Defending the left hook + Stance question

[Youngblood]

Yeah i do trust him, but just wanted to have a second opinion from someone just to be sure

The thing is, and point I will further make is, we can't see your posture at all so how can we answer it or have an opinion? He can. This is what makes this question one I don't really think you can get a decent answer for online.

You may be fighting a bit too defensively and not attacking enough. Maybe he feels if he can bring you forward a bit that will help engage you. Maybe you are leaning away too much in the process. During exchanges. Again, we don't really know.

Yea you can get some general rules of thumb, but they are often dependant on who and what and where you are as a fighter/in training. I can lower my head and do to try to get my opponent to commit so I can counter him, if he is kinda slow as I work off of speed. But if I am against someone who has equal speed, or if most people are of relative quickness, this could go assbacks in a hurry if it means it is just ending up in an open chin.
