Watch Jones vs. Tarver.

It is easier to hit to the body if your hand is down, it is also easier to switch between shots to the head and body. But in most cases it is not worth half of your defense.

Would you really tell someone to keep their lead hand down in a fight?
He wouldnt be Roy Jones then though would he. and Tarver managed to get in a good shot on Roy as he threw his punch, it happened to Lennox against McCall.

You dont tell people to keep their hands down, for some its natural. Its their style.
