just been back after 3 years, boxed before that for a year and had 3 fights, won two lost one, just come back and had 1 fight and won one .anyway, i use to be a pressure fighter, now ive been back ive turned into an on the back foot counter puncher(and really effective with it) any reason for that, and any tips for improving on being a counter puncher. thanks
I've been thinking about going back to my boxing gym...I stopped when I hurt my back, but that seems better now. I think now I would counter punch better than I used to just by learning from these videos
Here's some good counter moves

I always tried to empliment what pro fighters used successfully. When I was throwing hooks I wanted to have Tyson/Frazier/Foreman technique, when I wanted to keep distance and use the 1-2 I wanted to use Lewis/Klitschko technique (btw the Klitschko jab, swat down the guard, right cross works like a CHARM). I wish I took the time to utilize shoulder rolls and counter punching...I didn't know anything about counter punching when I was fighting, the videos make it looks simple enough and I figure there are a couple pros to watch and learn from on simple counter punching too e.g.

If you watch Holyfield-Tyson all that fight was, was Evander catching the overhand right and countering with a right cross or catching a left hook with the ear muff and countering.
Do you ever feint in? I found once I established the 1-2 that a feint right cross followed by a left hook worked pretty well
i feint all the time, throw throw the left too throw the right or vice verca, im really into the counter punchin now, cant get enough of it mateQuote:
