    Is it legal to push your opponents hand out the way?

    Just something I'm wondering. I was sparring this morning and scored several times by using my glove to my opponents hand out the way. He was in a high defensive guard and it was annoying the hell out of me trying to find ways to attack it.

    Perfectly legal as far as I am aware to 'pull' your opponents glove down but you tend to see it more in past eras only fighters I can think of currently who do this are GGG & B-Hop.
    I do wonder with the situation described why you didn't go to the body to bring his gloves down?

      I just recently started sparring so I didn't process how to deal with the tactic so that seemed the easiest way to land punches.

        Lomachenko did it all the time even in the Ams.

          Sure. It's just an offensive version of parrying.
