This thread was based off of Scraps response in another thread. After Im hoping you guys can really fill me in on this. This is a subject i'd like to know everything about.

I've always known about tapping at the gloves or jabbing at it, but its still quite a mystery to me as to how it works EXACTLY and how i can apply it better. Could you explain to me the different uses? As far as i know, it could be used for range, timing, upsetting your opponents timing.

For example in the southpaw Hector Camacho vs Ray Leonard fight. Camacho was constantly harassing and tapping Leonards front glove. While he wasnt necessarily jabbing it, he was constantly tapping it. So do jabbing and tapping induce different responses?

Im a southpaw, so would i get different effects if i jab his front glove as opposed to his rear? (i dont think i can jab at his rear safely anyways, with the way our bodies are aligned) Can i still make his biomechanical response go awry to the same effect as a orthodox jabbing the rear glove? Or is the rear glove somehow special in the way the body reacts to it getting jabbed at?

I once saw a southpaw vs orthodox sparring in my gym, The southpaws trainer told him "Jab at the guys front glove, and right after you jab his glove, go in for the straight left" He did it, and knocked the other guy on his butt. My thought was that, when he touched his jab on the guys glove, it set his range for the straight left? Am i right on that?

I was amazed by how it worked. Well anyways, coulda ya please fill me in Scrap or anyone else with real knowledge on this subject. What do you guys know about how jabbing and tapping your opponents glove and the different ways to apply it? Whether it be defensively or offensively

thanks ahead.
