    hmm

    Peep this buddy. I'm a 3 yr amateur boxer, and here's a little something I learned from my uncle who went 350-9 in the amateurs. This is good for beginners, and everyone really.

    1) When they charge you, get low, while keeping your hands up on either side of your chin/cheek to guard.

    2) To get low, instead of dipping your head and looking at the ground, keep your eyes on your opponent.

    3) When you duck and get low, bend at the knees.

    4) Also, to counter-attack a charging young buck like the ones you are fighting, throw hard rights hand to the body as they come in and as you are getting low. When you get low I mean really get low and keep your head moving in order to make a harder target. When you duck you should be low enough so that your chin is about in line with their waste. Get it?

    Summary: Let them charge you, and as they come, get low, hands up to protect yourself, duck using your knees, and blast them with a hard, straight, quick punch to the gut.

    DO NOT just turn your head down. You will still get hit, and I'm sure you have seen this by now. Bend your KNEES and get low, line your chin with their waste as you are ducking when they charge...also, get some hooks in there when they are inside on you. Blast a left hook to the body then the head, consecutively. Ignore their offense when you do this, because if they are punching when you are punching, they will get hurt. You are the bigger fighter so press the issue. Don't let them beat up on you on the inside, because that's your domain from now on.

    I've repeated myself a million times one what to do to counter these fools, so you better do it and report back! (^_^)

      first of all, you shouldn't be boxing unsupervised in your backyard and I hope you're at least using headgear. secondly, don't move straight back on a charging opponent, circle to the opponent's side. it looks like your opponent is quicker than you so you're gonna have to use short straight punches

        Get to a boxing gym.

        Cut out the other gym work, & BE TAUGHT how to box...or forget about ever beating this kid.

        We can sit here all day & tell you to throw this & that....but if no one shows you how to throw this & that, PROPERLY....you'll just keep getting housed by the wild boy.
