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.

A counter-puncher is the fighter that waits for you to move first. The counter puncher attacks only after you attack. He doesn’t want to do anything until he sees your first move.
