*TKO* SAM GOODMAN vs MARK SCHLEIBS (AUSTRALIA) - FULL FIGHT

So Youtube, there we have it, a performance from the undefeated Australian Sam Goodman. So he gave us an awesome ending to the fight and presented a good account of himself. So Australia is going through a major period of awakening or an era of enlightenment when it comes to boxing. There’s been a massive wave of good talent emerging from Australia over the last couple of decades. To name a few we have George Kambosos Jr, Jai Opetaia Tim Tszyu, Liam Paro who beat Montana Love, also Jason and Andrew Maloney. So there are many up-and-coming Australian stars Now let’s cut to the chase guys... Goodman does some things well but we need to discuss whether he can hold it together in the ring with Naoya Inoue and see whether there are any merits to him claiming the undisputed spot from him. Now there were a few things that I saw in this fight that could be problematic for him. - So the first thing I saw right out of the gate was that he Moves backward and forwards but doesn’t really try to create angles or at least counter off them. - He does Feint but uses very little head movement; Inoue will pick up on the fact that the target is always in the same position. - Doesn’t cut off the ring when applying pressure. So he tends to follow you and allow you to escape from the ropes. In the scenario where he may want to apply pressure to Inoue effectively, he will not want Inoue to see an opportunity to exit. If Inoue doesn’t feel the pressure moving backward he may look to set up and walk Goodman onto counterattacks. And thats even in the case where Inoue feels the need to back up in the first place. - Another thing I noticed was that Goodman tends to Headhunt a lot and doesn’t work the body enough. First 2 rounds I barely saw any body shots and in the third when he landed telling body shots he didn’t really capitalise on the impact of it. Even in the 4th, he didn’t really target the body enough bearing in mind Schleibs was visibly hurt from earlier body shots. - The last thing I will say is that if Goodman tries to apply pressure in a fight against Inoue He will need to develop a better understanding of distance and prevent Inoue from landing first. So in effect, he can’t move forward like say Hatton, rather he needs to use his lead hand to measure distance and be more cautious like say a Bivol or he needs to improve his head movement so that he can work around that first explosive attack from Inoue... so more like an Isaac Cruz. This will prevent him from entering a lot of 50-50 exchanges with Inoue, and you don’t want that! But this will allow him to be first or establish effective counterattacks. To set up those counterattacks against Inoue you’re going to need to set traps and hope he takes the bait... even if he does take the bait you need to be fast enough to land your punches and take your opportunities. ╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗ ║╚╣║║║╚╣╚╣╔╣╔╣║╚╣═╣ ╠╗║╚╝║║╠╗║╚╣║║║║║═╣ ╚═╩══╩═╩═╩═╩╝╚╩═╩═╝ to the channel people Intro 00:00 Round 1 0:20 Round 2 3:26 Round 3 6:25 Round 4 9:25 -------------------- ✅Follow me ✅ insta @charlessalbox facebook @charlessalbox #boxing #australia #reaction
