Combos Of The Week: Week 6 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series
Welcome to the sixth 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 36 to 42 from the archive.
Combo 36: The 112 Loop
Stance: Orthodox
This is a fundamental rhythm drill. The double jab is used to blind or measure the opponent before the cross lands. By looping it, you build the stamina to keep that lead hand active and snappy throughout a round.

Combo 37: The Marquez

A Southpaw variation of the counter-punching classic. We use the low jab and a step back to invite the opponent into the pocket, then unleash a clinical five-punch response finishing with the lead hook.

Combo 38: Slip Slip Roll 232

Combo 39: The Bivol
Stance: Southpaw
Adapted for the Southpaw stance, this sequence focuses on the heavy-volume straight punches and lead hooks that Dmitry Bivol uses to dismantle guards. The double cross is the key to breaking through a stubborn defence.
