Pick Your Punch

[IamInuit]

Jab. It sets everything else up.

[:::PSL:::]

I like seeing conventional stance fighters perfectly executing the left uppercut.

Right now, JMM and Donaire are the only ones that are really good at it imo.

I have to ask, in this case it's an extraordinary punch, a given that is natural? Isn't the jab the basic of fundamental and first taught...as opposed to other shots with more of a pay off and higher difficulty to master?

Do you want Frazier or Virgil Hill .....then again Ruddock and jab were never mistaken for close buds I suppose

The effective jab is actually the hardest thing to teach but those who master it make it look basic and fundamental.

Well yeh. Everything off the jab indeed. Was just thinking of freeing up closet space to focus on foundation of my Frankenstein. All comes down to balance with it huh? A sharp cutting jab is a beautiful thing to watch

I think of Lewis. Not only was it a perfect set up for his right hand but it was also a jack hammer.

Exactly. Had good tempo with it...paw it for range-feel or stuff it. And in the case of Tua use it as masterclass.

I don't think there is a fighter in history that people see greatness in that just eludes me as much as Lennox Lewis. He had a serviceable jab. Hell Evander outjabbed him!

I don't know if it's a blind spot I have or the rest of you are related to Ray Charles

Way back when, I sparred a guy that beat an olympic medalist for the NABF title. He lost a fight for the WBO LHW title and he said my left hook was world class. In El Paso, Winky Wright told me that I had the best left hook he'd ever seen a white guy throw. I'll go with my left hook.

Eddie Futch
Ray Arcel.
Gil Glancy
Angelo Dundee
Jack Blackburn
George Benton

Whether they taught it or feared it, it was all about the jab.

Ruddock's Smash, for the fun of it
