    Raise your jab hand higher, extend it outward, lightly paw or probe. It's like keeping that gun out. What you're essentially doing is creating an obstacle, making it harder for them to extend that jab and also skewing their vision.

    Floyd, Ward, Klitschko, Hopkins, even George Foreman would utilize this maneuver to nullify the jab, or at least get them to worry about using it.

    Edit: Also works incredibly well against Southpaws in conjuction with turning them
    I've noticed that Rigo does this quite efficiently as well. He's a southpaw so perhaps not the best example.

      No, actually, that's in fact a GREAT example. Any time you get two guys who fight out of opposing stances, the lead hands will obviously be on line with each other so it because a battle of control and who can create the space needed to establish the jab. Now, you can apply this same concept with like stances.

      My thought is to not just react to their jab by slipping, moving, or countering like some have offered in this thread (not bad advice!), but to nullify their opportunity to throw it COMPLETELY.
