Ways to time opponent - boxing

[Jeremyb]

One of my friends took boxing for 4 years, and he told me that if the hands turn your opponent is about to hit...What are some other ways to predict wut your opponent might do in boxing? I was also told to watch elbows too. Also, how do you avoid feints or fake hits?

some people bring there hand back and load up with a shoot.

Watch the feet if they set them they will usually throw a big punch. Or watch shoulders.

just stay super focused on the chest area so u can see his hands and also his head and the body..
so u can avoid shots and land your own..

also i got good advice once.. to be like water in there.. just go with the flow
he punch, you move. take what he gives u. however it goes, u go with it.

I tried looking at opponent chest, but my trainner said i should look at the eyes. Maybe its just to whatever is comfortable, or i got a bad trainer -.-

It's look all over. Timing can be anything...certain traits. Just practice. Clues can be found all over...eyes, arms, chest, legs, shoulders, hands....

Sometimes...just count.

Fighters sometimes throw puches at the same rhythm... 1 2....3.... or 1...2

etc.
If you can work it out..then you can work him over.
