Combos Of The Week: Week 19 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series

Welcome to the nineteenth 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 127: 12 Roll 23 Slip Slip 2

Stance: Southpaw

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Roll Left

  • Cross

  • Right Hook

  • Slip Right

  • Slip Left

Combo 128: The Fury

Stance: Orthodox

Inspired by Tyson Fury’s use of his long reach and disruptive hand-fighting. This drill uses "Glove Control" to pin the opponent's lead hand before firing a 1-2, followed by "Head Control" to manipulate their posture for a final cross.

  • Glove Control (Jab)

  • Jab

Combo 129: The Usyk

Stance: Southpaw

Combo 131: The Zab

Stance: Southpaw

  • Cross (to 1 O’Clock)

Combo 132: The Marcias

Closing Thoughts

This project began as a 365-day commitment to creating a free, dependable resource for boxing enthusiasts worldwide.
