if you look closely he is side stepping him.
if you press down on your front foot and twist, and swing over your back foot in the same motion, your body swivels.
and that lets the southpaw side step a right hand.
the other way he throws the check hook is with a step back.
you press down and push off on your front foot into your step back and let the other guy lunge into it, as he tries to cross the gap to compensate for the space your step back creates.
thats why a good step back, and a check hook, are nice moves for a counter puncher to pick up. they go together well.
most of the check hooks you'll see southpaws throw are over the top of the orthodox jab and side stepping the orthodox right hand. you should see crawford doing that a lot tomorrow. i think thats why he switches southpaw. so he can throw southpaw check hooks with his right hand. he really likes that punch.
