I have been doing boxing for 5 weeks and i have a question that was never answered in my gym. The question is when you are throwing the jab cross where shud you hit the opponent when you throw the cross I know when throwing the hook you shud hit the temple but when throwing the cross I dont know where to strike is it the forehead, chin where?
You mean a straight cross? yeah?
Depends on where his head is facing to at the time. side is preferable.
Temple
Hinge of the mandible
mma gloves or bare fisted: Side of neck if its exposed, a rare shot in boxing.
Never try to hit his forehead if his head is turning towards you, go for the chin.
If you cant read him yet; be safe and go for dead center.
