Counterpunch (boxing)
A counterpunch is a boxing punch that immediately follows an attack launched by an opponent. It exploits the opening created in an opponent's guard. Technique Counterpunchers are tactical, defensive fighters who rely on opponent mistakes in order to gain an attacking advantage to get score cards or the chance of a knockout. They use their well-rounded defensive skills to avoid or block shots in order immediately to place well-timed punches on opponents who have lost their guard. Boxers who fight against counter punchers must constantly feint and conceal their offensive punches to prevent anticipation for the counterpunch. Successful boxers who use this style must have good reflexes, intelligence, punch accuracy and better-than-average hand speed. Notable exponents * Young Corbett III * Mike Tyson * Marvin Hagler * Bernard Hopkins * Ricardo Lopez * Juan Manuel Marquez * Canelo Álvarez * Chancellor Pharaoh Rogers,. * Floyd Mayweather Jr. * Willie Pep * Jerry Quarry * Salvad ...

It is believed Murray had been inspired by Jack Johnson beating Tommy Burns to become the first black World heavyweight champion. In his first editorial, Murray stated, "Boxing will stand for good clean sport. Its success or failure is in the hands of those who believe in sport of this character. Our energies will be devoted to giving the best paper that time, thought and money can devise." When circulation began to decline in the depression days of the late 1920s, the name of the magazine was changed to ''Boxing, Racing and Football''. I ...
