A lot of people neutralise the jab by going into a shell while stalking, parrying and slugging where they can. Up at the higher weights this is definately most effective (Guys like Fraizer, Lacy & Big E have crazy power).

However this shell is rapidly leass effective as you move down the weight groups.

Hence if you find that more 'boxing' is needed, you'll need a different set of tools to rely on.

One way is to play them at there own game... The other is to be the more dynamic guy, be some one with more agility and speed (where possible).

From Heavyweight down to Middleweight, the jab is pretty hefty. Takes far to much energy if you ask me. So you really dont want to take the jab lightly at all. (Especially at Heavy & Light Heavyweight)

At Welterweight (were the Judge Jab style stops) you can afford to use guys like Dela Hoya in the mix, with his 'Fast' hands due to the jab being a little more tame.
