Even if you don't know them very well before hand you can learn a lot about them while you're fighting them. Pay attention of how they throw their jab, are they quick with it or do they commit with it any way. Notice how they react to your own punches, what are kind of blocks/parries do they use the most? How do they fight, on the inside, in a clinch, off the ropes? Are there flaws in there punches, do they need to get set for a punch, etc.Things like that are important to pay attention to, and a good opponent would do the same.
