Tyson left hook to body and head with an uppercut for good measure as he finished Bruno on the ropes.

Roy Jones left hook and right hand follow through with some uppercuts as he finished Paz.

Interesting video. I have always defined combinations differently. Although they did combine punches. Just, to me if you pause to assess it is not a combination. And then many I would call putting punches together, punches in bunches or flurries.

To me a combination is punches that are designed to work with each other. Not just right-left-right-left. But that's boxing, so many different ways to speak of it. By what I call a combination only about 5 of those were. #17, LL, Tyson, can't remember which others.

Going today Linares and Spence among a few. The gears that Spence puts on a double jab then turns it over to hook either hand is all one brisk motion when done right. Combos indeed have categories. The ones a fighter is known for that are incorporated throughout. Or the finisher type of reading the opening available right away and putting in numbers 1,2,3. Trained punches taped together. And some flurry combos that are more about punch and get out or just about blinding a guy for a temp reprieve. There is something beautiful about any combination ending with the uppercut. It's such a random direction punch that can leave you in a extremely vulnerable position for a topple or for follow up.

Santa Cruz has it down. I love when hand speed generates combos. THz uppercut needs to be thrown close in and with no tell-tale dip A you say,its a dangerous punch to throw.Bu I too love combo fighters

Anything ggg does. That punch that starts up and comes down like a sledgehammer is a beauty. Never seen it thrown like that. I remember that Guerrero berto fight where berto couldn't open his eyes during the post fight interview and was saying Guerrero didn't touch him. Ghost was throwing nice combos in that fight. That was the toe to toe fight where ghost landed those nasty upper cuts. Yes, a good combo is impressive and Santa Cruz with that speed and number of punches he can throw is amazing. Dam boxing is great
