I'm with Touch of Death on this. I've used back fists forever. In boxing I mix them with jabs, sometimes throwing them off the jab instead of a double jab. Sometimes throwing them off the left hook if he slips it and starts to counter. Sometimes I use them to get them to throw that counter right, which I try to counter with the left hook. I use them far less than I use a jab, but I use them. And I have a fast one - which usually hides that incoming right cross or overhand right.
Do I get hit sometimes? Well, yeah, it's fighting, (duh) I seem to always get hit.
Know who's the easiest to hit with a back fist while boxing? Guys who think it doesn't work because they don't throw any. Same as a guy who's got a lazy jab.
