Break down the Philly Shell defense for me.
I have not seen many boxers use it. To be honest, I first learned about from playing Fight Night 1, 2, and 3(this was before I started training).
I do not watch boxing often, only every now and then because I am way more into mma. I still watch a good amount of boxing.
So what are the basics of the Philly Shell style defense? Thhe only fighter I have seen use this very effectively is Floyd Mayweather. How does it work? I know the point is to roll your shoulder with their punch, but what is it that makes it effective when used properly?
Why is it not taught in most boxing gyms, I know at my gym we never work on it, and from what I have asked friends who have trained other places they did not really work on it there either.
Can someone just basically break it down for me, how it is used, how to use it effectively, maybe drills I can work while sparring ect.
I appreciate any feedback, thanks.
