People kept sending me clips of an 80-year-old coach, Frank Gilfeather, saying coaches on social media are teaching boxing wrong—and a lot of you thought he meant me. So in this video I break down exactly what he’s saying, give him the respect he deserves (Scottish amateur champ, massive following, clearly knows boxing), and then I test his claims properly: on the heavy bag and with real fight examples. First, we get into the big argument—should a right cross finish fully extended or bent? Frank says a straight arm has “zero power” and is easy to counter. I show you why that’s not true when you punch through the target with hip rotation, legs, and shoulder behind it. I back it up with footage of Canelo, Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather, and Dmitri Bivol all throwing that same extended cross. Then I explain the other side too: Frank’s shorter, step-in cross can be powerful as well—my issue is when people claim there’s only one correct way. Second, I address his defensive idea of slipping inside the cross and countering to the body. I explain why slipping inside can put you right in line for the lead hook, and why slipping outside often makes more sense for safety and a bigger counter target. My main takeaway: boxing isn’t one-size-fits-all—styles are unique, and good coaching adapts to the fighter.
