The Left Hook Gap

[SugarBoxing]

Ok lazy asses, it is time to buzz the tower bag...

Consider 5 gifs below:

Kenny Weldon on the left hook

The first question is: why there is such a visual gap between Kenny with Average Jo vs. Danny and Ray?
Kenny and Jo hop from one leg to the other, they do transfer the weight from left to right, they do create a leverage. Danny and Ray pivot on the front foot, transfer more weight from front to back, and snap in shoulder. Both parties are not entirely wrong, but, I guess, all of you will prefer Danny/Ray technique. The second question is why? My only semi-answer by far: I feel it is hard to create the shoulder snap with the first technique (but I cannot prove it).


In case some of you wonder who is the best about my understanding of the shoulder snap - follow here:
