Re: Counter Left Hook, any need to follow up?
If you have an opportunity to hit your opponent again, you should take it. In the essence of combination punching, one punch creates an opening for the next.
Your opponent's reactions can tell you whether you should follow up or not. If your left hook stuns them, stay close to your opponent and if there's an opening follow up with an uppercut or even another left hook. If your opponent isn't the least bit affected by your left hook then perhaps it might not be a good idea to follow up the hook. Instead you ought to create some distance (jab out if you must), while looking out for their straight right, or right hook.
I like the left hook after the slip to the outside. You could follow it with a right hook or straight right to the body or head, or a right uppercut. It depends on what's open and how your opponent reacts.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
