Hello,

Everytime i spar, wether it's against a new guy fighter or someone who has boxed for longer than me, i alway's get tagged with a left hook. Somehow i flinch when the left hook comes and no matter how i hold my glove it always finds someway to hit my jaw.

What should i do to defend the hook? Ear muff with my gloves or try to lean/step an inch back?


Also i was boxing last night, and my trainer said i used to much of an upright stance. He told me that, i need to lean a bit forward is this true or should i keep my upright stance?
