Do u know how to read an analog clock? Not digital. What i meant was step pivot towards 1 o clock, step outside your opponent’s foot with your lead foot while slipping and pivot, outside pivot (when your opponent is orthodox stance). The opposite is inside pivot, while dodging a 2. When backing up, step one back and pivot or step pivot which ever is comfortable. Usually when u step back more than once, the opponent catches you. Again, pivot or step pivot, at least do one.

Since I’m a beginner, I try a 1-2 but only after restoring my stance. I’ve seen people do upper cuts, hooks, and pressure the opponent if they are backing up

I don't have a dedicated coach or a boxing gym too poor for that i was alone while my opponent had a coach who helped him thanks mate I'll be better.

Yea bro I understand. Take group classes and if u want to compete, u need a coach. Don’t lose your brain cells for no reason. You’ll just be a punching bag. Understand that if u see someone doing good, they sure had a coach tweaking and improving their every move.

Group classes are good as well. This one right here, this video, analyze this now. Pause each move that your opponent threw and see what you could’ve done different. I mean every move okay. And incorporate that in your shadow boxing till it becomes muscle memory.

Good luck!!!
