Just watch Thomas Hearns he uses it perfectly but be warned if your not very fast don't use it you have to have fast reactions to use it otherwise you might find yourself on canvas.

Yeah, as I was reminded by the trainer yesterday, if you arent VERY fast with the jab arm, youll get it pushed down and slammed with a right hand. One of the pros at my gym is real quick with it.... makes his jabs to the body hard to stay away from.

cougar: stick to basics. your hand at your hip aint basics.

Hajime No Ippo isnt an accurate representation of boxing man.
They model their fighters on real life people and all the fights have...to an extent...happened before.

As for the flicker jab...well...it isnt "real" in the sense that no one calls it that.
Its just a jab from the hip. But their arent any real reasons why you would want to use it unless you were over 6 feet tall and had really lanky arms.

Nuff said.

I think its an impractical technique anyway.

Sawamura's berettas are far more effective
