Aldo's great head movement and defense came from cuban school of boxing

Would he cool to see Aldo go to ATT or Jacksons full time.

Shut up you moron. If you don't understand that different parts of the world have different styles and emphasis (as In TS example) then you're proving how uneducated and inexperienced you are on the subject

Moron?, Uneducated? Inexperienced?. Well, here is a breakdown of the "cliché" Cuban boxing approach, Einstein.

http://www.martialartssparring.org/boxing-basic-fundamentals-the-cuban-boxing-school


The Cuban Boxing School follows an specific order to teach the boxing fundamentals, and there is a reason for it:
1.Guard position: The optimal position to start and finish any action. It is defensive by default. With a good guard you are protected against offensive actions and in the optimal position to attack and counter attack.

2.Displacement: Once the student controls the guard position, he can learn the basic displacements. What we call footwork. First the boxer learns to move forward, then backwards and later side-to-side. Once that is learned, the next thing is the pendulum step (“ el paso péndulo”). Guillermo Rigondeaux is a master at this.

3. To Turn: To pivot on one food to change direction quickly in any technical-tactical boxing action. The boxer has to learn to pivot to both sides, before he learns to punch. This was the trade mark of Pernell Whitaker

4. Straight punches: Jab to the head. Jab to the body. Cross to the head. Cross to the body in that order.

5. Uppercuts: Uppercut with the leading hand to the head. Uppercut with the leading hand to the body. Uppercut with the rear hand to the head. Uppercut with the rear hand to the body.

6. Hooks: Hook with the leading hand to the head. Hook with the leading hand to the body. Hook with the rear hand to the head. Hook with the rear hand to the body. Once you learned to punch, it is time to learn to defend from those punches.

7. Arms defenses: Parry and block

8. Defense with your body: Bob and weave

9. Defenses with legs: Side steps, backward steps and pivots.

Your goal as a beginner should be to master these fundamentals in the same order exposed here. It is sad to see boxers without the right guard and without a clue about footwork (the two most basic skills that any boxer should learn).



As you can see, defense and head movement isn't even on the top of their list.

It sucks that a beast like Aldo fought so recklessly
He just bit into his mouth guard and swung like a maniac to take Conor's head off lol

Well,at least we got to see one of the most iconic knockouts in MMA history

He did something similar to this before.

RDA does it sometimes too.

The idea is the opponent freezes trying to avoid the feint hook and then they get caught by the power hook.

Yeah but at least bring the other hand/shoulder back up and don't stick the head out so much. You can still get caught but it's not so obvious and stupid.

If Aldo did that in a boxing gym he'd be laughed out of the place.

Naw Aldo would be great regardless of the gym, he's just one of those guys.

Kinda like a Pacquiao, floyd, jones those guys would be great regardless.

Sometimes its the fighters that make the trainer buddy.

I too have been involved and competing in Silver Gloves (juniors since age 11) and Golden Gloves as an adult. I've had the pleasure to train at many gyms, both small/local gyms in Jersey and world class gyms like Church Street, Fight Factory, Trinity and Gleason's in New York. Defense and head movement in EVERY SINGLE one of those gyms set aside AT MINIMUM 30-45 min defense/head movement drills/training out of a 2 hour training session.

Every fighter is different and has their strong and weak points. But to say that "X fighter is training with Cubans, so their defense is going to be so much better" is retarded.

SERVED.
 
Is this the best time to be talking about Aldo's head movement and defense? He got humiliated two fights ago by a middle of the pack fighter.

He was pivoting so well against Edgar and in my opinion that's what won him the fight.

You do realize that "head movement and defense" are taught at EVERY FUCKING BOXING GYM ON THE PLANET considering that it's part of boxing, right?

You do realise that there are LEVELS to this shit right?

Aldo has been mainly working with his cuban coach when it comes to boxing.

And cubans have arguably the the greatest defense in boxing ever. The cuban school of boxing is almost military like and they perfect the art of defense.

Current champions who arguably the current best pure boxers today are Guillermo Rigondeaux and Erislandy Lara two guys that are virtually impossible to hit clean.

Hope Aldo comes in with that mind set in the mcgregor rematch cuz if he does he can make it a very easy fight on himself.

Damn! It's an honor to have a former ufc title contender here posting on these boards! Show some respect you bastards!

You won't find that same level of disrespect from me Mr. Florian!

Can I call you Kenny? Or would that be too brash?
