What is your last resort startegy to to get off the ropes?

[Bill1234]

For me (its been effective so far) as soon as I'm in the corner for longer than 15 seconds, I just start swinging as fast as I can (typicaly to the body to back them up). But, this is sort of a last resort, if the person can bullie me back in, or just shoves me, and I know I can't get out anyway, thats what I do.

[Dennis]

Do a ''turn around'' move or counter and step away.

Last resort - know how to fight off the ropes!

I've seen a clip of Mayweather stuck to the ropes, the guy was throwing volleys of left, right, left, right, at him and Floyd is in half guard slipping each from side to side. The whole spontaneity of his back to the wall defense just looked like he was doing a wriggle... That was really nice defense.

[MrSmall]

Or Sugar Ray vs Hagler!

[jimmie]

Dont really know of my last resort but most of the time I try to fight off which is a bad move for me or try to slip a right hand and kinda run out of there.

That was against Lovemore N'dou. He was just twisting and turning depending on which side the punch came from.

N'dou was beginning to get beaten up, the end looked near but then he dug deep and came back with a huge barrage of punches. I think he threw 100 punches in that round!

[Relentless]

if i am really in trouble i would clinch and turn them around.

[SouthPaw_Swamer]

didn't Ali say somthing about that's were every heavyweight wants to be because it's easier to make the person ur fighting miss and get tired IF you can do it that is.

[amy]

15 seconds is way too long to be on the ropes. The ref will give you an 8 count before 15.

Thats my 2nd to last. I did that one yester day. The person was pushing me back and into the ropes. The first round I was able to push him around and bully him, but the 2nd round he really had a mindset to do that. At one point I was in the corner, and I spun him into it, but he slithered out before I could do anything major.

I don't mean getting pounded on, I typicaly won't give them a chance too. Of course then again, I just used the longest time Ive been on the ropes/in a corner. Really, the average for me is probably around 5-10 seconds. So on average about 7.

[Orishaman]

Well what I teach my boxers is what I like to call the "basketball" move, similar when you are driving to the buket and want to shake and bake your defender...counterstep, right go left, acnhoring yhour lfet hook to the body, as you go low....

[thunder06]

elbow or knee.

[P.4.P.G.O.A.T.]

Step in and pivot out. Either that or clinch and turn.

[bald_head_slick]

Throw a straight right, then follow up with a "shoving/clothesline type hook" and spin out with your rear foot pivoting on the ball of your front foot. Then sidestep, then drop back to the center of the ring.

Fighting off of the ropes is great. Guys get reckless and if you have a good jab and uppercut it is like a counter punch buffet. LOL.

I agree many times during sparring for me i would just paw my jab about and wait for the guy to punch me, usually when your up against the ropes people do tend to get sloppy and try to go all out, if you are quick, you can find just the right time to slip in an uppercut, hold and spin out.

But to be fair, if you arent a natural counter puncher this will be hard

[Tar Baby]

right uppercut , left hook and i;m out James Toney style

[RedDragonBoxing]

land a few uppercuts whilst keeping your head moving then slip out and turn them

[pahapoisu]

elbow or knee.
:lol:

[SILVIO_DANTE]

Dunno about last resort but this is the best thing to do:

Or just watch Toney v Barkley

[KillSomething]

Pick a side, push through them to that side.

[P.4.P.G.O.A.T.]

Sometimes I'll jab moving to my left, and alternate between jabbing and pushing with my left hand.

[jimbo7064]

lead uppercut, rear hook during the hook drag out to the side angle him off then its ur turn very unpredictable very effective popped a few guys blood vessels with that one

[curly]

Push up on their rear elbow and spin off or push down on their lead shoulder and spin off, puts them off balance.

[Slacker]

Push or clinch.

[bald_head_slick]

Since we are talking LAST resorts... Why not clinch? I find it strange that nobody ever talks about this and you even see seasoned pros who can't seem to do it.

Shoot into that fool and throw your rear arm under his arm and bring it up to your temple and then take your lead arm and put it over and hook his arm in a (headlock) arm lock. Hold on till someone yells break.

Clinching is a skill every Boxer needs. If you are stuck for 15 seconds? WTF! You are long since out of options.

[Chip]

If im sparring a shorter guy my last resort to get off the ropes or out of the corner is by pushing my partners head down with my forearm, this will either develop into a clinch and we'll get told to break, or it will give me time to move away.

[Rob10Boxer]

I'll do this all the time when I'm on the ropes and can't move, I'll clinch onto the opponent and throw him into the ropes.

[avk47]

If we're talking last resort, clinch, step out to your right or left (depending on which way you pivot), and pivot out spinning him into the ropes. You will most likely get a warning in the amateurs but we are talking last resort.

[wayneflint]

A little step ive heared refered to as the drop-shift, similair to a side step, give them a little somthing to push back against and then side step slightly forward and to the right (if orthadox) switching stance to southpaw youll be slightly turned away from opponent, then turn/pivot to face or throw a wound up right hand to face opponent again then left hook or uppercut to head or body, i like to use this in an explosive way to damage or to get respect and stop opponnts rushing me.

[Journey Man]

1st resort - Bounce straight off with a counter
2nd resort - Move along the ropes until I can get back into the centre
3rd resort - Move head and get him to miss so I can get away
4th resort - Try and turn him with head movement or shoulder
5th resort - Hold him until the referee moves us to the centre of the ring and warns me

[BoxinScienceUSA]

LAST resort?

kick him in the nuts and get disqualified.
