    Default Re: Throwing the Overhand Right? Where to move?

    I use it essentially in two ways.

    I throw it when a person is leading and coming forward with a left jab...and I just force it over the left to make contact faster then their left can hit...and follow it with a left hook. I use this alot and it has been effective.

    Also use it when I am applying pressure and cutting off the ring and have my opponent backed into a corner. In this case it is either an overhand right, or straight right...but I watch their feet and wait for them to transfer weight forward which tells me they are about to throw, and I let it go. Often they are throwing a right here. Again effective, and again followed with left hook and whatever else I got working for a combination.

    So usually, moving both forward and to the left when throwing.

    I feint with the right, then when they lean to their left to avoid the right, I come over the top and get them on the way up. It combines your power and their momentum.

    It is hard to practice on a traditional bag. But it is one I love to work on my Power Puncher 2000.I put the connection point up high and move the vertical pulley out to take up the slack. It's a thing of beauty.

    It is easiest to practice this punch on an uppercut bag---one that hangs horizontally.
