Right on I've noticed the same things as you. The heavier guys that I fight also make use of the right cross and rear leg round house. While the smaller guys move in and out. I like the response that da_mill said about moving from side to side, thats something that I'm trying to work on.
This may sound strange but I've tried throwing unorthodox combos and have had some occasionall success with this (i.e. jab, right hook to body, right uppercut to chin, left hook to chin, cut kick to mid section). The r. hook to the body doesn't come from lunging in after the jab, rather it is thrown after a quick bob and weave to the r. after the jab. The uppercut that follows is often a suprise because not many people will uppercut from that position
When I first tried throwing the r. body hook by lunging in after the jab (big mistake), I often lunged into the opponents counter jab, so the bob and weave worked well against a counter jab or overhand. |
