Kimbo's catch all question/answer thread.

[HerbM]

Do you have a coach or anyone who can show you?

If not, recognize that anything someone can quickly write here will likely be inferior to the good books and videos that are out there already...

Try MyBoxingCoach.com for a video -- the owner (Fran) visits here and will usually answer question in addition.

Read the Dempsey book, and others you will find in the "Important Post" sub-forum.

That said: Get your feet and stance right. Weight slightly rearward and throw the back hand while maintaining that good stance/balance by turning your hips/waist/shoulders and sending the arm STRAIGHT out to the target, using the turn of the rear foot (from tow out to heal in line straight at the target) to delivery power all the way from the back foot through that chain of your body to the hand.

As to the "haymaker" it is so easy to block that teaching you to "do that" would likely not be in your best interest. It has one advantage, if you do manage to land it then it has a lot of momentum/power, but there are other (and better) ways to get that advantage without (most of) the disadvantages.

Then try using a straight right after it. not no random huge overhand right. because 9 out of ten times its not going to work.
