Combos Of The Week: Week 13 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series
Welcome to the thirteenth 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.
Combo 85: Slip 5252
Stance: Southpaw
A classic counter-punching rhythm for the southpaw stance. After slipping to the right (outside the opponent's jab), you return with a rhythmic lead uppercut and cross combination. This drill focuses on maintaining balance while firing multiple power shots from an angled position.
Combo Sequence:
Slip Right
Right Uppercut
Cross

Combo 86: Elbow Elbow 5632
Stance: Orthodox
This sequence reinforces inside-fighting defense. By using double elbow tucks to catch body shots, you stay compact and ready to explode. The transition from the guard into a four-punch flurry (Uppercuts, Hook, Cross) teaches you to turn defence into immediate offense.
Combo Sequence:
Right Elbow Tuck
Left Elbow Tuck
Left Uppercut
Right Uppercut
Left Hook
Cross
Combo 87: The Hamed
Stance: Southpaw
Inspired by "Prince" Naseem Hamed’s unorthodox flair. This drill focuses on deceptive movement and agility. The use of the "look" before a sequence of slips and rolls builds the timing needed to find explosive power from unpredictable angles.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Look
Slip Right
Slip Left
Roll Right
Right Uppercut

Combo 88: The Micky
Stance: Orthodox
Inspired by the relentless body-snatching style of Micky Ward. This combo uses the jab and uppercut to draw the opponent's guard up, followed by a clinical double-hook to the head and body. The "looks" integrated into the sequence emphasize the importance of observing the opponent's reaction.
Combo Sequence:
Jab

Combo 89: 1 2 Slip 2 Roll
Stance: Southpaw
A fundamental movement drill for southpaws. You fire the 1-2, slip the return shot to the left, reset the cross, and immediately roll to safety. It is a perfect drill for developing the "hit and don't get hit" philosophy.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Cross
Slip Left

Combo 90: 1 2 Slip 2 Slip 2
Stance: Orthodox
This sequence builds endurance in the pocket. By layering slips between straight crosses, you train your core to remain active under pressure. It’s about being able to fire, avoid the counter, and fire again without resetting your feet.
Combo Sequence:
Jab

Slip Right

Combo 91: 1 2(Step) 3
Stance: Southpaw
A specialized footwork drill. On the cross, you take a lateral step with the front foot to the right. This creates a dominant angle outside the opponent's lead foot, while throwing a cross, putting you in the perfect position to land a powerful lead hook around their guard.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Cross (Front Foot Step Right)
Right Hook
