Guarding my face

[Thuggish]

depending on what youre expecting, but at least at cheekbone level is good. that way you can do what we often call the 'oh sh%t block' if the other guys fast. at punching range, that is. watch especially feather weight and light weight boxers- youll see their hands are always up there. wait for when a hand drops, then see what happens (smack!)

that's a good stance to have your hands up by you cheeks because this way you can dodge,bob,weave,slip, and also protect yourself from getting hit and a good way too throw a punch and bring it back to your cheeks.
