Good for you. Southy hey! You know you can turn and face a hook that comes over your jab by keeping your jab out stiff and you can then walk through that same way (opening him up) while attacking up his centreline with your stronger rear arm.Takes balls but it works,you just have to be in first to beat him to the draw with your free rear hand which if you are bodily passing through his centre line, facing his first point of contact, it means you have yourself covered and him outranged (your right against his left) for that instant. Turning bodily into the hook stops it from getting around your extended arm and opens him up if you move that same way.You have contact so you have control of his balance point if he wants to push it.
Then you move in on his reaction cause he will be looking for balance cause you opened him up with your whole movement or he 'll look to get set again at the very least ,so you move in on him as he does. Practice it with a mate or sparring partner for a while at least he wont continue to do it, if exposed earlier next time.(Turn walk and throw a bomb right up the pipe all at once ,both your arms are out there but they are both doing things and your moving weight and a hip in behind the shot as your moving your head out of range of his free arm. Takes practice cause your natural reaction is to retract that jab but its already out there so let it work but just turning slightly and bang .

You could even bounce a left hook or a cross off the inside of his hook if you react or prefer to cover up tight to your head or if he forces the issue on that side.You just gotta watch that rear arm is all and check it comming or beat him to the draw with it safley.
