Re: Lead uppercut
Lucian Bute (a southpaw) uses the lead right uppercut to the body.
It's very effective.
As far as head goes, I'm a southpaw with a short 68" reach, especially in a light heavy / cruiser division where I'm weighed, and I would never use it as a lead.
I find uppercuts are good for counter punching, which I don't do, as you can land very powerful one punch knockout counters as you have the time and vulnerability of the opponent to help land it good.
I use it in a pressure sense, I put my head on the opponents chest and throw short hooks and uppercuts, that don't instantly knockout but wear the opponent down in time.
I would never lead with an uppercut, unless my opponent has 0 knockouts on his record.
