In this breakdown we look at how Zayas controls distance, draws reactions, and consistently puts himself in positions where his opponents are forced into mistakes. This isn’t just about timing and reactions — it’s about positioning, composure, and understanding how to manage exchanges at a high level. If you want to go deeper into the positioning side of striking, I’ve put together a full breakdown on my website where I show how to apply these concepts in your own training: 👉 https://www.prostriking.com 00:00 Intro 00:50 Data Collection & Range Control 03:20 Defensive Layering 05:40 Composure in Close Range 08:37 Body Punching & Accumulation #prostriking #naoyainoue #toprank #xandar #zayas #counterpunching #boxing #breakdown Footage rights provided by WSC Sports - https://tinyurl.com/prostriking
