Punch/strategy question
So I have this counter is used to do alot and it brought me alot of success but I was wondering if there was an actual name for it and if any ring legends have done it or were known for doing it. Essentially, after getting my opponents timing down, when they would throw a jab, I would basically slap it down with my lead hand and immediately fire back with a cross or overhand punch catching the opponent off guard. Sometimes it would rock them, sometimes it would drop them. I've only seen it done, as far back as my recollection can go, once and it was in an mma fight. The finishing sequence to Usman vs Masvidal 2 except Usman did it to Jorge's rear hand. Has any legend of the boxing ring done this on a regular basis or with great effect to anyone's knowledge? Just curious about it and if it had a name to it like so many other punches and strategies do. Thanks guys!!
