I dont really knwo where im going with this but, i was watching Darchinyan vs Catubay. It was a flyweight title fight. I noticed Darchinyan used only chopping, clubbing rights (actually lefts). I was wondering if it was technically sound to fight a whole fight with only chopping right hands.
They say Vics heavy handed for a flyweight. So my speculation was this..Was he heavy handed natrually or was it the way he bashes and clubs his opponent with the chopping right that made it look so devastating? I also think the way he holds his arms is suited just for that kind of punch.

But then again, Vic did get outdone by the "straight" right of Nonito Donaire. I notice with a Chopping Right, you would have to work real hard to disguise the winging of the elbow. Where as with a Straight Right hand, it shoots from a shorter distance with just as much power. So logically a straight right would be the most efficient punch to throw. Now im just kind of rambling
what are your guys opinions on the clubbing/chopping right hand?
