What to study

  • Ring positioning and exit control
  • Measured pressure entries
  • Range control before exchanges

What not to copy

  • Do not add pressure or output before stance and guard can recover
  • Do not drift around the ring without a clear jab or exit plan

Training translation

  • Use cornering and exit games that reward position rather than movement for its own sake.
  • Use guarded-entry rounds that reward taking space without chasing.
  • Use jab and exit drills where range is scored before any second punch.
