Wish I was 33 againI'm 33 today, but I feel healthy and more athletic (not just strong as before, but overall more agile and mobile) than I did before. I think if I'm healthy and injury free I'd consider fighting again.

RIP to your uncontested claim on the big piece of chicken at dinner
I don't get it. I can see about 90% of the punches that are thrown at me, but for some weird reason I can't move. Like I'm just stuck staring at the punch and when I try to get out of the way, I can't.
I started 2 months ago btw. Coach says I have a lot of potential.
it sounds like youre late. you are probably starting your slipping motion when the punch is already in mid air. thats too late. heres a tip. move your eyes down to the chest and you will see the punches before they come out. heres why.
when a guy throws his right hand the first thing you will see is his back shoulder turning towards you. this is your indicator for you to use to know that his hips are rotating and that a right hand is now starting to come out.
this is also why boxers show back shoulder movement to feint the right hand.
here is your point of view.
keep your eyes on the chest. you are looking for his back shoulder to turn in towards you. the back shoulder turn is your cue to start your slipping motion. if you dont start your slipping motion on time, when you see the back shoulder start to turn, you are late. dont be late.
there are two slipping motions.
the inside slip.
the outside slip.
i do not recommend slipping right hands outside.
the jab is a quick punch so to see the jab coming you will need to start your cue very early. once again keep your eyes on the chest area. floyd patterson said he would look at a mans chest to watch his chest muscles twitch. he said that since these muscles must enter into motion before the arm could extend to punch he used it as a precursor to know when every punch was coming. ken norton said that he watched muhammad ali's chest in their fights. norton said ali's chest would flex before every jab he threw at him which he used as his cue to know when to counter.
heres your point of view.
your cue for a jab will be activity in the chest area including the front shoulder. you are watching for flexion and twitches here. you will notice its harder to accurately read a jab compared to a right hand due to it quickness.
this is why sometimes you will see guys reach out to parry a jab and get hit by a lead left hook instead.
its very easy to misread the twitches and flexion in the already short amount of time you have to read jabs.
at your gym make sure you work on your slipping motions with a trainer or a friend. this is important, so dont forget to do it.
i also want you to download this gif to your phone and watch it in your spare time. when you go to bed tonight hold it up to your face and watch his chest closely.
get in the habit of keeping your eyes on the chest. watch roy jones fight. look at his eyes. they are always focused onto the chest of a fighter.
