Max’s Boxing Tactics

Use your brain. Success lies in out-thinking the opposition
Never underestimate your opponent, but watch their responses and look for his or her weakness
Do the basics well and vary your moves – don’t use the same move twice in a row
Learn the straight punches – they are more effective than hooks
Work on your footwork to be able to move forward and back easily and sidestep your opponent
Stay confident – don’t show weakness and keep on balance at all times
Keep your hands high and punching at close quarters
Keep your head down and look up through your eyebrows
Work on your speed, endurance, strength, flexibility and technique
Never stop trying
