I have a very difficult time knowing whether to to slip left or weave under an opponents right hand. I often find myself slipping left directly into an overhand right when i think they are about to throw a straight. Like wise I often inadvertently get punched in the forehead as i try to weave under a straight that i thought was an overhand. Thank you very much to any one who can lay some knowledge on me.
