Special overhand

[OMGWTF]

If you try to throw it as he does in the video- and he's throwing that punch like throwing a ball- it won't be a hard punch because the technique is wrong. Jack Sharkey, top HW of the 1920s and 1930s, when he started the rap on him was that he threw his right like throwing a ball. He tightened it up and became a champion. But...
Suppose you are trying to throw a punch over a guy's shoulder? Let's use two orthodox fighters as an example, and I would teach this a lot, especially to shorter fighters. You make a move to the right, to get outside the opponent's left hand and foot- out of range, remember? So you are outside his shoulder and want to throw a right hand back over his shoulder...
To throw that punch, you get your arm in the same position that he shows, at the start of the punch. And you put your weight onto your left foot, and turn hard. The trajectory of the punch goes like this; from that position he shows, so that, at the end of the punch, your fist nearly hits your left hip. But you never straighten your arm, you keep it bent at a 90 degree angle. That provides some of the pop in the punch, you see?

Awesome job grey I totally see now it just got ALOT more powerful and arc's towards my opposite hip as im doing it in thin air.

So its about rotating your shoulder (internally) which puts the elbow up high and points the fist down and the hip rotation does the rest.

Brilliant teaching thanks coach!

Im so happy I can do all the boxing punches now!
