@EdwardDLuffy You have to be the first to land the punch. If not you have to pull back and do a jumping kick. The idea behind the jumping kick is that they miss and you land a shot, taking control of the fight. If they land the first punch, you’ll get knocked back so much that it’s difficult to recover control and win the fight. So you sort of want to “reset” the fight and gain control of it. Whether you pull back or just jump and kick, the idea is to take the lead back.
I’m fairly good at boxing, I downed 4 people and did 420 damage boxing with out a gun on drop.
Do you have a friend who you can practice with in the firing range?
