Boxing Tips - 3 Tactics to Beat a Stronger Boxer

https://www.myboxingcoach.com - It is always worthwhile having the right boxing tactics for dealing with an opponent who is stronger than you. This boxing tips video will show you exactly how to be successful against strength.

The physical strength of a boxer is often a key factor in a boxing match. However, it is not something that should always govern the outcome.

Physical strength does not necessarily equal punching power, so do not confuse the two things.

Often the thinnest and most wiry of opponents carry the most crunching power.

Physical strength is about being able to push an opponent back, often literally pushing them back.

The 3 Boxing Tactics to Defeat Strength

Leave your ego outside the ring. Boxing is not a match of strength, great boxing skill will more often than not lead to success. If the opponent looks physically powerful then it is likely that they are. Test the strength in the opening exchanges then be prepared to apply tactics accordingly.
Be willing to give up ground, but always exact a price. Control your range, be prepared to push away from the opponent but do so whilst throwing punches. Don't sacrifice ground without landing your shots on the way out.
Don't become involved in a wrestling match at close range. Trying to overpower a stronger opponent by wrestling them at close just doesn't make sense. If the opponent seeks to lean on you or push you back, give the ground in short pushes. Use short range uppercuts and short range hooks and mix it up with pivots to deflect their line of attack.

The interesting thing about stronger opponents is that once they tire their strength can ebb away at an alarming rate. These boxing tactics will help you confuse and tire the stronger opponent.
