Wow. Jabs rarely knock guys out, so boxers should stop throwing them...
Depends really.I would throw a lot of leg kicks in fights before my coach told me to scrap that and focus on my better weapons.
I asked him why and he said: "Unless you have the power to finish a guy with leg kicks, you should focus on other strikes that will do more damage. A leg kick can easily be checked and even if you are a heavy leg kicker, it's very hard to finish a high level opponent with it and easy to get countered".
Unless you have Barboza type leg kick power, it should be used to set-up high kicks or sweeps. Leg kicking is a long term investment in a fight, you rarely see people finishing guys with it in the first or second round. The longer it goes, the higher your chances are for a counter.
Before Sherdog crucifies me for dissing leg kicks, I'm not. It's a great weapon, but it's a weapon that rarely finishes fights. It should be used to get your opponent thinking. You hurt him a bit, get him thinking low and you start going high. When he knows you are going high, go low again..etc etc etc.
Anthony Hardonk had a different opinion on that
You don’t know shit about fighting.
Nice leg kick by Irvin.
Appreciate the finger, but I was making fun of TS. Not you, my man.
This is why leg kicks aren't really effective.Shit thread.
Namajunas' flush power punches > Joanna's ineffective leg kicks. Namajunas slowing down had more to do with pacing and cardio than anything else.
1st: 10-9 Namajunas
2nd: 10-9 Namajunas
3rd: 10-9 Joanna
4th: 10-10 Draw / 10-9 Joanna
5th: 10-9 Namajunas
Depends on who you are fighting imo
Anyone who fights Nate Diaz would be silly not to blast his legs
Look what Jeremy Stephens did to Giblert
Gaethje limited MJs movement quite a bit by chopping at his legs
Nice leg kick by Irvin.
I think if Gaethje (sp) started mixing in takedowns and faking takedowns to set up strikes he'd make it up to at least to the top 4 in LW or perhaps even higher.You would think Gaethe could've gotten some easy takedowns with how damaged Poirier's legs were.
