slipping punches (again)

[nijak05]

Hi guys.
When you guys slip punches do you just wait for the guy to throw and then slip?
I´m finding this kind of difficult cause its based on my reaction/judgement to what he is going to throw and i just end up getting hit especially in sparring i find it difficult since we are moving around (obviously) etc..

I was thinking maybe more like in the video: ( since this is my first post i can´t link to a video showing it, so i´ll have to try and explain:

basicly you jab first, and expecting his counter jab (or whatever) THEN you slip, because of the chances that something is coming at you are there.. i guess its like setting the guy up to counter your jab with a jab of his own, so you can utilise your slip i guess??

any thoughts on this..

don´t know if this post makes sence, i´m just having difficulty timing the slips ( im quite tall and lanky and usually the outside fighter), and would really like to get better at it..

thanks
