Not sure why that is. I think maybe reach and speed have something to do with this. I fought 4 fights in WC last night and lost all 4. But it wasn't because of spam, they flat out beat me straight up. It was rather refreshing to lose to good fighters. Allbeit very frustrating to lose 4 stright. LOL

I proceeded to fight a ranked match and KO'ed my opponent in the 5th. Had to go out with a win.

All in all 3-5 (3ko) last night, 3-1 ranked matches, 0-4 WC. But I had more fun then I've had with it in a while.

Same with me last night. I fought one guy who was ranked 4th. He completely destroyed me, but he was spamming. I just can't take out those skilled aggressive guys. I did go with one guy who was ranked around the 40's. His name is II SubZero. I went 10 rounds and he knocked me out in the tenth. He was aggressive, but not too heavy. He later sent me a message, "run B****, run." I replied that he should at least respect me. He claims all I did was run around the ring. I was simply trying to defend myself.

My last fight I went 8 rounds, lost the first four rounds but turned it around. I knocked him out in the 8th. That was very rewarding looking at the cards after the fight. I had to stop there. Those guys in the 100's are just very hard to beat.

I know, there has to be a strategy for taking out the agressive fighters. I just don't know it yet. What kills me is I can't block a haymaker to save my life. That was my demise all last night. I need to practice offline blocking the body. Those big body haymakers just kill me.

Jab in between. throw two or 3 stop... then back up.. they always throw haymakers when you pepper them with the jabs.. make them swing at air.. usually they throw with one hand.. if you have to block. blockl to the side they usually throw

AGAIN USE YOUR JAB

Jab does work because it stops them in their tracks. I don't know though that it lowers the stamina like a block does. Relentless, excuse my ignorance, but how do you block to the side they are throwing to? Do you move your body to the side and block? Thanks.

I second this question.

Hey Dave this is my routine against most aggressive body guys.

They tend to sit at range and then come in with a haymaker body hook and then rush you with body hooks, some high here and there and some low.

What I do is I sit at range and as soon as they move forward I throw the jab two or three times to catch them in in the middle of the haymaker. Which cancels the hay and then you will land couple jabs behind it.

Then I bounce away and tend to try and repeat. They will get your routine after a while and start changing up theirs. You got to adapt with them.

If they switch up trying to do the same thing you are doing. Then I start coming in with the rolling head fakes which you can land some huge Counter window shots.

Now if they do get me pinned against the ropes. I tend to just concentrate on just blocking and landing a shot here and there just so the block meter refills. Then when I see a opening I will land the haymaker uppercut to the body. It is quick, lands with force, and looks very close to the head uppercut so they block high more often than not.

Biggest key is stunning the haymaker throwers with jabs. Keep working the jab and always keep them off base with what you are going to do next. Also use the straight often. Good combo is the jab straight combo. Straight does good damage and can rock them back with a good combo.

Thanks Phobia. I'll give it a go this afternoon.
