If you see it from long(ish) range Jab first and move your feet away,if you see it closer range pivot your front foot heel turning out and through a left hook while pivoting your hips to the right,basically on that counter the shoulder defends the uppercut as the hook counters,from closer range again and against a upercutter try cross guarding,if you see it real late tighten the shoulders neck and jaw and take it like a man! if you dont see it get up before ten! these are based on a right uppercut to the chin.
Oops just remembered you said without gloves on Ghost,anticipation and keeping your head out of the action are always good things to work on for bare knuckle imho,failing that as a reaction pick it of on the elbow/inside forearm if poss.
What do you think Ghost?.
