Try the training and nutrition forum maybe.

A straight right to the body, or should I hook? Thanks for the help in advance.

Throw a straight right over top of a lazy jab or hard straight right to the body as you lean to your left. Don't be a hero, if you get close and are caught in a flurry, tie up and smother until the ref breaks you up or the coast is clear.

Throw more than just a simple one, two. Toss a couple of them out there and then double up on the jab and slip the right in after the jabs, duck after that or something.......it all depends on what the other guy is trying to do to you.

Don't admire your punches either, hit him and either dip, dodge or move immediately or risk getting tagged. Use a lot of movement in case the guy sits on his punches (don't let him stage an attack). If the dude is a vertical attacking puncher, use lateral movement, in and out action with punches coming from odd angles. Set him up with some feints of your common punches after a few rds because if you have a habit of throwing the same stuff in the same situations, i.e. when you come in or when you step away, he will try to time you. If you feint a jab when he expects a jab, the right comes up to block the jab and you could shoot a straight right against the unprotected side.

I'm not a boxer though but those are some of the things I'd be thinking about...strategies in different situations and keeping my calm. Find out as much about this guy as you can and study what he does (not much time I realize but for future reference)

Good Luck

In the first round run from him, pretend you're scared to throw a punch.

At the start of the second round do the same for about 15 seconds, then come out of your shell and unleash hell, throwing everything you've got, the outright shock will KO him.

Alternatively, bite his ear.

srsly tho, training and nutrition forum?
