You can throw every single punch going backwards, it only depends how do you set them up. Just simply going backwards and throwing arm punches won't stop anyone and your back will be on the ropes all the time.



See Walcott breaking down and taking his head when he goes backwards and just of a sudden he only breaks down and shoots the right or the left and if you are in balance you can go back and break as many times as you need until you set the other guy(2:34 for example). Now see how he gives him self a lot of punching room and also how his head is outside of the left hand of Louis.



From 1:12 onward you see how to set the left uppercut as counter for the left jab. See again how he transfers his weight over his left knee, how he gives himself space and how at the same time he evades the left hand.

Of course, but I'm assuming he's asking about shots WHILE moving? That is, in transition between steps. Of course you can throw any punch going back, but you have to stop for those power punches in one form or another. And of course there are more dimensions to this scenario, but I think for the sake of clarity, he just wanted to know things in general. And generally you don't throw power shots while moving.

Thoughts?

I suppose dont have the foot brake on (ankle down), for the most power,catch him coming but be in a weight shift when landing the shot would be more power than being at a dead stop waiting.

In all this situations you position yourself to punch and in the same time evade incoming punches. You must be on the balls of your feet for more speed and fluency. Also in the rotation of the body one takes advantage of the stretch reflex.
