1. Bait jab
Used by: Roberto Duran, Bob Foster, Joe louis
The fighter throws a jab slow or purposely stops his hands before touching his opponent to make you feel as if you're out of range.Although the jab was never meant to land as it was probe to draw a lead from you're opponent...(Preferably a jab) to counter off of. Robert Duran was a master at this using the bait jab to force his opponent to throw his own jab......... only to be greeted by a vicious combination or by an overhand right
2. Windmill punch
Used by: Miguel Cotto, Carl Froch, Danny Garcia
A very unorthodox move you'll probably hear no coach teach. And because this punch looks like a hook, fighters will mostly be unaware they threw it. This punch is kind of a hook but slightly different. Think of it like a baseball bat trying to hit a ball. Instead of bending the elbow in the hook, they will swing their hand in a circular with your arm straightened out. Delivered correctly with the right momentum can produce heavy damage. Same punch Danny Garcia knocked down Amir Khan with. You can see Cotto showing slight variations of this punch on Sergio Martinez. This move was sorta used as an overhand left that Marcos Maidana used to drop Adrien Broner.
3. Counter Jab
Used by: George Foreman, Oscar De La Hoya, Ken Norton, Gennady Golovkin, Larry Holmes
Its amazing how so many boxers forget about this move even though it was probably the first trick they learn in the amateurs. The move is simply parrying their jab with the palm of their hands while intercepting theirs with their own jab. This can puzzle your opponent for a split second for an open combinations. Very useful if you like to win rounds by jabbing.
These are only three moves for now. Any other advanced techiques you'd like to share?
