Why are the fans not impressed by Drake’s boxing skills?
The video showed two separate training clips of Drake. In the first clip, he is seen doing some mitts work and landing combinations with this trainer. One very notable characteristic of the first clip is that he is seen standing in an orthodox stance with his left hand relaxed close to his torso. This stance was seen beautifully held by none other than the former five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. The rapper recently made an appearance in the finale of Lil Dicky‘s TV show, Dave.
In the second clip, Drake is back to the normal orthodox stance and is performing mitts work, focusing on his head movements. It seems like the rapper has grown to like the sport. And, enjoys his time training. But, this video too failed to impress the fans.
One user let out his sarcastic side and claimed that this video was meant to be kept private.

Another fan wants him to learn proper technique.
His technique is all over the place. If you're going to spend that much time, to be able to learn set pad work patterns, why not actually learn proper technique?
