Ring Strategy and Tactics - The Editor of ’Boxing’

From the Editor of the ’Boxing’ periodical, this guide is part of a series of expert breakdowns published by the magazine.

Via the medium of over 20 champions of the day, it explores what tips, tricks, approaches and stratagems fighters like Tommy Burns and ’Digger’ Stanley use.

It explores what the champs do (both fair and foul) to get the win. It covers everything from strategies of clinching to mind-setting, gameplan crafting and developing man-stopping KO power.

This 1914 guide contains photography showcasing the techniques and approaches of champions in action and gives the reader recommendations on how and why to emulate their work within their own boxing practice.

Part fight journalism, part expert review and part advice for those looking to train and upskill, it’s a classic example of early 1900s boxing philosophy and skill.
