Anyone else adopt this type of defense?
I have been getting hit a bit lately, because I rely mainly on my reflexes for my defense, but I don't fee like this works for me... So recently I kept my hands up, using a high guard, and I felt comfortable with it (before I just covered my chin with my backhand, with my left just in front. I find this style a lot more effective to any other kind of defense!
I know Winky Wright and Joshua Clottey both use the high guard as a form of defense, and it works great for them.
What are the vulnerabilities of using this type of defense?
