Is this right? If you are not counter punching the only punch you shd attack with is

[AlexKid]

A jab if you are orthadox?

Or a cross and hesitantly a jab if you are a southpaw?

So you never attack or lead with a hook, uppercut, overhand, shovel etc unless its a counter punch or following a jab if ur orthadox or a cross if your a southpaw!?

[Fearless]

No...

if that was the case, you would fight an entire fight with a jab, you become too predictable doing so.

You can attack with anything. Sometimes I like to go from a left hook as my first punch in my combo, but that's just me.

counter punchers are trained to counter ALL attacks, so it doesn't matter if you are just shooting a jab, they can counter that too... mix it up.

[Ivansmamma]

that you should generally lead with the jab dosen't mean you always have to do it. Like previous poster said, throw a lead right or a feint (or a lead left hook ocassionally if you are fast enough) just to mix things up a bit. If you do the same thing over and over your opponent will predict what you are going to do.

[Ray Corso]

No, thats not right! Throwing lead rights or hooks or uppercuts are all perfectly fine! If you know what your seeing and can adjust to it! Ray.

If you're a novice it's not recommended, you're easier to counter, I like throwing lead rights and stepping to the left. or leading with hooks sometimes, try check hooking too. Juts jabbing is predictable if it's one at a time. Double it triple it, go to the body, body head. you can do a lot with a jab.
