Taking away opponent's jab.

For a short mans perspective you can watch Henry Armstrong or Joe Frazier. Both were great at dipping low underneath their taller opponents jab and popping back up with hard left hook counters. Once they have evaded the jab and closed the gap they had the skill and determination to stay buried on their opponents chest and make the jab an obsolete weapon. Armstrong vs Barney Ross is a good example which is on Youtube in good quality and obviously Frazier vs Ali a great example too.

Looooool. "Abandoned the jab". People don't just do that. They may. Sometimes you're in the zone and forget about your own strengths. Hence, why you have a corner, a third eye that is supposed to keep you in check.

Anyone that beats Winky or Ike Quartey legitimately.

No it isn't. Oscar abandoned his jab early, and not because of counters or damage. Not the same thing at all. Yeah he just decided to "Abandon" his best and biggest weapon, the one that was working so obviously to the naked eye........Yep he just choose to do so..:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Orthodox vs Orthodox: 1) Catch the opponent's jab with your right, then shoot your own. This is great for someone who has reach on you, so you can stop their jab half way through. However, the opponent can counter this counter by feinting and you put your right hand out to catch their jab (to no avail) leaving your chin open for a lead left hook, if they can pull it off of course. 2) Slip to your right moving forward while shooting your own. I liked this better.

By far the best i ever saw was Sergio Martinez against Dzinziruk. Dzinziruk was considered to have one of the best jabs and one of the highest uses of it. I remember pre figt the hbo guys were hyping it up and windering how martinez was going to deal with it. But from very early on, martinez started moving his head up and down vertically, completely nullifying that jab. Martinez outlanded dzinziruks jab by an embarassing amount.

He did. Oscar pulled his typical fade job as the fight went on, the punch output slowed down, and though Floyd never established anything that troubled the De La Hoya jab he was able to potshot a gassing, plodding DLH to eek out the win. Make no mistake though, Floyd was having problems with that jab and did not take it away. The punch output somehow always manages to drop significantly when boxers face Floyd. It never actually has anything to do with what he does in the ring. Yeah, right.

What were some fights where a fighter took away his opponent's jab? I'm primarily looking for fights where a fighter kept countering his opponent's jab. Watch some of Floyds fights he takes it away by controlling the distance, you can crowd the jab a little or make it reach, its much easier to counter jabs that are not quite right while its very hard to counter jabs that are spot on crackers , distance control is a powerful weapon against most shots .

Five or six ago I remember Eddie Chambers taking away Dimitrnko's jab even though he was like half a foot taller 50 lbs heavier. Dimi tried pawing with the jab and Chambers hit him with a left hook to the bicep. Totally demoralized him.

Make no mistake though, Floyd was having problems with that jab and did not take it away. The best quasi-recent example imo is Ward vs Froch. Froch's jab(typically one of his best punches) was basically nothing but counter fodder for Ward.

Mayweather taking away De La Hoya's jab is an obvious answer. No it isn't. Oscar abandoned his jab early, and not because of counters or damage. Not the same thing at all.

Pavlik vs B-Hop "Double the fvcking jab"

KOvalev destroyed HOpkins with a jab. Jesus man he is 50

Watch Floyd and Pacman for current examples

Freaking great minds think alike. This was the exact fight that popped into my mind when I read the thread title. Williams counters jabs as well as anyone in the game right now. Haha my man. I've been high on Williams for a while. Love his approach to the sport and I believe he is the best LMW that Haymon has after Lara. Was doing a good job on Centeno before he basically quit. http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/8-23-2015/2KLiOd.gif http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/8-23-2015/eV1WWm.gif http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/8-23-2015/vR9Bev.gif All were within a minute of the first round. Picked up the timing and range straight away.

Pavlik vs B-Hop

Julian Williams vs Centeno Williams was countering the single jab well. Centeno had a bit of success when he was doubling/tripling it up but he was getting caught with lots of counter rights.
