Sparring a hooker

And this stuff takes practice, just like any other boxing skills....hooking off the jab is difficult too

I thought you were talking about jabbing off the hook?

Well both of them are hard to do.

If you hook off the jab a la Wlad Klitschko it helps open up the defense for the right cross.


If you jab off the hook a la Ricky Hatton you're mainly just trying to get space between you and your opponent and keep out of their range after a combination.


One puts you in position to land more punches the other takes you out of the range of your opponent.

The thing is Ricky will never throw a jab after a left hook.

He can't do it because of the hyper extension in his elbows
