is he a fast footed swarmer or is he plodding? does he have to sit on his punches or can you counter and sidestep?

I ask because you can jab and keep him at a distance or pop a straight right on his way in like someone stated and test his resolve... Also if he plods and has bad balance you can sidestep and hook...

How is your infighting? on the ropes you can hook the body and then immediately uppercut and get out of there..

There are so many variatables I guess I would have to know your style to know how to advise
