Just another quick tip:

You probably noticed that a common theme is holding the left hand high. You can pretty much neutralize their jab if you hold that left hand out and high and keep on fencing them with it. Get them used to hitting your glove when they jab. Then when you're ready SMACK their hand out of the way and go in with some hard shots.

That hand positioning is the key though.

Thanks again guys I sparred with the same opponent today and kept it really simple. I moved continuously to my left and kept my jab going. When I wasn't jabbing I kept my lead hand really high and a little higher than normal. I'll keep working the stuff previously posted but already I noticed that my emphasis on moving to the left and staying to the outside of his lead leg offered my partner a different look which was frustrating.

i slip the jab and counter with the straight right..or slip to my right and counter with my own jab

check jab with high left hand, left hook right hand down the middle, while going left, then u can step right and load a solar plexus shot up the middle. ez.
