Combos Of The Week: Week 3 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series
Welcome to the third 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 15 to 21 from the archive.
Combo 15: The Mayweather Sr
This is a counter-punch masterclass. It moves through rolls, blocks, shoulder rolls, and slips, linking every defensive movement with a sharp punch combo. It finishes with a series of jabs to regain control of the range.
