Also try working the body first to bring the arms of the other fighter down then if you're a power puncher go for the headshot or just mix it up so his defense is bad.
@El Kabong damn right I just did that last night outside the White Castle hamburger joint in Jersey City. This guy rushed me from the side he must have been six foot two. I immediately and instinctively Crouch down low and that is pretty low because I am only 5 foot 7 to begin with and this piece of garbage I think he was black American but it was late at night and I could not see because he was wearing a hood actually threw a right lead straight at my face but I was so low it went at least one foot over my head and he did not get his hand back into punching position so he was wide open on his right side and I threw the hardest left hook I could spinning on the ball of my left foot forward foot like I have always heard about over the years and hit him in the ribs and I hit him so hard in the ribs through his thick coat it knocked the wind out of him and he went down
