Here are just a few tips on fighting dirty...

"Fighting Dirty"

  • When a guy crouches I think it is nice to use one hand to lean on his head while you bang his ribs with hooks or face with uppercuts.(Mayweather uses this alot)
  • If a ref is on one side, punch or hit with your palm to the guys liver with your other hand so he can't see.
  • On the inside, or in a clinch or on the ropes use your head to put it in a guys face, not headbutting though, just pushing.
  • If your taller lean on the guy.
  • Going low is a given.
  • To get a guy to turn put your hand behind his elbow and push it will make him go in the direction of the push.
  • Step on the guys foot and punch.
  • Hook, and then accidentally fall forward and slam your elbow into the guys face.
  • Forearm in the throat.(to stop clinching, watch Trinidad do this)
  • Anyway, you can armbar a guy in the clinch. If he has his arms straight out and yours are over the top of his, it's a matter of levering his arm against your side so that his arm bends at the elbow, much like an armbar in wrestling except you're standing up.
  • I like to get in clinches then push them away with the gloves then hit 'em quickly.(Floyd MW did this to Gatti a good bit)
  • After the arm bar one u let go of the arm and slap them with a hook as you seperate.
  • If a guy was holding me and I wanted to fight, I would start smacking him in the back of the head until he let go or the referee warned me.
  • If a guy was fighting me nasty dirty then I bring in the elbows. When he is rushing in to fight, I would simply place my glove against my face and raise my elbow up. Alot of times his glove would hit the elbow, which could injure his hand, or he would run face first into my elbow.
