Sherbro’s help me analyse my opponent

[Dilaanf_]

-the fight is at 75 kg
-he’s the one in black trunks
-I’m fighting Him october 13th
-This was his first fight
-from what i see he’s southpaw and throws a lot of leg kicks and some head kicks and hooks

These are my 2 fights




I have decent reach and heigh advantage over him. He’s a little bit taller than my 2nd opponent(which is also his teammate).

Looking forwards to your tips

 

[Reyesnuthugr]

* Normally you can count on your hands to win but this guy is pretty good with his hands as well. I think you may be more powerful/strong but he's a little faster and more accurate (seems like) so you will probably have trouble with that, and I don't think you can rely on your current formula to win, I think he's got the upper hand by a tiny bit in that department if you go toe to toe.

* He's also a very fast accurate kicker, so as you get out of punching range expect kicks to the head and body

* The guy tends to be very linear. Forward and backward, no angles. You can use this to your advantage when entering, attacking and defending. Try entering not lined up to his attacks and (especially) leaving on an angle

* He's still vulnerable to well placed/timed punches. He got floored once by the other guy with a mediocre punch because he tends to lean back, especially when he doesn't have momentum moving forward (I don't think you have that problem so much but be conscious of it).

* Your opponent likes to flurry so once he gets started, be sure to exit by going back and sideways so he can't chase you and pile it on. He's pretty good at that and that's where he will likely beat you if you don't worry about it. I'm sure you're "tough enough" to take it a few times but it will add up on the scorecards and look really bad, besides wearing you down later on so don't play tough, play smart instead. Once he starts a flurry, back out of there in either direction diagonal-back and circle out of it. That's his major strength

* Attack first so he can't gain momentum. Don't tire yourself out, just engage first before he can. If he handles it well, circle and try again.

* I think he has good cardio, he doesn't seem to get tired so don't waste your energy going berserk unless he's falling apart.

* Be able and ready to fight while moving backwards (and circling) when he throws combos, especially at first. Fight him diagonally and on his side if you can get to it. Once he starts falling apart you can do your usual routine

* My advice (besides lateral / circling footwork) to you would be to work on sharpening your boxing technique and tightening it up so it's more compact. It shouldn't take months, you can probably do it in a few days if you're smart and get a technical boxing specialist (dedicated boxing trainer-- a very nasty and effective secret weapon in kickboxing) to side train with. That way you will get more speed and power quickly and be able to time him a lot easier. If you do that you will have the upper hand because he mostly relies on flurries and combos to get started. If you stop his combos early or before they happen with good timing you are already more powerful you will beat him badly.

* If you use footwork to make angles (not forward and back like he is expecting and used to fighting) he probably won't be able to adjust. Tightened up efficient hand technique PLUS controlled (practiced- it's something you have to practice and anticipate to time well) angular/ circular movement should really give this guy an awful time.

Good luck!

I haven't watched you fights yet but your opponent is pretty active. You need to slow him down with the jab when he is orthodox and counter his middle and high kicks with low kicks and follow with punches. He will kick less if you do this.

If he switches stance circle to your left and stay out of his filed by placing your left foot to the outside of his right foot. Here is where you have to counter his left punches with a powerful right cross. Faint a right hand and when he reacts to it pull back and out at an angle and fire the right hand followed by a right high kick.

Basically you need to slow him down with jabs and front kick so you can counter him and pick your shots.

I will now watch your fights.

 

[meauneau]

Watching you fight (had to pause it to type this), your jab is weak. It looks line an arm punch which is why your opponent doesn't respect it/isn't too concerned by it. You flare your elbow and lose power. Have your coach work on this. Stand next to a wall and throw the jab without touching the wall with your elbow. Learn to put your hip and shoulder into the jab. The jab should have all your body behind it, if one body part fall out of the line you lose power. In this case it is your elbow. Fix this asap.

Keep the forward pressure on......

