Parrying punches question

[Dawn-nightmarex]

Hello, I need tips on parrying punches. I was taught to keep my fist in a closed position, but loose closed so I am relaxed. Would it make sense to keep my fist closed, open them when I begin parrying and close them again after? Should I Transition like this between open and closed or just keep them open at all times? My coach taught me to keep them loosely closed, then open when I want to parry any shots then keep them closed again. Basically they only open if I parry. At all times besides this they are loosely closed.
Thanks

we were always taught to keep our back-hand open, you close on delivery

boxing is hard enough when the other guy is punching you in the face, no point doing it yourself
