About ExpertBoxing

Boxers are a different breed of men and women.
Humans achieving the impossible through determination, dedication, intelligence, and heart.
We are fierce warriors between the ropes, and humble people outside.
Boxing is the expression of our lives.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
– US President Theodore Roosevelt

Great website…..
Just found this site a couple of days ago and I am very impressed and extremely grateful.
I found the instruction of Johnny N. and the personal insights and pro fight experiences of Saber Khan, to be so incredibly useful, extensive and influential, that I had to write in to express my appreciation.
Having loved the sport of boxing since I was a kid and watching The Greatest – Ali, on Wide World of Sports, I have to thank both ‘Coach’ Johnny N. and Saber Khan, for helping to educate me and I imagine many others, in grasping a firmer understanding and stronger skill set of the ‘sweet science’.
The two of you really do make a spectacular impression – THANKS!
On a more personal note, I’d like to learn more, because I recently took up kickboxng classes, at 49 years of age, for improved fitness and health reasons.
Boxing however is far more interesting imo and I have reworked my basement into a home gym, with a heavy bag, double ended bag and weight set to help me lose excess weight.
I feel as I get older, I really do need to be in better shape and my heart and mind are stimulated alot by pursuing boxing ‘science’.
By learning as much as possible, I can teach my 3 God-sons, because I want them to know of the character and esteem building benefits connected with good physical fitness and disciplined training. Of course, the self defence aspects are also very important for youngsters 9, 15 and 17 and later this week, they will be attending their first classes.
Gentlemen, please continue to keep up the good work and sharing of your boxing knowledge, because this website and your combined insights, are in one word – FANTASTIC!
Peace.
thanks for your comment, but I just wanted an opinion on my boxing style in its own right. I made another vid of me sparring, starting from 00:56. I’m the southpaw, am I still leaning back too much?

Hi
Can you please do an analysis of Roach- Pacquiao mitt work?
I am interested on combinations, counters, slipping, pivoting, angles etc.
Thank you and I wish you more success on your website.
Sincerely
Joseph
Hey Johnny,
Could you make a video where you demonstrate a wide variety of boxing combinations? That would be extremely helpful. Also, could you do a video on counter punching? Thanks for the hard work.
Johnny,
Could you please make a video to describe the specific knockout points on the head and body? Thanks.
Hey I have been a fan of your site for a while now and have been using your tips to make myself a better boxer! I was wondering though if you could please make an article on strengthening abs to take punches? That seems to be a flaw for me. I don’t do too well taking body punches so I would like to know what exercises are best for strengthening abs.
Johnny,
It was great to meet you in San Francisco over the weekend. I discovered your site through your brother Brian while taking tango lessons. I’ve been involved in fighting for over 50 years and was very impressed with ExpertBoxing.Com. It’s the best boxing site that I have found on the internet. It would have been a great advantage for me if this site and the internet had been around a half a century ago, but I plan to make full use of it’s existence today. The question I have for you today is what is the best way to rehydrate before a fight after cutting weight for the weigh in? I have a professional fighter who has 5 more pounds to cut before tomorrows 5:30PM weigh in. He is 6′ 1″ tall and will weigh 154 lbs. He is able to cut 4 lbs the day of the weigh in without any problems, but if it is 6 lbs he begins to worry. He will make weight for he is highly disciplined, so the question is what’s the best method of rehydrating?
It’s taken awhile, but some of my pro buddies are starting to look at and appreciate your site. Thanks!
Some fruits and liquids! Really nice meeting you, Charlie.
Hi Johnny,
Firstly, I wondered where you are based? I am interested in some private tutoring of the basic boxer jump rope techniques, is this something you do or could advise a good trainer based in London?
Many thanks,
Lizzie
Hi Lizzie, I’m located in Los Angeles and San Francisco. You can learn to jump rope out of any boxing gym in London. Go there and watch for inspiration. Or you can keep trying alone at home and you’ll get it eventually.
Hi Johnny,
I’ve been taking kickboxing at a local dojo (BJJ, kickboxing, and MMA) for a couple of years, and I was training hard, but there was not much chance for technical improvements. I had taken Tae Kwon Do and Karate for a total of fifteen years, so I had the basics down, and I decided to start looking for some higher-level boxing tips and techniques. Found your videos on YouTube and became a huge fan. This is exactly what I was looking for. The video tutorials on how to train movement and combos, kettlebell exercises and flexibility… I feel like this is the perfect resource for me to up my own game, and bring some tips to my kickboxing friends. Some of it just puts names to things I’ve done before, but that means I can drill / share those things, and some of it (the balance / flexibility article) really opened my eyes. I’ve only been reading / watching for a week but I’m already changing up my training routine and sharing the message of the sweet science.
Thanks so much for making this all available. You’re helping out a lot of people who are self-motivated to improve themselves – that’s gotta feel good.
Much love from Canada,
James
