Boxing Styles: The Three Main Types

There are three main types of styles that boxers fall into when
boxing. These reflect how they move and how they punch. It is
generally thought that the styles are a lot like rock, paper,
scissors in that one style beats another while it will
generally lose to the third. However, this has been disproved
many times and is only accepted as true.
The first style we will mention is the Brawler. This type of
boxer will generally throw single and powerful punches against
their opponent. A lot of brawlers are able to throw a punch
which can knock out an opponent in a single blow. The biggest
problem with this fighting technique is how slow the boxers
usually are to punch. By being so slow they can be countered a
lot more easily.
The next type of style is that of the Inside Fighter. This type
of style is usually played very aggressively and incorporates an
"in your face" type of play. The idea is for the boxer to get
and stay close to his opponent and knock him out with multiple
fast punches. This is a great class to be used by medium weight
boxers.
The final type of style is that of the Outside Fighter. Boxers
who use this style type will generally stay toward the outside
of the ring and work on keeping their opponents away from them.
The idea is to wear out your opponent rather than knock him out.
This style is usually played by lighter class boxers who don't
have the strength for heavy punches.
There are some boxers who have become good at using all of
these styles to their advantage. By using multiple style types
they can keep their opponent off balance as to how they will
play. Some of the best are the Brawlers who can also use good
footwork and speed.
