Feinting in Boxing

Reviewer Save this one — this is how feinting should be taught.

Moderator A deep, structured lesson on feinting through the lens of rhythm — half-beat, long-beat, how and when to feint, how to calibrate to your opponent. About as squarely on-skill as this batch gets.

Reviewer Explains not just what to do but why it works on the brain.

Moderator Builds the whole lesson around rhythm and feints as the 'bridge' between punches — squarely on-skill and thorough.

Reviewer Best of the bunch -- concrete techniques plus the fight IQ behind them.

Moderator Comprehensive and entirely on topic -- what a feint is, the three reasons to use one, when to feint (calm, not mid-flurry), how to set one up (condition the real punch first), then runs through concrete types: jab feint, double/triple, rear hand, elevation change, probing, shoulder feint for the Philly shell. Nothing wasted.

Reviewer Edge of range, sell it, three ways to follow - that is the lesson.

Moderator Foot feint, hand feint, body feint, then combinations of all three. A feinting lesson end to end.

Reviewer Three feints, the shots off each, and the timing gap that makes them work.

Moderator Three boxing feints, why each one works, and what comes off it. Nothing but the sub-skill.

Reviewer Explains the why, the how, and gives you a pro to go study: thorough.

Moderator The clearest statement of the feint principle in the whole batch: condition with a real body shot two or three times, then once the opponent starts protecting the body, feint that same look and go upstairs instead, sometimes without even throwing the bait punch at all.

Reviewer Actually explains what makes a feint convincing, not just what a feint is -- that's rare and valuable.

Moderator All feinting -- how to sell it, the five types, and specific combo examples exploiting the reaction it draws.

Reviewer Four faults, each with the reason it costs you - fixes bad feints fast.

Moderator Four errors, every one of them a feinting error. Perfectly on target.

Reviewer Explains why you feint before how, which is the bit most videos skip.

Moderator Defines the feint, gives three reasons to throw one, then works through shoulder, step, double-jab and body feints. Squarely the sub-skill - the London sightseeing is cosmetic padding, not a change of topic.

Reviewer Real strategic depth here -- how to feint differently depending on the opponent you're facing.

Moderator All feinting -- types, timing, and a real strategic framework layered on top (read aggressive vs defensive opponents, respond differently to each).

Reviewer Small clip, real technique — this one's a keeper.

Moderator One specific, well-named feint technique — the delayed arrival jab — explained with the actual reasoning of why it beats a reflexive blocker.

Reviewer Shows how a feint gets sharper the more you've set your opponent up.

Moderator Entirely about using eye direction and a fake to bait a reaction. Walks through three reps of the same exchange and shows how the opponent's read changes each time, which is the feint concept in motion.

Reviewer Explains the why, not just the what -- good tactical depth for one technique.

Moderator Named, specific, real technique -- Canelo's rear-hand misdirection into a lead uppercut off the centerline. Gets to the actual content quickly relative to the other boxing clips in this batch and stays on topic.

Reviewer Short and dense -- the fire-after-you-feint ratio tip alone is worth it.

Moderator All of it is feinting -- the three basic types plus the crucial ratio advice. Nothing but the sub-skill.

Reviewer One feint, taught cleanly, with the shoulder drop that sells it.

Moderator One feint, taught properly, start to finish. Checks the stance first, which is right - a foot feint out of a bad stance does nothing.

Reviewer Good structure, actually explains the 'how' for once.

Moderator Explains feinting as the tool for breaking range and lays out hand/body/foot feints as a clean taxonomy — squarely about the skill.

Reviewer Same solid single-example feint lesson as the other copy of this clip.

Moderator Same clip as the other 'bluff your opponent' upload: full target-area setup, conditioning the response, then feinting into the gap. Entirely on-topic.

Reviewer One clean setup-and-finish feint, explained well enough to actually try.

Moderator The whole clip is one feint sequence explained top to bottom: why the whole torso is a target, why high guards can't punch with any force, then the actual setup — go to the same spot two or three times, then feint that same look and finish somewhere else once the hands drop.

Reviewer Concrete, useful trick — worth two minutes of anyone's time.

Moderator Squarely a feinting lesson start to finish — feint intensity vs reaction size, feinting to the body/knee to drop the guard, then landing the over-the-top cross. Real boxing content, no filler.

