Problem I had in sparring tonight

[Howlin Mad Missy]

does he always throw the same combination when you jab?

how does he react when you feint a jab?

[Andre]

Double or triple up on your jab. If hes tapping your lead arm out the way and coming over it, you are allowing it. Get more active.

If he likes to push your glove down you could entrap him by leaving it out at a safe distance and when he pushes it down you go with it, then fold your lead elbow over his arm and trap that side of him as you move in throwing the rear shot or come up and around with your lead into a hook if he reacts the other way. Either way your lead can remain above his.

If you were into Mma and facing a southy who likes that downward push, you can resist once so he thinks that way, then next time you release and go with him and fold onto it the same way and move in and walk your elbow straight into their breast or face in one move. If you touch their lead foot with yours on the way in it gives them another interruption thought to deal with too. Worse if you can drag their foot slightly forward with yours at he start or on the end of the move, just a touch does enough.You got a big opening coming up. Much different set of can and cant dos when someones right foot is out there right next to your left lead foot.

Faint a jab, wait for him to drop his hand attempting to knock your 'shot' down and step round and in with a left hook shot straight over his hand.

Also bare in mind that whatever he can do to you... you can do to him... seeing as his stance basically mirrors yours... slap his jab down and fire straight over the top.... and try a few straight rights... leads or counters... southpaws usually don't cope well with them.

As he jabs at you slip to the outside whilst shifting forwards and throwing a right under his jab. one movement - a defense and a counter all at once... sets you up for a left to the ribs/chin too

Keep your left hand low and circle to your right, away from his right hand. Move into his left and make him throw it. I'll bet you that he's not a natural southpaw; I've never met one that didn't wing that left. This guy doing so much right handed- slapping your left, then jabbing or hooking- tells me that he, like Michael Moorer, is naturally right handed. By moving to your left you are playing into his strength.
Circle right, keep behind your left shoulder, make him punch across himself with his right hand. When he throws his left hand, throw your left hook. (See Yori Boy vs Marquez...Raul Marquez) Or get under it and bring the right hand uppercut to his body or chin.
Test his left hand; make him throw it. I'll bet you it ain't his strong one, and a southpaw with a weak left hand is a victim.

Brilliant.
