Not a go to shot I know but worth knowing every punch imo. Pacman uses it, Earnie shavers uses it. (with a slip but not turning it into an overhand)
So if you were orthodox it would be a right hook. Thing is a right hook how they are meant to be thrown is real simple you merely torque the hips raise your elbow and slightly adjust the arm for range.
But at long range this doesn't work because you have to adjust the arm real far and the arm doesnt get to travel a huge loop and build up a ton of speed and power.
The only way I know how to throw this shot for max power is to drop my rear hand to my waist before I throw it, then you can start a big loop from behind you and get some serious power.
Do you HAVE to drop the hand to get that big loop on this punch? Or can it be done straight from the guard?
