Footwork is part of it. You can move in and out to try and make them miss and then once they stop throwing when you move forward because they expect you to back out, you can just come straight at them. Now they are unsure whether you’re coming or going.

Another part is combinations. For example, you could start off throwing just 1-2s, a jab-hook, mostly 2 strike combinations so you get them thinking a 3 or 4 strike combo isn’t coming. Now they think it’s safe to just back out without moving their head or they might stay in front of you. Now you can start throwing the 3 or 4 strike combinations since they’ve got used to you just throwing 2 strikes at a time.

Then you can start breaking your rhythm if they start moving their head. So you could throw 2 strikes, like a 1-2, then they move their head thinking you’re going to throw a hook and you can stop for a half second and throw a kick while they’ve moved their head because they were expecting the hook.
