punches

i tend towards the filipino approach to fighting donny in that i see it as a gradual degree of destruction...at least in sport in real life, i modify and tend to go for quick and escape instead of long and prolonged engagement. as for height are you saying you don't like to sit on thepunches? not sure what you disagree on...and yes styles make fighters and fights...lots of what i post isn't so much what i agree on it has to do with questions i see a lot and also just different ways to do things. i personally feel that boxing is like life not so much right and wrong,more like shades of gray or as Dan Inosanto told us once, i can't show you the way, i can only show you there is a path and offer some guidance you must travel it and make it yours..

I was just referring to the head movement with the right cross.

I'm around 6'1" I fight either Welter or Light Mid, so I'd never really lean, although I can recognise how it could add some extra pop.

I like the left hook to the body

well i find training isn't gospel, there is always an exception someplace look at the cross arm defense, at first it was picked apart, then the later posts started adding to it and changing things so it would work for them...thats my point no solution, but a chance to think and add to what is yours..a teacher can't give it to you you must learn by your path, he can only show a light down his and hope it helps you..

I usually throw the straight cross. It's a bit quicker.

ds Put up a B-hop compilation,what I was struck by was how compact his shots allways are,I think theres one looping shot in the whole thing.And even then its an outside overhand cross. Also note how he drives his hips,its what allows him to be that compact,and still hit with serious power

[Von Milash]

Am I the only one with enough balls to say that his left hook is pure garbage?

haha, well I don't mind the video much. I didn't really look at the left, but it did get me thinking about the overhand right, and how I can shorten it.

His execution is a bit suspect yea, but I'm an optimist.

Most orthodox fighters left hooks suck,his are way better then most. To throw it well you have to generally open up. He wont give up his defense for a shot that probably wont land 9 out of 10 anyway.
Thats why you learn the jab and the body jab
