False!! the straight right is exactly that.straight. thrown from a lower position with the pinky finger knuckle of the closed fist almost touching the nipple the punch travels in a straight horizontal line to the target. the right cross is a punch that is thrown from a higher position and moves left "across" the throwers body to the target usually with a slight downward tragectory. If the right cross is thrown from the "hands up" position and down and not moving across the body it would be called an overhand right" of course the dividing line between these punchs is blurry and a matter of opinion and viewpoint of the person calling the fight.
hope this helps