Reviewer Good, concrete cues on the jab feint once you get past the channel-update preamble.

Moderator Defines what a feint is, why you'd use one, then gets hands-on with a specific jab feint breakdown in front of a mirror. Entirely, squarely about feinting.

Reviewer Explains the exact way a feint punishes an eager parry: genuinely useful detail.

Moderator Framed around correcting a parry, but the actual teaching point is how a feint is used to bait that exact parry and expose the door it opens. That's feinting from the receiving end, still squarely the subject even if 'parry' is in the title.

Reviewer Solid idea, just say it once and move on.

Moderator All feinting, all the time — walks through exactly what happens when the opponent rolls or blocks the feinted right hand and how the hook exploits either reaction.

Reviewer Solid concept, worth watching more than reading.

Moderator Walks through conditioning an opponent's response with repeated body touches, then cashing in the feint for a hook over the top — that's the core feinting idea in action.

Reviewer Decent checklist, but it's telling not showing.

Moderator A straight rundown of what feinting is and why boxers use it — controlling the opponent, looking busy for judges, setting up punches. On-topic throughout.

Moderator A straight rundown of what feinting is and why boxers use it — controlling the opponent, looking busy for judges, setting up punches. On-topic throughout.

Reviewer Good nuance on a specific use of feinting, but you'll need the video, not just the audio, to get it.

Moderator Entirely about using a feint -- specifically to close distance before a combo -- with live one-on-one correction throughout.

Reviewer Best one-line definition here - half the technique - then it is just reps.

Moderator The feint sets up every combination shown and it opens with a definition of a feint. Boxing hands throughout despite the gym name. Half the runtime is rep counting, but the subject never moves off feinting.

Reviewer Decent 'stay unpredictable' message, just messier than the better clips here.

Moderator Despite the caption noise, this stays on the same setup-then-feint idea as the rest of the series: full body's a target, condition a reaction, then feint into it and finish elsewhere, with an extra nudge toward being inventive rather than running one script.

Reviewer Good timing tool shown clearly, but again it's a teaser, not the full breakdown.

Moderator Same channel, same topic -- entirely about a feint, this time the micro-pause before the third punch in a 1-2-hook. On-topic.

Reviewer Real technique in a small package, but it's a teaser for paid content, not the full lesson.

Moderator Short clip, but every second of it is the feint mechanics for setting up a body shot -- hand up, drop without retracting, footwork closing distance in two steps. On-topic.

Reviewer Sounds like a legit drill if it's taught the way it's described -- good structure, can't verify delivery.

Moderator This is a feint drill through and through -- chaining a hand feint with a foot feint into a combo. Exactly what 'feinting' should mean for this sport. No filler, no unrelated technique creeping in.

Reviewer Short and worth it — one real trick, no filler.

Moderator Short but on the nose — feint to the body then come up with the straight right, changing levels and angles. That's the sub-skill.

Reviewer A couple of good timing cues lost in a wall of that's it.

Moderator The whole clip is feints on the pads - feint the jab, feint the hook, feint and shoot. Right subject, but it is a session being filmed rather than a lesson about feinting.

Reviewer Gold on why you feint, thin on how, and half of it is kicking.

Moderator Feinting is the whole subject and the reads concept is the heart of it. But he is teaching MMA - one of his two feints is a rear hip feint to disguise a low kick, which does not exist in a boxing ring. Half the material does not transfer.

Reviewer The idea's fine, the delivery needs an editor.

Moderator Stays on feinting throughout — showing punches without committing, using every tool (hands, hooks) to bait a reach — even if it wanders.

Reviewer Good nugget from a real pro, buried under a long interview segment.

Moderator A huge chunk of this is a post-fight victory interview and corner praise before it ever gets to boxing content, and once it does, it's specifically the eye feint (misdirecting with your gaze) rather than feinting broadly. Real feint content, but a small, late slice of what's here.

Reviewer Short but sharp — explains why to feint, not just how.

Moderator Feints are explicitly one of the five named "fillers" and get real explanation (why to feint high/low/body, what it exposes about the opponent's defense) — a genuine, clearly delineated segment, just one-fifth of the video.
