    I get told to throw it after every body rip or uppercut, seems to land pretty often when I throw it. Although I really do not throw it with a large loop, rather just bring my elbow out a lot earlier than a normal straight right.

    If you check my posts, theres a difference between a tight overhand cross,and a big looping overhand cross. In all honesty, the mechanics of both shots are so different, they should be considered different punches. One is a quick snap and drive, the other is more like throwing a baseball

    Like the windmill punch? No one should ever throw a windmill, ever.

    While I dont teach it,and heavily discourage it, some guys can time it well enough to get away with it,and be effective with it.
    I dont feel as vehemently about that punch as I do about a pawing jab, but I sure as heck dont like the risk/reward ratio on it for a taller guy.
    A pawing jab on the other hand, everybody in my gym knows that if I so much as see one,Ill kill you myself

    That little tentative paw out to try and find range. I bark that order constantly, if your going to throw it,throw it. Its not even a real jab its just thrown from a jab position,Tarver throws the thing constantly, Part of why Hopkins whupped his ass is because he thwarted it by punching Tarvers hand every time he did it. Everybody who's ever trained here, knows I loathe that b-s. If you throw your arm past your body, you might as well have some mustard on it. I have never seen the point of it, its easy to thwart.
    Thus the rule of the gym,I see one,I kill you myself
