Combos Of The Week: Week 4 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series

Welcome to the fourth 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 22 to 28 from the archive.

Combo 22: The 1232 112

This is a high-cadence straight punching drill. It’s about finding a rhythm with your lead hand and ensuring that the double jab at the end is just as sharp as the opening one.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Left Hook

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Jab

  • Cross

Combo 23: The Bivol

Inspired by Dmitry Bivol’s exceptional distance control and piston-like straight shots. The double cross in the middle of this sequence is designed to catch an opponent who thinks you’ve finished your attack.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Left Hook

  • Jab

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Cross

  • Left Hook

  • Cross

Combo 24: The Lomachenko

This sequence uses the "open" technique to create gaps. It mimics the way Loma uses his lead hand to pull down an opponent's guard before firing with hooks.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Open

  • Right Hook

  • Open

  • Left Hook

  • Jab

  • Cross

Combo 25: The Right Hook Motif

Much like our previous motif drills, this one focuses on the rear hook. By returning to the right hook after every transition, you build the ability to throw this power shot with speed and stability from any position.

Combo Sequence:

  • Right Hook

  • Jab

  • Right Hook

  • Cross

  • Right Hook

  • Left Hook

  • Right Hook

  • Right Hook

  • Right Hook

  • Left Uppercut

Combo 26: The Toney

A tribute to James "Lights Out" Toney. This is all about the "look"—using a subtle pause to read your opponent's reaction before jabbing, slipping and countering.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Jab

  • Look

  • Jab

  • Slip Right

  • Right Hook

Combo 27: The 152 Loop

This is a classic technical loop. The 1-5-2 (Jab-Lead Uppercut-Cross) is a devastating combination for catching opponents who lean forward. Repeating it helps you master the weight transfer between the uppercut and the straight.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Left Uppercut

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Left Uppercut

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Left Uppercut

  • Cross

Combo 28: The 1 2 Pull 2

This is a fundamental counter-punching drill. You fire the 1-2 to draw a return shot, use a lean back (pull) to let the opponent's punch miss by an inch, and immediately fire back with the cross.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Lean Back

  • Cross

Closing Thoughts

This project began as a 365-day commitment to creating a free, dependable resource for boxing enthusiasts worldwide. By stripping away spoken instruction and focusing on the raw mechanics of the combinations, these sequences are designed to be a universal language. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced boxer, these archives stand as a testament to the discipline of the craft—a library of inspiration that remains accessible to anyone with a passion for boxing.
