These aren't leads that you're getting hit with right? Are you getting countered with the jab/left-hook (getting timed), or is this just happening when you're trading punches with your opponent?

If you're standing in face-punching range, you ought to keep your right hand up to at least near your shoulder so that you can bring it up on a moments notice, and when you're throwing a left hook in close, you should have your right hand up by your cheek just in case you don't see that left hook coming, vice-versa when you're throwing your right hand.
