Blocking the incoming attack with the inside of the glove. Most commonly using your lead hand to block his more powerful hand and you rear hand to cover his jabs. Parrying requires excellent hand speed and commitment to take advantage of any openings exposed and it is possible to set up a lazy or un-observant parry with feints or doubles. If the back of the gloves are used, or both of the gloves are used in defense that becomes a cover rather than a parry.
