Boxing Glossary · technique
A defensive movement where the boxer bends the knees to duck under an incoming punch, then weaves to one side to emerge at an angle ready to counter-attack. The motion creates a U-shape under the punch. Bob and weave is particularly effective against hooks and is associated with inside fighters who work at close range.
