Worst Defense in all of Boxing - Think you're safe when you do this? - How to box - Fouts Boxing

Too defensive and letting the aggressor having his way without making him pay. Those overhands are telegraphed like hell.

Check hook. Pacquiao does it all the time as a counter. Floyd obviously. So rather than just stepping back and guarding and hoping to avoid or block, run them into the hook.

Anyone who's boxed and used hooks primarily from a defensive position would know what I mean, it's the easiest counter to a right hand. I actually found ducking or slipping those rights much harder as that involved stepping away INTO the punch. Check hook allows you to step away, using distance as the defense but using the hook to simultaneously counter them as they're the one moving into your range.
