Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. When I first read your post I was left dumbfounded but if u think about it; it is true. The sweet science that is boxing is exactly as lefthook25 has pointed out "to hit and not get hit" in the sense that evasion is preferred over "blocking" a punch or better yet "rolling with the punches". The idea is to evade and make the other man miss comes first . Now if you find yourself unable to move out of the way or somehow evade the punches THEN do you move to the second part of defense which is blocking. both of you were well spoken in this defensive conversation and both had great sound points. |
