The Modern Martial Artist
http://www.modernmartialartist.com/downloads/footwork-wins-fights/ Well before Muhammad Ali astonished spectators by dancing around the ring like a lightweight, there was another heavyweight who’s mastery of footwork seemed to defy gravity. That man was heavyweight champion Jersey Joe Walcott.
Walcott fought with his hands low, content to leave his head a wide open target to some of the heaviest hitters in the history of combat sports.
Crafty and creative, Walcott used a multitude of feints, draws, and rhythm manipulations to set traps and lead opponents into his punches. Recently his distinctive side steps, slips and counters have seen a resurgence among a few gifted modern fighters.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to drill rhythm like this? I know that I’m getting here pretty late, but if anyone would take the time to answer I’d appreciate it.
Age does not dictate prime. Walcott was in his prime when he fought against those 3 greats and was still in his prime in the first Marciano fight.
You broke down this video perfectly. Amazing job. If today's fans don't recognize Jersey Joe as 1 of the greatest they don't know boxing. Great video
Floyd mayweather prodaja exposed 😳
If I wasn't a fan of joe louis and rocky marciano, I would definitely watch more jersey joe fights.
The sweet science indeed!
Tyson fury fights like Jersey joe Walcott
GREAT STUFF! AS ALWAYS!
That was a great story!
Whats the name of the Music. Its perfect
Jersey Joes style may look awkward and jerky but it was very effective. That knokout of Ezzard Charles is a thing of beauty.
You have to add in also that he is setting you up for the shot he is planning to throw about 10 seconds out. He walks you into his trap. Floyd Maywether did a pattern of this in some ways. Ruin a guys gameplan by dictating what you want. You have to be highly skilled to do this successfully .Sugar Ray did this method against Hagler just to survive.
Walcott highlights are always the best !
🔥🔥🔥👑🔥🔥🔥
I've only heard and read stories about Jersey joe,until now I've never seen any footage of him,the man was a true technician of the sport
Fyi
Walcott was Joe's
Sparring partner
@1 time
Was too good to stay a sparring partner
R.I.P.
Jersey Joe
&
Joe Louis
Joe was a cutie. But don't kid yourself into thinking that age defines prime. If he wasn't prime here, I'd like to know why not.
Jersey Joe was under rated but so is Rocky Marciano he’s one of the all-time greats 49-0 43 by way of knockout
How good was he in his prime so good he couldn't get a title shot.
Thats my uncle joe
Fury.
Great breakdown and what an even more incredible fighter
Respect Joe Walcott ✊
His boxing IQ is on another level!
Your breakdowns are very nice, you pick up the smallest details which made this great fighter one of the legends.
Joe Lewis threw bombs lol
Would love for you to breakdown Israel adesaya he has a similar style with his feints and tricks
Watching Walcott, I can't help but feel like Tyson Fury is his modern reincarnation.
His broken rhythm reminds of the boss Xion from the video game Kingdom Hearts… gods she’s virtually impossible to time and a nightmare to beat. And that was just a video game ! Imagine being in a boxing match against someone with broken rhythm !
