Jab & Body Work

Second, Maidana must commit to using his jab and going to the body. These were effective weapons that Garcia has worked to improve while training Maidana. In an interview with Garcia, he gave us a glimpse of the strategy, “Like, go to the body, pound to the body, jab to the body, right to the body, and then, finish with a left hook upstairs, or jab, jab to the body, and then come back with an overhand right. We trained for that over, and over, and when it came to the fight, he was landing, I’m not saying every punch, but many of the punches he was throwing, he was landing them. We trained for that.”
