It is a very simple look at that mechanic.

And that head down mechanic is not really correct unless you are fighting a dud. I mean if you consider that element important then you want to be really good at it.

Agreed. Getting the head down will reduce/stop the effectiveness of punches, but it pushes the fight to different territory. Either be able to fight in that territory, or be able to control it back out of there immediately. Best: be able to do both.

I agree your videos mechanics are better, but would you not rather take your opponent to the floor, rather than pull and push them around for a bit expending all that energy? The presenter was puffing more than his opponent by the end of a short video.

It’s a drill for getting lots of reps of the sort of structure breaking that you need in order to take your opponent down.

I like the way the guy in the white shirt moves. But the clip's title is a misnomer. There were no hard punches thrown. Just that lead hand, backfisty jab that wasn't even on line to hit his partner.

I like what they were doing, just not how they were showing it.
