How is throwing with your opponent beneficial?

[Deevel916]

I see many people praising certain fighters for throwing with their opponent but I dont see how this can be beneficial. If your throwing the instant your opponent throws, wouldnt that leave you vulnerable to getting hit with what your opponent is throwing at you? I noticed Danny Garcia does this often and although he's been quite successful in all his recent fights, I cringe when I see him do it because he does so blindly with no regard to what his opponent is throwing at him. Almost like a hail mary hoping his punch connects while his opponents doesnt.

For real? It's a good tactic to use against fighters for various reasons but mainly a good way to catch them. Garcia isn't really good at anything but that tactic, so if he didn't use it he wouldn't be where he is today.

Yes but doesnt that up your chances of getting caught as well rather than slipping and counterpunching?

If your delivery method is better than your opponents, then not really.

It's not beneficial, it just ups the chance of a knockdown (like we saw with khan and garcia) . . . and realistically that's all most people wanna see (understandably)

Throwing with your opponent is only good if you can take a good punch, a lot of good punches.

Amir Khan unfortunately does this a lot because he thinks he will catch the opponent with his handspeed, but instead he gets caught himself.

It's the best way to hurt your opponent. When you are throwing a punch you are least prepared to take one therefore when you get hit it inflicts a lot of damage.

This I can understand and agree with.

The opponent is never more open than when he throws.Danny Garcia ain't throwing blind either mate. He knows what he's doing. His timing is excellent.

So basically what you're saying is, Its the best way to hurt your opponent but at the same time its the best way to get hurt yourself? This is what I see and dont understand how its beneficial without you risking getting rocked yourself.
