HOW do you fight somone who COMES OUT SWINGING????

[BG_Knocc_Out]

I always give alot of head movement and look for a well-timed counter punch. That's if its a sparring session or match. If it's a fight against someone who's not a boxer, throw straight and clean punches, those are the most effective.

most importantly, stay relaxed.

Best advice so far. Also, look for openings. guys like that often set themselves up to get countered

If a guy comes out at you like that then he has little/no respect for you. Pound him a good one in the nose/chin/lips and make him respect you. Alot of times they just keep coming. Just get your shots off first and look for them coming back....................Rockin'

most importantly, stay relaxed.

That man speaks the truth, your mind will try to tell you to be scared or to fight back as furiously as he is.

Don't do neither, keep your hands up and try to counter, or clinch. If you catch them with a good punch, chances are they will take a step back.

i didnt read much here, but i saw "timing" and "relax" - both are Great advice.

u may want to let 'em chase u a while and use your good tricky defence against them(not the sit on the ropes kind) and gradually time them and start to mess up their rhythm - if they have any.

usually, if a swinger is committing so much to a single punch, they cannot change their body position quickly. this u can take advantage of.

also, swingers like to use looping punches - u can use straighter, cleaner punches to beat them to the gaol and catch them.

2 basic skills against a swinger are countering just after they have commited and swung or stuffing them while they just started that committed swing.


good luck.

edit: btw, more wild "swingers" will telegraph more. so carefull attention to body language helps.

and how u been Rockin?

been better j, but thanks.......................Rockin'

[Lovely]

fight back more ferociously? if you've been doing your sprinting youll be ok. counterpunch, time shots, triple the jab... this is basic, basic ****.

[Nick Fury]

As stated before, stay relaxed and then Muay-Thai clinch the fool.
