I'm sure it's obvious to most people on here but my brain is just not working at the moment so maybe you'll have pity on me hitmandonny!
No prob, what I do is nail my lead foot in place in a location that would accomodate an attack, I would then step back and allow his left hook to miss me and then presuming his shoulder drops and his right hand is out of position, come back with a hook and straight of your own.

Alternatively, and I've only started employing this recently, I block the left hook on the upraised elbow and forearm and come back with my hook. Takes timing, but it's highly effective.
