How Do You counter The Counter Jab ?

most guys parry isnt perfect...so you fake the jab and than dip to your left and fire a straight right hand into his face. also just have some head movment to follow up your jab..get comfortable changing levels and jabbing to the body..than changing levels and jabbing to the face....

 

Be careful assuming that he will always counter the jab.

You can catch his jab, so it goes you jab he catches, he jabs you catch easiest way to do this is probably put your right glove in a position to catch his jab as you throw your own, depending on how far he commits to his jab you can try throwing a left hook as you catch his jab and you might catch his coming in. Again, don't assume he will always throw his jab after catching yours.

A jab to the body is also effective here, because he can't catch & counter that.

Also you can jab knowing he is going to catch and counter it. Throw your jab, and then change levels and fire a straight right to the body, this should make his jab fly over your right shoulder.

Try and mix it up and be unpredictable, after he gets countered a few times he should become hesitant and throwing that same counter jab.

 

good advice..another thing he can do is switch the jab to a hook..of course you have to be able to hook off a jab..but if you can do that than its a good weapon.

 

also..the new guy likely steps in too far with his own jab..maybe even leans in..probably why he is so easy to counter.

 

i think if the guy always parrys the jab and counters it with a jab than you can shot the right...

but first you want to fake your own jab...pump it to about the mid way point..than bring it back fast slip to your right with your left hand doing a cover guard and shot the right straight down the middle......

if he is parrying the jab at the center..you can turn it into a lead hook on contact

 

I don't think so.. unless ALL he does is counter the jab, which I doubt.

Basically you are saying you are going to abandon your jab because you are scared he will counter it, what happens if he starts countering your right hand and left hook too?

Of course you can mix it up a bit to keep him guessing but I would suggest sticking with the jab shoot it high then low, double it up ect but don't just abandon it for no real reason.

 

If the guy can catch the jab every time that means the other guy isn't jabbing well, he's telegraphing it or throwing it to a rhythm. Jab to the body, feint, lead with different punches, use your footwork to change angles etc. there's a million things you can do.

 

double jab, he pats down the first jab, then gets hit with the second. If you miss both jabs, take up the space, move forward and pressure, throw another jab. Keep him thinking

 

To me that seems like a session of limited/technique sparring..

 

well they are newer fighters and he is newer to fighting and he is looking for some input

 

There are many ways to counter a jab.

Catch and counter with your own jab, slip and hook to body, duck and right to the body, side step and hook to the head...


Me, I became a master at the right hand over the jab, and I mean master. I drilled this move and fell so in love with it, it became my pet counter; It is muscle memory for me to throw a right hand over a jab. Some times this gets me in trouble, other times, it scores me easy knockouts.

Having a pet, or rote, counter to a jab is something a boxer should have. Never JUST defend the jab. If you see it coming well enough, or if it's too slow or too sloppy, your body should have something in the wings to make the other guy pay.
