I'm a tall, lanky Outside Fighter type boxer, and as such I'm used to work with straight punches (like 1-2, 1-1-2), and some straight punches involving Left Hooks (like 1-2-3, or 1-2-3-2). However, it gets rather predictable with using all that, so I thought I'd reverse the order and start using a Left Hook, Cross instead of vice versa.

I know you can set up Left Hooks with Jabs, or with Crosses, but I need some creative ideas to set up a Left Hooks. I've watched Ali fights and I've seen him wait for his opponent to come into range, and he let loose with Left Hook, Cross, Left Hook. So any ideas? Thanks!
