Roberto Duran - How to Counter the Jab

With all the fights recently where the jab was key, Dubois and Yarde having no answer to the jab and Spence Jr excellent use of the jab to defeat Garcia, I thought I would find a few fights where a smaller fighter handled the jab of a bigger opponent and see how they countered the jab.

Great job. This fight is incredible to study. This fight caused me to really see why he was so great.

Now when I watch his other fights I see so much more. He was incredible

When you mentioned Duran head movement to bait Barkley that reminded me of Jersey Joe baiting Joe Louis.

High risk countering the jab with an outside slip to cross, but this is Duran we’re talking about

Duran was a true boxing master! Legend! 😀🥊🔥

When I watch duran videos it makes me angry when people refer to Durán as a casino brawler.

Duran was more technical than Mayweather, especially when it came to infighting and baiting his opponents.

Why didn't the footage show Duran's right hand counter at the end of the first round, that almost KO'd Barkley? He recovered and they both put up Ring Magazine Fight of the year.

He keeps leading with that head, though.

Seems like a lot of work. I’d recommend just getting taller.
