Just read my reply, and figured I might be able to add a bit. Look for your openings. Watch what your opponent does with his hands after he throws his punches. Is he consistantly dropping a hand when throwing a specific punch? If so, capitalize on the situation. Watch for that specific punch, and slip one in when he drops his hands. Do you have the reach advantage in a specific match up? Again, capitalize on this situation. When he jabs, counter with a 1 2. If you have the reach advantage, you should be able to land 2 good punches to his 1 light punch (if his lands at all). This has to do with what I mentioned before about range. The guy with the shorter reach will be catching you with his punches at the tail end of the punch, while you have proper range and can drive through his head with the follow through on your punches. Hope this helps some man.
