Throwing punches to the body forces an opponenent to ground defence
Especially the liver and side blows and low body abdominal blows
While throwing punches to the head might open up the body
-This can be used greatly

Tip:
The uppercut is hard to defend to


A slick boxer
If you've watched a slick boxer for 1 or 2 minutes you'll notices he tilts his back
around every minute to a different pose


Types of counter punchers
Passive Counter Puncher:
 He only throws one counter and then runs
 Always throwing hard counters
 Will swing at anything that comes too close
 doesn’t seem comfortable/relaxed
 He seems overly defensive even when you’re throwing lighter punches
Aggressive Counter Puncher:
 Likes to test with lighter punches
 He waits calmly, sometimes standing still, sometimes moving laterally
 He’s sometimes stalking you to force the oppononent into making a panic move
 He doesn’t look scared when he’s standing perfectly still
 Always targeting specific areas

To defeat a counter puncher:
Apply constant pressure, most counter punchers don't like constant pressure
As they like to make clean exchanges
Throw a mixture of hard and soft punches at the body and the head and mix it up
And don't give any room to move


Extra on the infighter
Boxer-Puncher, Swarmer, In-Fighter, Inside Fighter
These fighters look for that knockout by breaking down their opponent through making combinations
They fight primaraly in close range, applying constant pressure to close the gap
and make way for punches
An infighter must be well rounded in offense and defense
They can get in and out when needed, they have good-great power, stamina
and great defensive bobbing and weaving
Getting inside creates opportunities for these fighters
They can attack the body, diminish the power of an opponents jab or cross,
they can get an opponent trapped in a bad spot
And deliver vicious uppercuts
Which are hard to block

An effective strategy is clinching to open up a hole and than throw an uppercut

Defeating an infigher or swarmer
Can be done by pivotting as infighting releis on constant forward aggression
And pivotting can put the opponenent off balance
Fake a retreat by stepping back and then suddenly forward again or throw a hard punch
By counterpunching


Defeating a brawler or slugger
Most brawlers don't have a lot of stamina so making them move or increase the pace
can be a very effective strategie
Most brawlers fight at medium range
Don't get stuck in the corner
While circling around use your jab and cross these quick punches
can be given quick and you can move away quickly
Because brawlers punches are big and slower
they are susceptible to counterpunches if you can make them miss


Defeating an outfighter
Beat an outfighter by working his arms
This can be done by landing lots of blows to a fighters shoulders and upper arms
Work his body
There is a saying in boxing that goes “No abs, no legs; no legs, no fight.”
What this means is that if you work an opponent’s body
their footwork suffers as a result. And a boxer without footwork is a losing fighter
Because outfighters rely on their legs and movement
working their body is another way to eliminate their strengths
Avoid the jab by constant head movement
Take a hit to gain the advantage or to go in


Balanced, mixed and hybrid selfmade styles
These fighters mix make and match styles to fit
their need and what they want to accomplish between the bounds of the ring.
Some fighters will use several styles to throw off their opponent and gain an advantage


It's probably best to have sparred at least once to all textbook styles and some
mixed and hybrid styled boxers just to be prepared
It can happen you face around your own fighting style
For example it can happen that as a counter puncher you face another counter puncher
This can be a very awkard match

If you know what oppononent you are going to face and what style(s) or strategie(s) he uses
You might want to spar to some one who does around the same to prepare for the match


Some times it happens that an oppononent or sparring partner has his right leg
in front while you have your left leg in front the one with the right leg
in front will be used to fighting left legged forwarded oppononents but you
will probably not be used to fighting right leggeg forwarded oppononents
It can be good to spar to some one who has his right leg in front just to be prepared
and as extra experience


It can be good to like once in a month put your right leg in front in stead of you left leg
or your left leg in front instead of your right leg in front and do some (heavy) bag work
sparring or just punching the mitch or some one elses boxing gloves or do some shadow boxing


Throwing punches with different rhythms can confuse opponents
You can use different rhythms to make your attacks more effective

Punching rythems
The - means it's given as fast possible after the other punch
The space means there is a small, very small pause.
1-2
1-2-3
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4-5

1-2 3
1 2-3

1-2-3 4
1 2-3-4
1-2 3-4
1 2-3 4
1 2 3-4
1-2 3 4

1-2 3-4-5
1 2-3-4-5
1-2-3 4-5
1-2 3 4 5
1 2-3-4 5

Sometimes the small pause is created because of the preperation for a power punch.
If you are seeking for openings in the guard
you sometimes make these punching rythems automatically.


Train hand speed for faster punches

Punching out a candle flame is also a great way to develop speed and power
This can be done by jabbing and normal direct punches
If it gets to easy blowing out one candle with a punch 2 candles or even 3 or 4 candles
can be put up after each other
(my personal record is 4 candles in one punch with my right hand around 2011-2012,
 There's a video of it on youtube)
And be carefull not to burn anything down...
