    Great info coach. I like the horizontal block. I saw a fight recently where Abraham Nova used this technique against O'Shaquie Foster. Foster went for the hard right hand and Nova used the horizontal block. Fosters right bicep hit the elbow of Nova and caused and injury to his arm which made the fight much tougher on Foster.

    This defense is called Lan Sao in Wing Chun Kung Fu. The Mongoose Archie Moore was a master using it. Thanks for share such piece of wisdom!

    I’m stealing all of this 😂. This coach is gold for other coaches to boxers. A wealth of knowledge.

    Rigondeaux actually uses this technique really well and he basically substitutes it in place of his jab as the main use of his lead hand.

    If You watch old Floyd fights, back in the Olympics and his first 10 pro fights, Floyd uses a more squared off stance with the Philly shell.
