I have been trying to figure what are good combinations to use when hitting the heavybag and if I decide to spar again, in sparring. I am 5' 11" 205 lbs, and I'm of average height, but usually the guys I have fought in the past are my height or a little shorter, rarely have I fought someone taller than me. Here are the combinations I have come up with:
1. Jab (move in), Cross
2. Jab (move in), Jab, Cross
3. Jab (move in), Cross, Left Head Hook, Cross
4. Jab (move in), Left Head Hook, Cross, Left Head Hook
5. [Inside Fighting] Right Uppercut, Left Head Hook, Cross
I know that Combos 1, 2, 5 work very well against most opponents. The big question is Combos 3 and 4, which are slight variants of each other. Combo number 3 is easier to remember, and works best typically with opponents who drop their hands. Combo 4 works well with opponents who keep their hands in front of their face, because the Hook sneaks pass the guard and allows the Cross, Left Head Hook to land. Should I use both, or just one or the other? I'm a bit undecided. Your input is appreciated, thanks!
