I mix it up, otherwise I get predictable and thus hittable. Parry, block, duck, slip or step out of range.
Normally I'd block the leading right, and then counter with my own right. I also step to the left at the same time as I throw my right. Or just take a step to the side and throw the hook to the body or head. Against a jab I usually just throw the overhand right or use my own jab.
I personally always parry or duck. If you follow it with a punch, you should quickly counter with your left. Hopefully they wont have their right completely back yet and have up their guard. Also, that way your right (head and body) isnt exposed to their left hand, which they havnt thrown yet, since they just threw a right.
What you do is often contingent upon your style. James toney usually rolls and counters the right. Mike Tyson would weave and counter. Muhammad Ali preferred to lean back and counter. The important thing is to counter and don't wait for the guy in front of you to hit you with the left. Jeremy Williams weaved under Sam Peter's right then just stood there like a dummy and took a full force lefthook which nearly killed him.
If you can anticipate/predict your opponents lead right, slip the punch by bowing slightly forward letting your opponents lead right go slightly over your left ear keeping your left arm close/tight to your body. Then come up instantly up a short left hook to the jaw. Your opponent should not see it coming. Good chance you knock him out.
I like to stay out of range and when they through there jab i slip it and catch them with a flurry but like RDJ said if you do that all the time the boy will figure it out
A right hand lead is thrown when the target is there. Which means someone keeps there left hand low and has their face out in front. Simplest remedy is to keep the left hand up. Another one is the shift your weight back a bit so you are evenly balanced on both legs. This will allow you to slip and counter the right hand lead in various ways, if he even decides to throw it at all now that the open target is no longer present.
Either the guy has had bad coaching, or he has no respect for you. I would slip to the left, then either fire a counter right to the chin, then a left hook hi/lo or just high. Your slip puts you in position to fire the L hook. You could just slip and do the hook too. Slipping and firing the right at the same time is nice because the L hook naturally follows in this combo. Follow up with another right/L hook or a R uppercut depending on his reaction. Did you feint a jab to get this leading right? -Bob
It depends on how he is throwing them. If he is loading up on every right hand your not gonna stand there and wait for it, so slip and come back with a left hook, move out of range, duck under it. And if there coming quicker with less power, just parry, shoulder block (mayweather style) and come back with your own right or slip ( inside or outside, depending what punch you wanna come back with). Your coach should teach you this in drills....
I always love to go under the right- stepping under with a hard right to the body as i do so- either that or counter with a left hook to the body while rolling my shoulder to glance the right off my shoulder. both are pretty hard- and i only get it once in a while- normally when i set it up with a soft left jab- and leave my left down. but doing it successfully only happens like one in 5 for me. once , in a street fight- a guy came at me- predictably trying to land a huge right bomb- as most guys who dont box try to do. i saw it coming from across the street- ducked under and threw a short right to his gut as i passed him- he turned around then crumpled down - not knowing what hit him, best feeling ever!
