Punch combinations in boxing

Boxing distance
Distance in boxing is perhaps the most important difference between a good boxer and an excellent boxer. It is an element that is difficult to teach and in itself can not be applied if it is not framed by complementary features.
Do we finally choose those we teach in martial arts schools?
There is a lot of talk lately about whether a Master should accept and teach people that he considers extreme and therefore dangerous for our society. But in order to answer this, not impulsively but substantially, we must first clarify some things.
Boxing rhythm - The music of the ring.
You will often hear coaches shout at their athletes, in games or training "catch the rhythm!". Many times, of course, they ask for it without even having taught it and of course there are very few boxers who have the talent to apply it.
Boxing fighting stance - Hands up or down?
There is a lot of talk about what is the most effective battle position for a boxer. The most orthodox boxing position with the arms up or the most open with the arms down (Mayweather type) and with constant changes in their position depending on the circumstances? Each has its advantages and disadvantages, so let's analyze them separately to clarify the landscape a bit.
Counter Punch, a great weapon
The counter punch is defined as the blow that the boxer performs at the moment of the opponent's attack. That is, with the one who is carrying out his attack, you must have already hit. This alone is not easy. It requires very good reflexes, the ability to predict its movements and perfect synchronization if you do not want to fall into the trap you set.
How to break the distance
One problem that boxers face is how to get close to the opposing boxer, that is, to "break the distance". This is quite common in beginners who complain that they can not approach without being hit. The difficulty increases sharply when we are dealing with a higher opponent so we also have the disadvantage of distance.

Tall boxers vs Short boxers
The physical characteristics of boxers are also what determine the way they fight. So their physical "qualifications" must be combined with mental and intellectual gifts that will allow them to make the most of them. Also the coach should apply such training to combine all this in an effective way for the boxer to fight.
Three exercises for better footwork of the boxer
Anyone who has really mastered boxing will tell you that the last thing we use in it is the hands. If so then what is the first? Of course it is the legs. From these begins the correct position of the battle, the transfer of power to the blows and in general any movement of the boxer in the ring. Therefore, great emphasis should be given by coaches and athletes to good footwork in training.
Straight punch - the technique of hitting
Directs are the most basic boxing blows. They occupy 50% - 80% of the total strikes performed by a boxer in the fight depending on his style and physical characteristics. The left direct (jab) also has approximately the same ratio in relation to the right.
Uppercut - the technique of hitting

Shadowboxing for boxers and other martial arts
The boxer must simulate all these feelings and thoughts he has in a fight. This gives him the luxury of working on techniques on a mentally constructed opponent, without having the "cost" of hitting a real one, working on techniques that in realistic conditions would be very difficult for him to apply, offering him valuable familiarity.
The ethics of boxing
Boxing by its nature contains great moral elements that even when not mentioned by the coaches many times, manage to pass on to the athlete as a special culture.
Can you change the fighting stance in the ring?
Traditionally, coaches have told their students not to change battle positions during a match. The issue, however, is not whether we can do it, but whether we should. After all, this sport is not dance or gymnastics, so no judge will judge you because you did not stay in a battle position. However, switching positions is a high risk, but also a potentially high reward move, as it can knock down the opponent.