Ok so I'm going to start off with your upcoming opponent.

He tends to throw off your reaction (so when your covering up, he'll throw an inside leg kick, and when your not covering up he'll throw an outside low followed up with some punches.)

A good counter to since you know this and you look a lot faster, try to just bait him in. But you have to do it the right way. So that he'll come just a little closer for the inside low kick, and hit him with that deadly hook you have.

Your fights:
You look good, but your a little bit of a brawler, you should try being more technical then pushing the pace a little more then the other guy. It might be good but you might want to feel this guy out for like 20 secs of the fight then start attacking let him attack of course throw a jab but use it more for distance.

That's just some suggestions you can play around with them a bit, and think of your own ways but just make sure not to brawl with this guy unless your going to take your head off the centerline, because you'll get caught with a well timed strikes and get knocked down that's what happened last night at Ufc 228.

I'm not gonna say much because I haven't competed, but I do train so I'm not talking totally out my ass. This guy's striking seems about your level while I think you had those other guys outclassed both in skill and agression. I think you should get as much better at blocking and cutting angles as you can in the meantime, so you can pick when to bang, instead of just going hard as a motherfucker the whole time.

 

[BillytheFish]

His opponent seemed fat.

That’s me you cock. Hope you’re training hard.

Yo @Dilaanf_ you better make a private message thread with all the people you know that can help you or this guy is going to know your whole game plan.

 

[shincheckin]

how far out is the fight? is it kickboxing rules?

If the fight isnt too far out i will make a suggestion for a new move to practice, if its coming close my suggestions would be to utilize your reach with straight punches...........use your teep! and lots of Right kicks to the body and legs. He did not check a single kick that fight. I also think if you just keep a tight guard you shouldnt have much of a problem defending his shots, just watch the uppercuts. You dropped her hands quite a bit in the videos you posted, so chin down hands up!

 

[Dilaanf_]

Thanks Guys i’ll keep all this in mind in my training. Really appreciate it

I forgot to say that his opponent Fell out and the other Guy was found 3 hours before the fight.

practice the 2nd one when he goes southpaw. also use your R kick to the lead leg thigh when hes orthodox, and to the body when hes southpaw. mix up the 2nd combo in the vid, low high, high low, high, high, low high, etc.



@DoctorTaco this is my fav against southpaws.

 

[IvanDrago2.0]

Keep him honest by checking his kicks which don’t seem to have much behind them and seem lazy at times.. work on a good crisp jab and keep moving and cutting off angles.. he tends to come forward quite a bit and has good hands but tends to leave his body open quite a bit .. his strong point is his hands .. attack the body as much as you can and check his kicks .. that’s what I’d do at least

[eternaldarkness]

When your opponent is southpaw he uses his right for a terrible jab/straight. Parry it with your left and counter with the straight right left hook. He's wide open for the left hook, so I would work on that the most. You stand to upright and stationary after you punch and are vulnerable to the right counter. Step back and to your right after throwing and you will eat less right hands. Overall I would say you have the much more dangerous hands, so I would be looking to keep his feet on the ground and throw punches. Also if you land good shots you try a little bit too hard for the finish. If you hurt him with the hands switch back to kicks or body punches and then go back up stairs.

i like that. Reminds me of eddie abasolo

 

[DoctorTaco]

Break it down round by round. Count how many of each types of attacks he throws. Count how many combos. Count how many times he ends with each strike type. Clock how many clinches he gets into and how much time he spent there.

Paint yourself a picture by numbers and then you’ll know what to expect.

i skimmed through everyones comments which are all well intended, i would just like to say and your probably already aware, a few weeks before a fight is not the time to be learning new moves, rather its time to make sure everything you already do have is sharp, and your physical condition has peaked.

Theirs a lesson to this thread though, I don't know if @Odysseus is actually his opponent but I am 90% sure that he is.

never post gameplans or your previous fights on a popular public mma forum.
