HArd job to improve on all whats been said here already!

Some personal ,approaches is all really;MAy or may not suit your own style but worth a mention.


To drop into a momentary side stance with your head off to the left,right leg outstretched through the path he is comming through at, Check the out side of his left arm as he comes into range , right hip behind your right hand and take him hard with a solid right straight cross ,through the path you just moved out from, may make him think twice.
You have to continue moving by getting that right leg around and behind you and come upright straight away and be onto him and over him from out that side. dont give him room to move stay on him dont stand back to see what damage you have done.

If he rushes at you from the get go in every round .
I would be the first one out into the centre of the ring waiting for him every time ; in the reverse stance to what I normally fight out of.

AS he rushed forwards I would take my right foot all the way around the back of my left so I have created double the space to react in , double the time to do it and double the distance for him to move , than you do have when just stepping back once in the same stance or shuffeling or skipping back.

IF he comes harder and faster then you of course can shuffle back first and then go around this gives you three times the distance but your on the ropes.

Some fighters of old used to sit into the ropes for avoidance and use the spring of the ropes to go out sideways and to get more into that right cross on the way out too.

But just the simple step around also allows you to go back on a greater angle by pulling your lead foot right around behind your rear leg and you throw a left jab or a left hook as reaches your range , you are in your natural stance as the blow lands and can fight your natural fight from there.

You can combine this idea and go to the first idea from it,or move out on the angle and catch him turning towards you. but you have to be on top of him reigning blows into him from the angle you have created,you cant just skip out of there and expect him to fall for it all over again.

Make em pay hard, make em question or rethink,then the fight is on your terms not theirs.
