Hey TB

Couple of small points:

  1. Try not to think of head movement as such. Think of the fact that the body does the movement and the head moves as a consequence of this.
  2. The aim of moving the body in order to move the head is that you are in a position to throw shots back.
  3. Try not to wait as such for shots to come in order to slip/roll or duck out of the way. Set yourself a little rule; I will perform a slip/roll/duck before and after every punch or set of punches. You are in effect making the assumption that your opponent will throw shots at you (a reasonable assumption to make!)
  4. Think about sequence e.g. inside slip - left hook - roll - left hook - roll - move away. In this sequence, a double left hook is interrupted by a roll, giving the option on increasing leverage on the second left hook. By adding (head) movement skills in sequence with body movements and footwork, your successes in terms of making your opponent miss will increase.
  5. Find Don Curry's 1985 encounter with Milton McCrory (god bless YouTube!). Watch his inside slip and left hook in the 2nd round...don't blink though, you might miss it!!!!
  6. Finally, get used to being on the edge of range. Slips, ducks and rolls when you are on the edge of range have the added advantage of putting pressure on your opponent.
Good luck mate
