Landing Hooks and Uppercuts from the outside.

[donnydarkoIRL]

I've got a nice hook, but I've let it loosen in recent times.
I need to begin tightening all limbs once again.

I feel since i've sparred with pros I've encounteed leads with unusual punches more so I need to expand my own repetoire of leads.

A little tip, the problem usualy starts with the feet not being right and to compesate the shoulders are overcompesating and tighten as does the lower back and groin. Making it hard for the elbows to be where they should be on the ribs where they have the ability to feel where they are. giving a sense [ feel] for direction of where to go, distance is lost.

Excellent advice.
I understood it first time round this time

I was thinking for a LH to step as if with a jab and twist on extension with the hook.
I haven't experimented yet, I will tonight, but it may work.

This also may help explain why I was experiencing alot of lower back pain for a while when I was working on using my left hook a lot. It has since stopped as ive shortened it, but it was always sore.

Offensive and defensive
Hook,you have to widen it out a little from the outside to make your reach
Defending,step in past it,and uppercut

Uppercut,I really dont recomend an out uppercut,but you have to open up your arm angle,and you will have to make a step with it,that may feel like a lunge to get anything on it
Defending,block it out,instinct says to block it in,dont,block it out by twisting your hips back,and as your blocking it out counter with an overhand cross

Practice ; Double up on them while moving in.
High and low or low and high, first one gets the reaction second one gets your distance and lands in the reverse spot to his arms reaction to the first one. You'll kill two birds with one stone.

If you're going to throw a lunging hook here's what works for me...


Set up the right cross....feint the right cross...when you feint roll your body weight to your left side and then push off and leap in with the hook.

This way you have time to see if they buy the feint....if they don't then hold back the hook and keep pounding the 1-2 and it will eventually set it up
