Should taller fighters throw Overhand Rights? Why or why not?

[Salty]

I think it works great against a shorter fighter, especially when you start timing their jab. The movement knocks their jab off course and allows your overhand right to connect perfectly as they walk in, does some great damage.

What your saying isnt a looping shot though is it?

For a big bloke to use it against a short bloke, an angled fist with elbow down as in a straight shot over the top of their jab from over the top of their elbow point can do that nicley with less of an opening left.

The overhand bomb leaves alot of space as its a looping shot over their bicep or shoulder , I think its better suited to if you have ducked and gone under the arm; or switched feet and threw over the top of what was comming at you as you switched, or pin the jab or even knock the jab with your lead and come over it with your rear arm (like Kt would do ,measure with the ariel and then come over it or through it once it had covered his intention.) All suited more to the same size opponents or shorter or for fighters with flexable legs who can roll, move and shoot in one action.

I remember seeing a clip of Pac doing something like this. He rolled under a left hook while throwing his overhand left and stepping out to the right. Was an awesome maneuver, but I doubt many people if anyone could pull it off regularly.

I should have read the posts better, but thats what I was taught was an overhand right, so just assumed that what he was talking about.

Im not sure whats ment either, to be honest mate; but overhand right has me thinking about a looping shot over an arm.
Pac does some great things on the move,I think I've seen that one you mention.
Roy when he ko'd (Glen ?) that time with his hands behind his back,duck and move and then swipe to the temple ,was a simular type of move but very extended and in longer stages.
Great finish anyway,as are most shots that unexpectantly rise up over a shot that already been throw and missed it target cause they are still comming at the stage.

Theres a crisp cross, and then theres the windmill overhand,it read to me that the original poster meant the windmill overhand,I mean maybe I got it wrong, but it was how it read to me

Dont use overhand if you are tall. its spend to much energy and its easy to counterpunch
