The lean back is the last thing you'd want to do. Unless you're Floyd you have no business trying to pull this off.

@@wolfieplays2wolf199 Some of it depends on your body type. Obviously, a roll under the hook is easier for a shorter person with strong legs against a taller apponent. You will get an uppercut if you bend at the hips, and you will be off balance and not be able to put the full weight behind a counter punch. The roll is designed for the hook. You can just slip with the straight punches. The trick is to make them miss small, and you being close enough, and on balance/ within range to be able to counter. Your opponent creates an opening in their defence every time they attack. Boxing is basically ballroom dancing without music. Your waiting for a wrong step. I've also seen fighters throw a slightly bent straight punch using their elbow from their punching hand as a block and dipping their head behind the arm. This can work for a fighter with shorter levers. Obviously, the fighter throwing the hook could fake the head a rip you with a liver shot, because you lifted your elbow. The fella in the videos roll is fine. He uses his legs. I'm just questioning why he's saying they're wrong. Mayweather king of the pull back and counter. Also, uses the block and the roll for the hook. He's also great at changing the angles like Mike tyson. Getting off the railway tracks as I like to put it. This helps put your opponent off balance and not be able to hit you with power.

What's wrong with stepping in with a jab?

lean back is great, until you don't lean back enough, or your opponent extends farther, and you get caught, especially since you are off balance. Step back.

You can lean back but you don’t wanna do it as a beginner, it’s more for someone that’s advanced or knows how to do it properly, you can pull or “lean back” as opponent punches then as they pull back you fire off with a straight rear hand

coach, how do I know if a straight or a hook is coming? I find it so hard to distinguish the the two while trying to duck away

I would say step back and pull the punch, blocking or rolling/slipping is too dangerous, but dropping your hands and leaning back can be dangerous for you

Good Technique 👍

As someone who practices Thai boxing for a decade it is indeed affective. The thing is it takes far more technique than just a block so it's harder for beginners to pull off

If your smaller and need to close distance rolling is great also if your against a pressure fighter a block might allow you to to stand your ground better and not end up on the ropes. I'd agree stepping back is a safe bet but I like doing as much as I can to keep my opponent guessing.
