If you were (or are) a boxer what'd be your go to punch(es)?

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.

All you need to win a fight really is a trained jab you can throw from different angles IMO

How would you throw a lead left hook? Jump in style?

I have long reach and that is usually the last punch fighters expect from a person my size. Element of surprise, I usually bait them with a few rights....a soft pawing jab........and then BOOM! It NEVER fails.

ski is a big dude...i would imagine if he jumps into it and lands it on somebody they're going to sleep lol

Roy Jones and "Pretty Boy" Mayweather,( not "Money" Mayweather) are who had me working on that for years, that and the lead right with a duck after it. Those guys taught me the art of perfecting EFFECTIVE pot shots and single power shots.

Left hook off of the jab

that right hand though

My son has a beautiful straight left but he doesn't like boxing. (USA Wrestling )

At the 1-3

Can I help with your right hand? Want it to be skrongerer?

 

[mr. smoke weed]

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.

How do you throw your hook? Thumb up or down? To the body or head more often?

Zab and his family has a new gym in Canarsie, Brooklyn. They lost the one in East New York. It's called PacPlex, its a huge compplex of different sports, I don't know if the whole building is theirs, but the boxing area is ruled by them. Star City is basura, I sent my homegirl there to train and she Skyped me to show what she learned and I'm disappointed in their trainers breh. It's not the same......at all.

The thing with me is that I was a lefty. I'm talking about a serious I did everything work my left hand.

My dad was watching play basketball with some friends when I was about 8 or 9 and he got pissed becuz I couldn't go right.

So from that moment on he trained me to do everything with my right. Becuz of that I even learned how to eat and write with my right. He put my left arm in a sling to prevent me from punching with it. There's almost no punch I can't throw with my right. But he really pressed me about that jab. He told me "Son, if you can hit people with this punch, you shouldnt have to worry about throwing anything else".


My son is only 3. He actually watches boxing with me. Lil homie is very active. I'm afraid he might have some sort of attention deficit but i cant wait until he's of age and catch him doing everything with his left hand so I can do that evil shyt to him.

Good parenting FTW!!!!

i was taught/told long ago to always TURN over your punches including your hooks to maximize your power. so turning your wrist and having thumb down or i would say palm facing the ground. i say i throw mine more to the body rather than head being that i like taking that lil extra dip for leverage.

I throw mine palm up with snap to the body
L with fury to the head.
@patscorpio I notice my lead right hook from the SP stance is particularly menacing. Any idea why that is breh?

well you're a righty? i think its mostly because your dominant hand is still strong no matter the stance
