Both the fighters did so, in this case.A counter before really learning what an opponent can do is dangerous, too. The poor form crossed my mind as I was formulating the post, but I'd forgotten about it by the time I posted. As you said, shoulder cover, but a good rear-hand guard could help, too. Still if this guy had the sense to do either, he probably wouldn't have done what he did in to get KO'd. LOL. His loss is our gain in a lesson, right?

Had he thrown a good jab with some shoulder cover and over committed - the looping right would not have taken him out.<br /><br />This is all a mute point to me because when I was boxing (training for full contact in the 80's), I did not have the confidence to fight inside so I fought from the outside - only committing when I had an advantage. <br /><br />I agree with your three points... but would add proper boxing form would mitigate some of the risk... still not my cup of tea.John W.
