hey man
1=jab
2=right hand(cross)
3=left hook
4=right uppercut
thats pretty much the standard.. everybody has different numbers for the punches. so for 1232 it would be jab.right.hook.right

mark to not get hit is to keep your mind open,think what your oppponient is thinking,say if you go 221 then move out the way and exspect him to come back with somthing similar.Een tho im only a begginer iv seen mosty my opponients do similar moves as i do,best way to keep them from hitting you the same way is find an opening and hit them back with either another punch or a kick to the face when their arms arnt directly infront of their face.Just my advise

Damn spellcheck. I meant to say “fighting” not fitting. You could try to fit someone while they fight you… but I don’t see that ending well.

Mark,

It depends on who you are fighting and what your style is. The universal approach to fitting is the stick and run. This is a good way to gage your opponent. Step in, throw a fast combo, and then get out quick. Keep moving.

You’re going to get hit. A lot. The point is to hit harder, faster and more often than your oppenent. If you can set him up for a submission while doing this you’re in good shape for a win.

Hey mark, The best way to hit them and not get hit is to keep your eyes on them, throw ur combo and move away while protecting ur self. Do this through most of the fight.

It’s important to keep moving.

Well this one move i learnt you run into the fight throw a combo like 112 or 221 etc than run back out than look for a opening and go again

I have a dumb question:

The number system for boxing, as 1 is a jab 2 is a right cross…so is the command of “4″ the same as doing 1,2 twice? In other words does 4 mean jab, cross, jab, cross? Or is it jab, cross, left hook, right hook?

In the same way is the command “3″ jab, cross, jab….or jab, cross, left hook?

1. Hit someone by moving in an out so you can hit them and they cannot reach you.

2. Always move to avoid being an easy target

3. block punches and kicks

Mark, when striking an opponent, you have to work on getting back onto guard as quick as possible right after throwing. Another tool would be to work on countering your opponents strikes. One reason Chuck Liddell was caught by Jackson in their second fight was Chuck threw a hit to the body and didnt recover quick enough.
