Teddy Atlas on How to Improve Your Jab | The Fight Tactics

[Music] let's talk about technique right let's talk about how important is habits in life you can develop good ones or bad ones good ones they're there for the bad weather they'll stay with you forever and secure you when you need them to secure you to help you bad ones well they'll haunt you at the wrong times at the worst times so this story and again i wanted to be a little entertaining for you all you know these true boxing stories brought to you by dynamic striking this was the one with tyson you guys would probably be interested in him i am mike he was starting to deteriorate it didn't completely catch up to him yet but he had left kevin rooney you know he had left no caton he was with don king he was with aaron so well j pride whatever his name is guys that really should have been training and so he was starting to dissipate a little bit but on this night it didn't matter you know why because he had a guaranteed win he had a guarantee i know there's no such thing as a guarantee but this was as close as you get he was fighting carl williams it was you know it was on network television maybe you guys remembers a long time ago and colin williams was a world amateur champion in amateurs i mean he was undefeated for a while and he was called call the truth waiters but the truth of him was there was one habit that was never corrected his trainer should have been arrested quite frankly but he never developed a habit when he took the jab he was a big tour guys jeff was going to be a very important weapon fan he never kept his right hand up he would drop it all the time all the time matter of fact going into the tyson fight if my memory serves me he had been dropped seven times in previous fights with the same punch left hook because the right hand dropped so tyson knew this so no matter what tyson oh he knew was i have to find a way to get close and throw a left hook and i'm probably going home and he was right i mean you you couldn't miss him it was like standing on a cliff over the pacific ocean and throwing a rock you can't miss it's going to hit water yeah and that's what this was and what happened was carl williams you know he's throwing the jab and he drops the right hand again so what does tyson have to do well he's got to put pressure on he's gonna close the gap and he's gonna force him to throw the jet that's the key so tyson came in forced him to throw the jab by putting pressure on he knew he had to keep him away and then he goes underneath the jab carl williams does this drop sorry tyson goes under the jab it comes up bang good night baby that was it so i just wanted to tell you that and before i have it for a little bit of a let me leave you guys with a good exercise if you're a fighter in this firefight and you want to keep that up you have a problem with it you know what you do i make my fighters shadowbox for maybe 10 rounds with just the left hand and hold their ear so they can't drop it so you develop that habit of keeping it up you might get a longer ear a little bit it'll come back but you won't drop your right hand even when you're hitting the bag just have a love glove and hold that ear here it is all right a little bit of a good exercise for you hopefully it's helpful hopefully you enjoyed the story call [Music] williamson [Music]
