The Mechanics of the Jab

[cocobeware]

I know it's splitting heirs here but with which knuckles,The two big knuckles index and middle finger?

Depends what the shot is and where its going.

Sorry but im still not really getting this jabbing to the centre thing.It feels funny to me when i come to far across to my right with it.
Should it just be my thumb or inside of my left glove that comes to centre?
Most coaches just seem to say that youre shoulder comes up to protect youre chin without really getting into where it should be landing in relation to centre.
If i stand in front of the mirror should it be like jabbing to my own chin?
I know im probably over thinking this whole thing but it seems to me like it would be important.

Feet a bit wide but didnt reach, if He had been standing the Hook would have got Him. Plus He gave his back foot a view by moving His front foothttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqH03LtRLJs

Nice shot,But that was a right cross wasnt it?
Any good videos that demonstrate a textbook jab?

no it was a right hook if your crosses look anything like that there is like 80% wasted movement in your technique

What Happens is, Dunstan throws a jab and Hits Him on the glove in good posture. Gurov thinks He is in distance and reaches with His Wrong . A jab can be used so many ways, its how its interpretated.

Actually from what i understand even a right hook can be classed as a right cross.I think the term right cross came from describing a counter to the jab.Although in the video it was a soutpaw jab so im not sure if that would still qualify.
