Question
Hi Jackson, my question is, what are advanced combos to use moving in to a opponent. Im a very good inside fighter and have 40 fights now, but could you give me a least 3 good combos I could work on to get inside. I know slipping, bob and weave etc, im looking for punching. Thanks for your help

Answer
Tim,

The best way to move in is to make him miss because he moves into you. When you come behind your own punches he is going to move back making it harder for you to get close.
But there are a couple of good combos that can get you close. 1-1-2-3-3 the first hook is to the body and second to the head.

1-2-3-2    if you don't connect with this one it should put you on top of him unless he is excellent at boxing on his toes....

1-1-2   the 2 is to the body.... if you land the body shot it should slow him down even if he was moving and allow you yo get off an inside combo....  


good luck
