I keep eating jabs!!!

yea i went on a jab diet. i cut down on them alot

[DJ QUIK]

the key is to relax, that is the hardest thing to learn in boxing. but when you learn to relax then you will see the jab coming, now mind you will not be able to get away from every jab but you will see them coming so you can try to time it with a counter or so you can jab with him which sometimes takes your opponents jab away from him. (i had well over 200 am fights, born in Cuba and that is me in my av)

that might be the realest **** ive ever heard on this forum.

Work on coming over it with a right. Trainer at my gym is excellent at this, and everybody he trains is too.

When they throw a lazy jab or are slow to return it, go right over it with your right hand. It'll teach them.

Guy, this is all great advice. In answer to one of the posters, my fitness is pretty good and I can hang with the younger guys. Usually its one of my advantages. However, I don't know how many of you guys are in there 40's but the 20 year olds do seem to have a definite advantage in terms of quickness. Also, they haven't learned fear yet, lol. Plus they have something to prove so usually the level if aggression is higher.

Back to technique. I do get nervous so relaxing is definitely key. But I think one of the real answers that someone mentioned is becoming more proficient with that right hand parry or deflection. I would love to become good atr that beacue I think that is the answer. I would love to deflect and then come over the top with a big right hand. Fitness and my right hand are the two things my trainer says I have going for me.

Any good drills for deflecting jabs with the right?

Thanks to everyone, you guys are extremely helpful.

you can use the palm of your right hand(orthodox vs orthodox) to catch your opponents jab. not reach out for it or paw at it but to just catch it. ask someone to throw just jabs at you and work on that.

got to make that word limit

Watch out for that video.

The kid deflecting the jab is reaching out too far, leaving himself open. The natural instinct is to reach out to catch the jab.

Try a drill of just literally keeping your right hand to your face, but just turning the bottom side of the glove to your opponent.

i don't know about that close but you're right about not reaching for it
