• Why this fighter's counter striking wins at every distance โ€” the mechanics

    He doesn't counter from defense. He counters from stance. The trigger isn't his opponent's punch landing โ€” it's his opponent's weight transfer to the front foot to punch. He's reading the weight shift, not the punch. This means his counter is in motion before most fighters even see the punch start.
