Winky's lack of technique for punching just works for how good his defense is and pernells hands bieng low is only made up for also but his defensive skill and extremely unorthadox style..

Course it works for them..But putting theyr style to any old person just means loss of power and punching technique maybe even for them too..

Such as have your hands up and shooting either strait shot and snapping it out well is how to punch..

Winky has his hands higher then they need to be and when he jabs it is either slower to bring it down to the chin and shoot it strait or to shoot strait from where he holds at his forehead looses snap and comes down with it and isnt strait..

Pernell can use his angles to his advantage but having your hands low just looses the straitness and snapp of a jab and they become more or less backhands/slaps and can be used to set up combinations etc..

Not that my point is textbook but it is certainly a way to enterperet this..

If i were to make some sort of theory forwhere to place your hands etc i would say learn everything you can to the textbook and modify as you see fit..For if you havnt tried or quite discovered what is standard practice and textbook then its really unfair to judge when style and comfort is swaying your decision of styles
