Thread: Is counter punching/interception the highest level of boxing?

Or does it depend on the fighter and his genetics?

Why is counter striking so effective?


I often look for ways to hit them in a way that I cant be counter struck, for example I will fient or x2 up my jab get in and out at angles, do exagerated slips while punching in unorthdox ways (not as terrible as it sounds), is this way of attacking inferior to counter striking if so why?

Cheers?






PS If greynotsoold answers I just rewatched that Gabriel counter punching southpaw and I now "get" it, he is AMAZING! So im gonna slip the jab to land the lead hook/lead uppercut as a counter and only ever attack with straight punches but preferably I counter using those too.
