Sparring a hooker

[donnydarkoIRL]

If you throw a left hook properly you put yourself in a defensive position on the follow through.

...I was always trained to end my combinations with either the left hook to put myself in a defensive position or the jab to create distance. It could be wrong, there are very few things in boxing that are ALWAYS true.

I see what you're proposing here, I can see how that style would fit the American or Irish Style very well.

Where as you end combinations on a jab, I always end with a suite of head movement.
