I was just explaining how effective counterpunching works for a defensive fighter. There is more skill involved with being a counterpuncher than just being a slugger or a plain old boxer/puncher because if you mess up your defense you can get caught easier, if you counter too early you can get caught with the tail end of a combination and if you wait too long to counter you can get beaten with just the jab.
The aggressor more often than not will have his chin down, hands up and will walk down his opponent. The counter puncher however due to his movement around the ring is able to throw the odd curve ball something the front footed guy simply cant do.
Dirrell was able to land big on froch because carl basically had to spend the entire night chasing him down and in doing so andre was allowed to jump in with his lead every so often and follow it up with a right hand
one dangerous horrible bloke
And the (one) way to beat a counterpuncher is to force him to lead off.
Which means if you are naturally the aggressor holding off from throwing.
What has any of this to do with ElT anyway![]()
I cant stop laughing
