Long guard done right 🥊

Bivol uses the lead hand to control the distance, keeps the rear hand ready to protect the chin, and stays light on his feet to get in, land and get back out.

Bivol’s probably my favourite fighter to watch when it comes to the long guard. The way he uses it to control range, set up his attacks and establish control is just 🔥

Control the range. Hit without being hit.

Few pics from the other weekend when I was cornering our ultra white collar boxers - Always good to see people put 8 weeks of hard work to the test and step through those ropes.

Respect to everyone who had the courage to compete, and thanks to UWCB for having me. Looking forward to the next one. 🥊
