Liver Shot Setup — Pin & Stifle Inside-Fighting Drill + Right Uppercut Finish | Tom Yankello Learn a hidden inside-fighting trick to set up the perfect liver shot. In this step-by-step lesson I show how to use a pin and a stifling of the opponent’s arm while using a high guard — forcing them to open up so you can land a devastating right uppercut and follow with a body (liver) shot. I explain the shoulder placement, timing, and subtle mechanics that make the move work at close range, plus how to chain the left uppercut, right uppercut, and other inside punches off this setup. This video is perfect for boxers, trainers, and fighters who want practical inside-fighting tools: Inside fighting tips & drills Liver shot setup and finish High guard control, pin & stifle technique Close range boxing and uppercut mechanics If you want more in-depth instruction, go to www.worldclassboxinggym.com to join my email list and watch my full library of instructional videos.

Vertical Fist Uppercut Tutorial — Hidden Uppercut vs High Guard. In this video Tom Yankello teaches you the vertical fist uppercut — a quietly powerful uppercut that’s rarely taught but devastating vs a high guard. In this video I explain the difference between a traditional turned-fist uppercut and the vertical-fist method, show step-by-step setup, and give drills so you can land it smoothly and without telegraphing. What you’ll learn -Exactly how to form and deliver the vertical-fist uppercut. -Why not turning your fist makes the punch harder to see. -The setups and timing to sneak it under/through a high guard. -Practical drills and live examples so you can apply it in sparring and fights. Why this works: The vertical fist reduces rotational cues and shortens the motion, giving you higher odds of slipping the shot past a high guard. In a sport decided by inches, the smaller, smoother mechanics can mean the difference between a glancing blow and a fight-changing shot.

How To Set Up The Liver Shot Using The Soft Touch Trick. In this video Tom Yankello of the @WorldClassBoxingChannel teaches you A Simple Inside-Fighting Sequence To Set Up The Liver Shot — using a soft touch to bait a hard finish. In this short clinic I show one reliable way to manipulate your opponent’s elbow, redirect your weight, and land a clean body-to-liver shot that stops fighters in their tracks. Perfect for coaches, amateurs, pros, and anyone who wants to make their body attack lethal. What You’ll Learn In This Video • How To Use A Hard Body Feint To Force The Elbow In. • How A Soft Touch In The Same Spot Lets You Redirect Faster. • The Footwork — Step Out, Turn Hips Counterclockwise, Drop The Shoulder. • The Finish — Left Foot, Right Foot, And The Landed Body Shot. • Drill Progressions And Coaching Cues You Can Use On Pads And In Sparring. Why This Works This sequence exploits defensive habit — when you feel a hard body shot coming you clamp the elbow tight. By first initiating a hard body fake then following with a light touch in the same spot, you train the reaction and create the exact opening for a liver shot. The hip turn + shoulder drop creates torque and angle so your next body shot finishes with power and accuracy. Coaching Tips • Keep The First Soft Touch Light — It’s a setup, not the finish. • Commit To The Hip Turn — Power comes from the hips, not the arm. • Drill Slowly First, Then Add Speed And Power. • Use Pads, Then MIT (Medium-Intensity Touch), Then Controlled Sparring.
