Orthodox Right Hook

[God.in.my.corner]

sound advice, thanks.

I'm going to try to work on that inside slip of a jab and right hand counter. I was always taught inside slip=L hook, outside slip= R cross. My inside slips are always quicker anyways. Is it a straight shot or kind of a mixture? Can it be used off a dip/roll also?

George Foreman used it most successfully as a body shot. Most fighters use an overhand right instead of a right hook...Mike Tyson for example, he didn't throw a Right cross, just that slightly arched overhand right and with devistating results.

I mix it in combos to help open up holes in an opponent's defense. One of my favorite combinations is Left hook (body), right hook (body), left hook (head)....and you could add on a right cross(or an uppercut) and another left hook if you like but that quick 3 punch combo is great when you have your opponent pressed against the ropes.

Tyson used right hook a lot:

If you can make it work for you then it should be thrown.

In my opinion it can be thrown its just a bit risky... i generally throw it after slipping to the outside of a jab, then from there shift my weight forward while dipping to the body but at the same time throwing a right hook at head height over the top of their jab.

This works for me, but i had to spend a lot of time in sparring making it work (only time ive ever been dropped was a counter to this in sparring when first using it) so either way if you want to throw it expect it to land weak if at all for a while, just until you make it work.
