for orthodox punchers. :Moon:

[Tribax]

looks like he's trying to throw a elbow or something

for orthodox punchers. :Moon:

yuh huh. there's a right hook button combination on the rocky video games for orthodox fighters. :P

[Luke Hughesy]

Isn't a right hook called a "haymaker"?.

[Von Milash]

yeah, you could say that, or a looping right. throwing a right hook like that guy is doing will never land. unless you've got a guy on the ropes and/or are inside. then you might sneak it in, but generally the only thing it works on is the bag.

[hitmanhatton]

von cause there is such a thing as a right hook and it can be landed as a counter to the jab

[Von Milash]

coming over the top isn't the same as a right hook. but if can video it for me then i'll believe ya.

[hitmanhatton]

an overhand right is near enuff a straight punch but anything over around 25 degrees bend in the arm is a hook so a right hook as a counter to the jab is highly possible, tbh it works best with a sidestep

[Von Milash]

25degrees? Please provide a reference.

[hitmanhatton]

someone said it on here scrap or some one but look at this


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_(boxing)

note the words right hook

[Von Milash]

I didn't see anything that had "right" and "hook" side by side.

[Punisher136]

A right hook does exist. That video is not what i have in mind but there is definitely such a thing as a right hook for an orthodox fighter.

[Von Milash]

cool. good luck with it.
