I have sickle cell so one of the issues I get from it is avascular necrosis(the bone doesn't get nutrients due to the sickling). It's worse in my left hip but it's why I've always had issues with my hands being brittle.

damn Joe
I remember when I first started doing knuckle pushups and crackin for real. I can't even imagine the pain if your hands are softer than Amir's chin

 

[mr. smoke weed]

unfortunately the pinched nerve i got from a gym injury to my neck took some zip out of my right hand...i got it fixed but it left me some issues on regarding how i threw a punch...as long as im cognizant of keeping my right hand short and compact i dont have any issues with power..if i start throwing it hard and/or wide too much i get that dead arm feeling which sucks

I remember the first time I got some REAL dead arm

I thought my shoulders were out of the sockets the way they were drooping. N my triceps were on fire.

Jab, step left and low then overhand right

EDIT: I also tend to throw reverse punches down the pipe via Lyoto Machida or like Dolph Lundgren did it Rocky IV due to my karate roots.

I throw low and twist from the hips..I aim for the balls, gets them out early, then proceed to throw a 3 piece combo on their grill.. two straight jabs then one last mean right hook, aimed at the eye sockets or temple (side of head).

Great thread.

When I first started boxing at the gym when I was 19, I quickly fell in love with the lead right hand. I was always one of those defensive minded cats, so I usually move around and set up that shot and work everything off of that. Over the years I learned to fight southpaw and developed all my punches to where I had no weak side. My lead left is just as good as my lead right and same thing with my hooks. My southpaw jab is prolly better than my conventional jab. I'm naturally righty so that's prolly why.

2nd best punch is prolly my southpaw right uppercut/smash.

I remember sparring a nikka a few years ago and slipping his left jab, and coming forward landing a jumping right uppercut between his guard. nikkas watching were like

Dude was rocked and looking like Cotto in the Chop Chop fight. I threw an overhand left just for shyts and giggles, but didn't put too much mustard on that shyt and that nikka ate that shyt too, but we stopped it right after that cuz dude was done on some type shyt.

Funny thing is I got accustomed so to throwing jabs that I hardly ever use a right hand unless im sure its going to land. Jabs in hooks.

And Im fukking right handed

Are you a counter puncher? That's what it sounds like to me

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

This thread got my thinking about that video clip someone posted in the OG ring thread a while back where that kid kept jabbing that one kid in the bathroom and repeatedly knocking him down

Yeah. I never threw punches in bunches.

Only time is when I'm on the ropes.

Dudes don't understand that all you need is some technique and skill and you can cut out a lot unnecessary shyt in a real fight.

the only thing on my mind when i saw that was this

the motion of the straight left hand naturally slips the jab. easiest counterpunch in all of boxing. had all day to throw it. didnt have to get hit with any of those jabs but his father had to choose to bring him into this world and yet not teach him how to fight instead

 

[Willy Waffle]

without a doubt i would say, the trinidad, straight right, left hook combo. it's funny cause im a natural righty and do everything in the southpaw stance from, bag work, drills and sparring. i feel more comfortable in the southpaw stance but to me i feel much confident in my power especially sitting down on my punches as a righty. i feel like if i ever get into a street fight, just by i'll go orthodox. my right hand is okay, i like my left hook out of all of the punches in my arsenal because of the leverage i get off of it.

 

[HARLEM AL]

Nah the cup gives me good protection on the hip so it's not a big deal and @HARLEM AL got me putting sponge in the wrap so I can throw the right okay just can't sit on like that but I don't spar that hard anyway.

Yeah I didn't spar hard either. The time I did I broke my damn arm against a big ass HW am. nikka keep fukking holding he. I got mad and threw a body punch. Went all the way through without coming back and my shyt snapped. My nikka I threw that shyt hard. I never threw 1 like that sparring.

shyt hurt like hell b. I said from then on I'm not sparring hard no more.
