best way of blocking/parrying wide hooks?

wouldnt the best thing be to beat him down the middle with a straight right? think chuck liddell v rashad evans, i know its not boxing but its a good example. or something like donaire KO darchinyan. he threw a narrower punch and beat the wide punch out basically

 

Can beat him to the punch which at worst wil lead to your opponents punch hittin u high on your head.

Can just roll under and pop up with counter.

Can step into his punch so his fist goes beyond you best to keep gloves up and jawline covered with ya delts.

Can swivel under.

etc etc

 

yea, agreed on all points

 

A straight jab or straight right.

 

If you attempt to block or parry a wide hook, he's probably got so much leverage and power on it that it's going to go straight threw your guard.

Don't block/parry, just roll them. Much easier.

 

Usually wide hooks are arm punches.

 

For real though, roll under hooks, but if you see it coming and you wanna block it, keep your guard up, and roll with it, then come back with a punch of your own.

For instance, if you see a guy throw a left hook, block it by keeping your right hand up and simeltaneously rolling with it, then come back with your own left hook.

 

one my coach liked us to practice was hitting the inside of the wide hook arm near the elbow on the bicep side of the joint(far side) to stop it's momentum and follow that immediately with a punch. i liked to tap off the wide left with my left hand and follow through with a short and tight left hook of my own, but im a left handed orthodox fighter so i have a fast left arm. might not work for everyone.

 

Like what was said above, either roll with it, duck it, or keep your gloves up. Then throw a straight punch back. A jab can be caught or knocked down, a straight right can be knocked down using your gloves. I would think trying to hit the inside of the person's arm on a hook would leave you wide open for a body or head shot.

 

against some yes, it's not a universal solution for wide hooks but if the person is slow it works quite well. if you bump the hook arm while going under it, it works even better. i like to use it at least once if i feel it'll fit and if they answer with a punch fast enough i know not to go that route anymore, simple as that. and besides, this is something i've been told to do and trained to do in the beginning of the hook while the body is all twisted up so there would be virtually no power behind a right hand at that point unless the guy's arm punches are superhuman. i've yet to have any serious issues with it, just a little trick i like to pull out every now and then.

 

in sparring some guy caught me with a wedge block as i was throwing a looping right hand,basically rammed his forearm into my bicep as i threw the right,its hard to pull off but it ****ing hurts to be on the recieving end eeven though its a devensive move

 

duck and right hook to the body.
