Found out this video not long ago and tested it few times in s spar against a SP that is way better than me. Really recommended.
As most of you know there is a major problem when using the jab against SP to a degree where it may be pointless. I like to jab a lot, but I always had problems against a SP friend of mine with whom we spar often.
So I d again start jabbing, but as soon as he starts timing my jab I would just extend the left hand to play with his right and use that extension to deliver cross to the body.
Why it works? The body cross is a damn long punch. The initiation punch or counter punch from the SP will be very often his right jab or right hook. So even if they time your movement you are mostly going under their punch and the distance you throw the body cross is way longer than the distance of a hook.
Lastly comming up with a left hook after the right cross. It is a level change and it is damn sneaky punch. I would advice it for when your right cross gets a bit predictable. So you can usually move forward with the left hook to add power.
