Boxing Glossary · technique
A boxing style that favours fighting at long range, using reach, footwork, and the jab to control distance and pick off opponents from the outside. Outfighters prefer to box on the back foot, moving and countering rather than trading in close. It requires excellent footwork, a sharp jab, and disciplined defence.
