Good Question
Again like you said it really is up to an individual's style and what they prefer.
For me I never have anything set in concrete I just do what comes naturally.
I tend to block and parry a lot more than evade punches using head movement, this is one big factor by itself as you will have both hands free to do what you like when slipping and bobbing and weaving.
For the jab (orthodox fighter): tap it down with lead hand and then counter with your own jab (off same hand)
Or
Slip to right, left jab to body
For cross: tap down with right hand and counter with left hook or jab
Or
Slip to left and counter with right hand to body (make sure you have one mitt near your face as a backup)
For left hooks: block with right arm and counter with jab
Or
Duck and counter with left hook
For right hooks: Block with left arm and counter with a cross
Or
Duck under and counter with hook from either hand
Uppercuts: block and counter with a straight punch or hook.
Again its pretty brief and its just me, others may differ drastically, it works for me but might not be other fighters cup of tea.
Hope it helps
