No you guys missed one! Carnage 😉😆

1. Have great cardio, or at least better cardio then your opponent. 2. Stay calm and focused so you can cleanly execute your skill-set. To assist in getting calm is doing chill padwork before the fight. 3. Have strong defense so that even if you only have a couple of significant strikes, your opponent doesn't get any strikes at all. 4. Throw your shots to land specific targets and aim to surprise your opponents. If they don't immediately have openings, create openings through combinations

Victory tip #1 is so damn true. I just did an IKF where I won my first bracket via decision, but the fight left me so gassed that even with an hour rest between, I was so tired that a lot of my fight IQ went out the window in my second fight, and my opponent was fresh and had not fought because it was a 3 man bracket. My hands dropped after a teep I overcommitted on and then he dropped me Next time you talk to Icy Mike ask him about Austin's fight he was commentating it lol

Keep it simple, for sure. Remember a boxing coach on KZread telling of a lad he trained going into his first fight, and getting battered in the first round. Kid didn't want to go back out, so coach told him to do nothing but defend, move and jab, no other strikes. Lad went on to win the bout and blossomed as a fighter. Fran Sands is the coach's name, he also has a great channel.

That is awesome! Keep racking up those victories.

Thank you, Champ. I saved this to one of my playlists. I'm a very dedicated and true boxer that actively competes. I love your tips, Gabriel. Also two of my biggest influences as a boxer are Ronald "Winky" Wright and Dmitry Bivol. They are very fundamentally sound boxers, with great technique, that stay defensively responsible. I also utilize a high guard defense. Both fighters have shot gun jabs, and are very relaxed. Another thing that I do Gabriel, is I have downloaded some of Winky Wright's fights and Bivol's fights. I watch them after or before I train at .50 of 1/2 the normal speed. This helps me visualize what I will do, and be more effective and creative in the boxing ring. Thanks and God bless you.

Fricking awesome, thanks for posting Varga!!

Fantastic video!!! Thank you for this.

Gold. Thanks Gab. 🙏🙏

Que des supers conseils ! Big Thanks !

Not only do I appreciate this video, I appreciate you as a whole Gabriel! You’re the man!! ❤

Awesome advice! Clear, concise and easy to follow. I have a medieval combat tournament coming up and all of these ideas transfer.

Really needed this, thanks Gabriel. Really looking forward to the video about eyesight. That's something I struggle with.

Lack of composure cost me my first fight. My first fight I started super calm but when I got hit too hard, my mind suddenly went blank and I tried to get payback. I got too aggressive, got hit unnecessarily, used up too much energy. It happened too many rounds and I lostby decision. It was awhile before I fought again, had to master myself and how I maintain focus.

You’re the absolute best martial art channel bro,I relate so much to the reason num 2,I usually kill everyone in the gym but in the ring I was nervous,but recently I found out that I wasn’t calm ,when I changed that I started performing close to my gym level

Thank you sooo much! I really apreciate your content, it's very helpfull. My first kickboxing fight- this Sunday so thank you twice as much man :)

Dude, your channel is gold. I do Brazilian jujitsu and this helps me and my sport really I love your channel. You are very articulate and well thought out. I really appreciate you putting this out there. Thank you.

I saw you using the adjusted roundhouse kick to block IcyMike from Hard2Hurt from encroaching and I loved it; use your knee and bar them with the blade of your shin to stop them in their tracks from scooting too close! Loved it!

This video is so underrated. It was so damn useful and informative! And, I live in Phoenix, while the coaches of boxing and mma and kickboxing are good, I've never heard some of them say what you say in this video. Crucial stuff. Appreciate it, coach!

Sorry Gabriel but no matter how many of your videos I watch the Wife still wins lol. I would like your opinion on something that doesnt get brought up much, and that is how much the environment and not just the fight affects your performance. For example some rings are built different with padding and such. Also some fights for me were under darker lights than others, just little things like this that most dont take into account or mostly will never know was a thing. Not only do I have to focus on traveling to the arena, my gameplan, which spot on the fight card am I, my opponent, the rules, language barrier(if there is one) pre med checks, but now the environment that Im in. Some promotions even have you do some theatrics or showcasing to boot. Thank you for sharing some of your insight with us and for promoting a positive community in the fighting world.

Excellent video. I haven't had any fights, but all of these help me spar much better than my actual skill level should allow 😅 (Also love how these feed into each other; at least for me, being mindful to think through what I'm doing also helps me to stay calm and keep defensive awareness, both of which help me leverage my good stamina to wear my partners down 🙂)

Being calm was the biggest difference in my first fight i believe, i just remembered to stay calm and calculated in the exchanges and was able to adapt

Right now im injured but im looking to make a strong comeback, your videos helping so much champ, greetings from Chile.

indeed friend same as me i have a smoker 4/15 the biggest difference between last fight camp and this one is my cardio both on improving it and maintain it during sparring by being calm and collected and it has help a lot sometimes i still get a little nervous or scared but that usually against the pros at my gym or heavy opponents start fatiguing myself but the way i get around it is i tell myself you might get hit but if so your gunna hit them harder and more in return (not really harder in sparring) and doing so has help me significantly

Thank you.

Tip #1 and Tip #2 are sooooo important for up and coming amateur or pro fighters. I learned this the hard way in my first/debut kick boxing match. I went out guns blazing in the first round completely lost my composure because I was desperate for the knock out, didn’t even bother sitting on my punches, ended up gassing out by the end of it, and was entirely on the defense round 2 and 3 because of how gassed out I was. lost the fight by decision. I do believe I was much more skilled than the opponent I was facing but in the end it didn’t matter because 1 he had better cardio than me, and 2 he kept his composure and used what he knew how to use.

You have helped me a lot throughout my training. Thank you
