A 1-2 that lands on the gloves leaves you right in front of the opponent: in range, on their line. Standing there to admire it is the easiest counter in boxing. They take your punches on the gloves and fire straight back.
Move after you punch
✓ Do this
Animation: red glove is the lead hand, blue glove is the rear hand.
Two ways out
- Exit 1, step out: back foot first, one step, out of range.
- Exit 2, pivot: turn on your front foot, off their line, at an angle to punch from.
- Move straight after the last punch, before they can answer.
- Hands home first, then the feet.
- Change your exits so they can't time them.
✓ Do this
Exit 2: the pivot
Animation: red glove is the lead hand, blue glove is the rear hand.
