As a southpaw I find myself in sparring sometimes blocking their right hand but recently Ive actually been catching them in my glove/parry......my coach hasnt really said anything about it, just make sure you dont reach But im wondering if anyone does this? Should I stick to blocking and slipping their right or actually pay more attention to catching it
if its their rear hand i would advice you to slip/duck, avoid it. cause if you get that habit to catch you will catch it with your face against somebody with hard right hand which is supposed to be a hard punch. so, even a block is not the best thing to do, but its last defense. so, move to your right and throw your left, avoid his right and counter it.
^^ he's right. If you are there to catch the right hand, you are also there to to be hit. There are different angles to lanfing a right hand so be aware that catching it will lead to feints and then to finding the right angle to get around you. I dont know your style, but solid advice would be to focus on distance and take that right hand away. Don't let him throw it all together
