If you think too much about all this stuff you won't throw a jab at all.

I think the guys with the best jabs had many variations of jab and they knew when and where to use them. The easiest fighter to use as an example for that is Wlad because A) He threw the jab more than everyone else B ) He set up his entire offense from the jab C) Everyone who fought him knew what was coming but for the most part they didn't know how. Wlad would get his opponent so concerned about the jab they would never see the right cross coming right behind it, or they'd wait on that right cross and either eat jabs all night or get cracked by a left hook.
Throw is short, double/triple up, feint, really drive it in, slap down on the guard, swipe across at the guard, hook off of the jab because if you also double/triple up on the jab it'll really throw their defense for a loop.
Did you notice AJ trying to time a right hand over the jab. It caused Wlad to throws left hook at times instead of the jab.
AJ stopped Wlad after he caught him throwing a jab at the start of the 11th round.
Jabs can make you predictable which is why I think Roy Jones Jr did not throw too many.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
