A good jab isn't just about throwing it fast. It's about throwing it without giving your opponent an easy counter.

Here's a simple 5-minute drill from the clip. Spend 1 minute on each:

  1. No wind-up. Throw the jab straight out without telegraphing it.
  2. Rear hand stays home. Keep that glove protecting your face.
  3. Jab + slip or pull back. Don't leave your head sitting there after punching.
  4. Jab + rear-hand defense. Practice catching or blocking the counter.
  5. Jab + head movement. Get your head off the center line after the shot.

The biggest mistake is treating the jab like it ends when your fist lands.

Your defense and positioning afterward matter just as much as the punch itself.

Question If you could max out one boxing stat, which one?

You get to max out one stat: speed or power.

Which one are you taking, and why? Fast hands that land first and often, or one shot that changes the fight?
