How do you box a inside inside pressure fighter?

[Verstyle]

I've sparred a former World Champion this morning(not the first time) and he always comes foward and fights deep in the pocket and throws combos and keeps the pressure on. Now usually I'm the pressurer but he's a pro and has more tricks then me.

Now my trainer told me to push him back also. I started throwing the jab that bothered him but then he adapted to it and did other ****. Being the one backing up ain't no joke, makes you really tired.

Now as for me? I'm a mid-range fighter so thats what I do and a counter puncher. Sorta hard to counter when the guy is in kissing range haha. I'd be happy for some replies on what some of you guys would do.

side step and counter as he comes in is always good im sure you know that, theres also a few really good pivot combos you can throw from the inside to, like pivot right + 2, right uppercut as you pivot to the right and then a 3 2, theres lots of them and theyre super effective for the inside fighters

Thats great advice, thanks. I appreciate it.

Usually you would jab but because of your style there wouldn't be much I could say to do. Apart from more combos from the outside and try to control the centre of the ring.

Or when he gets inside hold him and then repeat until he gets frustrated of not being able to fight inside you can them just chase him around the ring.

Also, sit back on a lead right hand instead of a jab.

Carlos Hernandez. The dude that gave Mayweather his first knockdown.

I do hold him and try to throw out my combos. He tends to respect my power when I'm throwing the combos but that ****er always has me on the ropes.haha.

I can't chase him around the ring cause he comes straight foward to me.

You need to work on your pivots. That is what they are for.

he fights on a line, right?

then fight on a circle.

that doesn't mean dancing away from him either. he may be good at cutting off the ring. you can also try an angular approach.

it is hard to suggest more without knowing exactly how he fights - habits, techniques, etc.

Thats one art I have forgot and left behind. I'm going to rediscover it now.
