I havnt really done any parrying for the right hands of my sparring partners just usually used footwork to get out of the way but i wanna start standing my ground a bit instead of giving away ground. When parrying a straight from orthodox stance to another is it better to use the lead hand or rear?
I imagine using the lead hand to swat the straight right while taking a step leftwards. Not really my style but I do eventually want to learn how to parry more dynamically.
if you parry straight right, you should do it with your lead hand. if you do it with your right hand you`ll get countered with his left hook very easely cause his left is faster than your right. unless you want him to counter with left hook, than you roll under his left and counter with right but i dont know if that is what you want i usually use footwork and head movement to escavade from his right, and sometimes i do shoulder roll and than counter with my right, its more natural too me. tried to parry but its too risky and i am bit to slow to counter after that parry. i found some interesting parrying with left hand, i think its very hard and need lot of practice but you could check it out - http://www.expertboxing.com/boxing-techniques/defense-techniques/how-to-parry-punches in theory it sounds perfect, but in the ring it could be too complicated
Use you left hand to parry his right, then throw a left hook over it. Use your right hand to parry his straight left, then throw a cross at him.
i do that when boxing against southpaw, but against regular stance its pretty difficult, he could just lean back, you miss, and boom he counters with straight.. its always difficult to parry right straights cause that are harder punches and can easily go through parry. when parrying with right hand his left (when he is in regular stance) and throwing cross/straight its nice to do with punch from shoulder cause it is fast punch, not doing too much damage but it can open him for more shots. we call that froggy :yep
Watch erik morales sparring. He's amazing at parrying the right with his left. Kind of a half block actually.
You don't see it much any more, on purpose but parries with the lead hand, and, especially cross-parries, are good set-ups/sucker moves. For instance, you parry his left jab (assuming two orthodox fighters) with your left hand, which leaves you wide open for a right hand. So you roll his right off your left shoulder and counter with a right. You reach across to parry his right with your right, leaving yourself open for his hook, and to counter his hook with your own. The thinking is this: You deliberately leave yourself open to a particular punch so you can counter it. You make him throw it.
use the lead hand i always put my lead hand in the path of my opponents hands, so they can't throw a straight right to my chin. They have to punch around or over my glove. can't punch straight because my glove is already there. Sounds very simple but is very effective.
when he throws his straight right ,slap it down with your lead hand & follow through with the jab nice & quick ,not that hurtful but one to remember
