I think this demonstrates once again how blind the internet is.
The title specifies that only coaches and counter punchers need reply, however behind the mask of the internet I could claim to be a wonderful counterpuncher. (I am not)

As mentioned previously in the thread a counter puncher is a boxer that can employ a large variety of counters. You must first develop a great knowledge of the shots you are avoiding and your replies to specific shots. Once you have ascertained your strategy you need experience using your own system and only with experience will you become good at countering.
