Combos Of The Week: Week 11 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series
Welcome to the eleventh instalment of Combos Of The Week. This series is a complete recap of the Virtual Padwork library I built in 2023.
If you are looking for a structured way to learn about online boxing, this series will serve as a reference guide. Instead of hunting through a social media feed, you can find the technical sequences right here, grouped by week, to study in your own time.
Here is the breakdown of combos 71 to 77 from the archive.
Combo 71: The Slip Layer
Stance: Southpaw
This sequence focuses on layering head movement between offensive bursts. For the southpaw, it’s about slipping inside and outside the opponent's lead hand, ensuring you are never a stationary target while firing your cross and lead hook.
Combo Sequence:
Slip Left

Combo 72: Catch Catch 123
Stance: Orthodox
A clinical defensive reset. You parry a double-jab or a 1-2 with two sharp catches before immediately firing back with a classic three-punch combination. This drill reinforces the habit of answering back the moment the opponent's attack finishes.
Combo Sequence:
Right Catch
Left Catch
Jab
Cross
Left Hook
Combo 73: The 152 Loop
Stance: Southpaw
The 1-5-2 (Jab, Lead Uppercut, Cross) is a high-percentage sequence for catching opponents leaning in. Looping this helps a southpaw fighter master the weight shift required to lift the chin with the right uppercut and follow through with the straight left.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Right Uppercut
Cross

Combo 74: 1 2 Slip 2 Roll
Stance: Orthodox
This drill emphasizes safety after the attack. You fire the 1-2, slip the return, fire the cross again, and then roll to a new angle. It’s a sequence designed to keep you offensive while remaining impossible to pin down.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Cross
Slip Right
Cross
Roll Right
Combo 75: Elbow 632 Elbow 523
Stance: Southpaw
Adapted for the southpaw stance, this drill utilizes the "Elbow Tuck" to defend against body attacks on the inside. By using your arms as a shield, you stay in the pocket and create immediate openings for your own uppercuts and hooks.
Combo Sequence:
Left Elbow Tuck
Left Uppercut
Right Hook
Cross
Right Elbow Tuck
Right Uppercut

Combo 76: 643 532
Stance: Orthodox
This is a powerful "close-range" sequence. It moves through heavy hooks and uppercuts, focusing on the fluidity of your hips as you switch from right-side power to left-side speed.
Combo Sequence:
Right Uppercut
Right Hook
Left Hook
Left Uppercut
Left Hook
Cross
Combo 77: The Holyfield
Stance: Southpaw
The southpaw version of the Holyfield distance trap. By using the "skip back" and the "look," you disrupt the opponent's timing and tempt them to lung forward, leaving them wide open for the straight left cross.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Skip Back
Look
Jab (or Feint Jab)
Skip Back
