Setting up the Double Left Hook?

[Rocky Balboa]

You could also get your opponent into the habit of catching your jabs, and then step forward with the jab (or feinting it), and shoot a left hook in behind their catcher's mitt.

ARGH!!!! I HATE when people do that... and I fall for it every time

Hooks are great when you can catch them flat footed with both shoulders over the top of both their own feet and you get them toppled through their centre line. Pac dropped Marquez that way, I'll find it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=simzQ...eature=related hook or cross thats the position to catch their feet in for best outcome Juan is actually past the position and in worse trouble with his body over his front leg ,he was going to get caught anyway by the look of it; leaning as he did and getting caught square by Mannys hook or he probably would of got caught heading back getting into balance anyway,with Manny doubling up.

I think that counters are most effective when your opponent is committing to their punches, and when they have little time to see the punch that's coming.

I think that Manny's jab made it easier to land that cross, since Marquez had less time to react to the cross, and also because Marquez was set on countering the jab with a left hook to the body. Marquez was also off balance and in a vulnerable position as you've seen it.

My coach once said that sometimes you'll want to miss with a punch so that your your arm blocks your opponent's view of the punch that you'll throw behind it. It's a dangerous tactic, and you probably have to have a good idea about your opponent before you attempt it. I guess that it's done best when they slip to outside of your arm, and either they don't counter, or you catch them before they finish their punch.

Your left hook has to come quick behind the jab/feint, and you have to be close enough to land it effectively. It's harder to do if they have quick feet and/or have good head movement.

Two rounds ahead 10/8 on one pro mistake, its worth studying.
I liked how Marquez had it in him to check the right hand with his left right on the end of it ,but it got him into worse trouble..

Everyone already stated pretty much everything i could've added...

I will just add - KEEP YOUR RIGHT HAND UP!!!

[Maruxx1]

To set the double left hook, you must throw a left jab while your right hand is blocking your face. As you throw the jab you have to lean into the right side of his body. Use maximum Leverage for more Power as your throwing the left hook.

Tip; Don't throw the jab then go down. Throw the jab AS your moving down.
