many different ways to defend punches in boxing
and so many good ways there's a few bad ways on this video i want to talk about
all of the defenses but like i said i'm going to show you my favorite defense
my name is tony jeffries olympic bronze medalist boxer former undefeated professional
seven times national champion european champion welcome to my youtube channel
so in boxing you've really got two parts you've got the offense and defense you
want to be equally as good at both of them and for this video i've brought along my business
partner boxing fitness expert glenn holmes so the first defense is probably the most common
defense in boxing which is the parry i'm in there with glenn he's throwing the fast jab
i'm parrying it you see my hands coming out won't turning i'm parrying this is a really good defense
and the defense that we've got to use at some point all the time so i'm going to show you the
negative thing with this is if glenn thinks that she was two jabs then he feints a jab look what happens
that hand comes out one more time feint the jab he finished the jab my parry's coming out leaving
me open for a long left and i used to love to do this every time i got home with an opponent
who when i was throwing a jab the hand was coming out like this i was like yes easy battle it gets
smacked in the face with a big left hook now the next defense in boxing is the block so this
looks like this when Glenn's throwing the punches i'm blocking look he can't hit me how can he hit me
you can't get through you might be thinking well that's the best defense but no i'm not a
fan of this defense at all because i've got my hands on my face when he's thrown them punches
guess what i'm still getting that impact on me brain it's still rattling my skull you
do have to do this defense from time to time but it's not my favorite defense and i don't
really recommend you doing it all the time you're the peekaboo guard when you've got your hands up
high and you've got that peekaboo guard yeah i'm not a big fan of that and i've done a full video
on three different dances where i break down the peekaboo guard the philly shell and all that you
can click the link below and check out that video now the next defense is a slip another common
defense where i'll be slipping straight punches if he throws the jab at my head wow i've slipped
what was the one two slip slip i'm slipping now you might be thinking well that's a good
defense is that my favorite defense no it's not my favorite defense the reason being is when i'm
slipping punches i'm in range to get hit i don't want to get hit i don't want to be in range to get
hit do that is not my favorite defense although you do get out of the way of the punches and you
can throw some counter punches but with the slip you've got to really rely on your reactions now
let's move on to the next defense in boxing which is the roll r-o-l-l i've got a spell across from
the accent the roll and how we do that we're going to be rolling out the way of hooks so if
glenn let's just see he throws a two hook i block the two and throws the hook and i'll roll it again
i roll it yeah good defense right you might be thinking well again just like the slip i'm not a
fan of this because i'm in range for the punch so it's a good defense the roll you can roll left you
can roll right you can do a roll roll but again it's not the best defense in the world because
you're still in range now you might be thinking i know what the best defense is in the world it's
the lean back because you're not on range show so if glenn throws the jab throws the one two i'm leaning
back good defense right i'm not in range well it's not my favorite defense it's a good defense it's
better than the other ones because i am moving out the way and i'm throwing throwing up punches and
i'm not in range but so if he steps forward with the one two one boom boom boom i'm off balance
and he's going to land that last punch so again great defense the lean back you are relying on
your reactions but not my favorite defense of them all okay let's get on with it let me tell you what

me know in the comments below so my best defense of all time what is it well this is it right here
yes one more time in case you missed it simple right the step back is the best defense in boxing
and let me tell you why so i'm not in range i'm not getting hit let's see
we i am in range that two islands do one two and i'm stepping back guess what it takes all
of the sting out of the punch takes all of the power out of the punch because i'm moving away
if i'm moving away i'm out of range i'm out of danger when he's thrown that punch i used to
spar a lot with Carl Froch who was the wbc super middleweight world champion and he was a master at
this yes he would finally get his hands down but when you hit him he was always moving away and he
was always getting out of the way that punch which made it really hard to hit with a clean punch guys
