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

[mr. smoke weed]

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

Yea man I'm a righty. My right hooks from SP stance look like randall bailey left hooks. My left hooks from orthodox look like BATB hooks

Uppercut. I would try to perfect that muhthafukka.

Jabs to the body

Jabs to the body

That's a bit tough of a punch to rely on unless you have perfect balance and excellent center of gravity. Unless you Dre or Floyd you gonna get countered throwing a long shot to the body. Just my opinion though. I really learned how to throw the overhand right correctly, and man what a punch.

Left hook to the body and the right uppercut for power. And just a solid jab to keep peeps at bay. I'm orthodox by the way.

The reason why Guys get countered throwing the body jab mainly because of lunging in with it
I was taught the correct way to do it was to completely bend your waist sideways to avoid getting hit with counter hooks and put my guard up to avoid a counter right hand

Yup exactly. It's a hard punch to throw without overextending your body.

Wlad is a master of the 1-2 he throws them things as straight as possible. I have a hard time getting the same results from the overhand right from distance. It's hard to clear your shoulder out and maintain velocity.

How Tyson used to do it

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

Uppercuts been my bread and butter, Ive always been able to throw the uppercut even when I first started out. Left or right to the head or body.

[The American]

The jab is the most important punch, it keeps your foe at bay, and sets up all combos. I always rely on a good stiff jab. If there's an opening, I will throw an uppercut. But only if there's an opening, UCs can leave you exposed.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

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

How did you fix it I have that same problem
