Turn and block the left jab and counter

So Paul was leading a mini group today in boxing so I joined in today. Out of all the things we worked on, I wanted to take some notes on one technique that really connected with me.

It's turning your body to the right while blocking the left jab with the outside of your glove (palm to face) and then countering with the straight right. The reason why I love this move so much is because:


  • You block the jab

  • Already are in position to deliver a power punch in the form of a straight right, a right cross, or a right body shot. (It's the defensive equivalent of throwing a jab in the sense that it sets another punch up)

  • You're body position and left hand are already ready to defend your opponents followup right while your are throwing your right shot so in that chess match... you win
