Can someone please provide advice on the technique of 'covering up' when being hit?

Boxers/kickboxers I guess use this tactic (ie bringing arms together in front of face to snuff punches, or bringing their folded arms up next to the side of their head to snuff jaw crunchers); but can anyone provide me with any pointers for the finer points of snuffing punches?

Also - how to you guys 'read' punches? Watch the shoulder..??
