Go work nothing but you jab on the bag
Re: correct punching range??
Sometimes you can paw with the jab to find your range..Although you must be careful with it not to be countered..
And if you just throw out a jab to see how close you can get to an opponent and step in with the jab then you will find the jab
then the rest will come easyer with the jab

Right on Scrap. :)
Re: correct punching range??
about this dont paw with the jab stuff...i think it should be mentioned that if you are confident in doing it, and you are aware enough of the risk and reward, there is really nothing wrong with it. i am a southpaw and my range with my right hand is my strong point, i dont need to paw to find range, i paw to get the other dudes hands moving and voila, openings are made. its no different than any other tactic of baiting your opponent, you just gotta know you are doing it and have the proper response plan. so dont necessarily assume its a bad thing. i knocked a dude out that outweighed me by 60 pounds with 18 oz. gloves and headgear on simply because of pawing and drawing.
as far as finding your range. dont even use the heavy bag, use the double end bag. just jab it all day until you feel you know what it's doing, then step away from it further and jab from long range, then close the gap and jab from close in when it is going away from you...much more practical range finder than the heavy bag.
Re: correct punching range??
If you're going to paw you should be very reserved about it, even if you're using it to draw an opponent in. A lot of guys that keep their arm out there are running that risk of being set up.
Re: correct punching range??
of course...boxing is a sequence of events, actions and reactions and more actions. saying that you should be reserved about pawing is like saying you should be reserved about throwing right hands because you run the risk of being set up, or you should be reserved about circling left because you run the risk of being set up, or you should be reserved about the rock-1-2-1 because you "should never pull away from punches"...there are a lot of things in boxing that get taught as just universally bad, and nothing is universally bad, fighters do things differently and it is up to the trainer and the fighter to find these things and shape the individuals style out of it. i remember when jason litzau got knocked out and people said "maybe now he'll learn to keep his hands up" and his supporters said "you've never seen anyone get knocked out with their hands up before?" you trying to set me up by letting me paw is no different than me setting you up by pawing so that you will try to fire a few bombs my way. its just a different link in the chain of events.
Re: correct punching range??
good thinking space, Iknow of akid who boxed with his hands down was 22 and 0 changed trainers got his hands up his next 2 fights got KOd in the !st both times cc
