    Slip to the outside, jab over the top, hook off the jab, and throw a right of your own. That's the perfect scenario.

    Shoulder roll with it, then throw a right of your own. James Toney style

    Would I would do is pull back and come back with my own straight. After you throw it duck under his left hook if he does throw it.
    You could also parry it with your right and throw a left hook.

    I think the OP was talking about, "how does a normal fighter counter a right hand?" The Burger King is not normal:yep

    Duck and overhand right, similar to the KO of PW by martinez. You basically duck their punch as you're simultaneously throwing your own right hand. Then the other variation is the slip outside of the right hand and throw your own at the same time, his guard is down because his hand is out there so perfect time to throw it. Personally my favourite is to lean back away from the right hand and throw your hook over it. They usually miss with the right hand and run into the left hook. Its basically a check hook.

    From a southpaw stance, best way to counter a right is to throw your own straight left whilst moving away from his right.

    duck and counter left. To the body and then come to the head.

    This guy basically explains all the stuff I just mentioned above. The check hook is the 2nd he demonstrates and its so useful to use.

    Double jab neutralizes it

    A few good posts so far! Mag is the only guy besides me who has shown that he understands that a good counter should set up a combination rather than a single punch. A couple posters said things that were spot on, but only involved good defense without a counter.
