whats the consensus on Peek-a-boo boxing?
Just kick them in the leg.
not worth it unless you're trained by d'amato

This. It taught me to keep me guard up but made me telegraph everything else. Ippo makes it look pretty cool but there's a reason it's not generally used in pro boxing much any more.

That's not Lyoto Machida kicking Tito Ortiz's ass?

Get the fuck out of here retard.
>>879218
It definitely did. Before I started using it my hands would creep down until they were almost at chest level. Problem was my lead hand had to travel further and that made the rest of my punches have more delay. My coach made me stop using it and taught me other ways to keep my guard up.

ehhh idk I feel like having a really closed guard like that doesn't work as well without the gloves, you aren't going to be able to deal with any uppercuts/ body shots as well + gloves are big and fat, fists are small.
just my 2 cents
>inb4 hurrdurr he won't just let you punch him
I know, I'm just saying from a defensive only standpoint the guard's not as good without gloves

/ fucking thread
Unless youre in the D'amato stable/catskills or to a lesser extent trained by Rooney or Atlas dont bother training Peek-a-boo, everybody would just train you their 'idea' of peek a boo instead of the real thing

>mfw Wu mastered peek-a-boo within some month, then decided it's not suited for him anymore, because he's a pro now
>mfw I have no face that would suit here
>>880196
Never said I had mastered it. I said I used it to improve my guard, it made the rest of my game more telegraphed, and MY COACH told me to stop using it and taught me something more useful.
>mfw when your reading comprehension is worse than my kicking skills.
>feel so damn cool when training hitman-style on the bag
>it's terrible during sparring

Mike Tyson was a beginner?
Well that's the stance I always have. I'll try to change this I guess.
>>878303
well i mean if you want to get put to sleep go for it. Now I know your only way to defend and simply work around that. Fake to the head, eat the body, hooks, a nice upper cut etc
D'Amato style is the traditional peek-a-boo.
>>884681
yes it is but not the same 'peekaboo' trainers these day would teach people.
Tyson barely blocks, it was all about hte head movement and evne then he wouldnt have his hands the same way peekaboo trainers try to teach their students
It's pretty exhausting and only works if you have elite reflexes
Here's Tyson's trainer trying to use it v Alexis Arguello and getting KTFO
