Question

What is the best strategy against a counter puncher?

Answer 1

Draw his punches by using fakes, also crowd him, don't give him the time and space to counter you.

Answer 2

Groin Uppercut

Answer 3

don't throw any punches that he can counter

Answer 4

Stick and move, I am a counter fighter.  However if I fight/spar against someone who is faster on there feet than me, I will tend to struggle.  If that person comes in at speed (faster than I see him) and retreats before I have a chance to hit him, then that would be to their advantage.

Answer 5

Since a counterpuncher relies on timing to land his shots, do what the greatest instigators have always done. . . . STAGGER your shots.  Don't always throw a straight right after your jab.  Don't always send a left hook after your straight right.  Keep him guessing.  Make him think he knows what is coming, and send him a surprise.  If he's waiting for you to attack, he has the advantage. . . . but you can equalize things by making him second-guess himself.  

And above all. . . . if nothing else works. . . .stick that jab down his throat all night!  Jabs are the BASIS of effective boxing. . . .whether you're a "boxer" or a "puncher".  I don't care if your "money" punch is an uppercut, a cross, a straight shot, a killer hook to the body. . . whatever. . . . . .. when it comes after a well-placed JAB, you've increased it's chances of landing by a factor of ten.  Jabs aren't generally designed to hurt an opponent.  Their job is simply to make the opponent "deal with it" long enough to throw your real shot.

**Send the jab out there, snap it back, and don't let him time your follow-up attack by staggering your shots, and you should be just fine.
