So why's it better then the jab?

Because of the amino acids in the plyometric levels of h20 and c02

Because your in a better position after you throw it, i prefer throwing a jab after but the left hook is better i'm not trying to convince you i'm just saying what i thought.

Theron, those guys are some of the best boxers in the world, and Lou Duva is a man who also works with boxing's elite.

Finishing with a jab is far superior to finishing with a left hook in terms of balance, unless you're a top lad and can do whatever the fuck you want in the ring.

You wouldn't be in a better position, though, from my experience. When you finish with a jab you can immediately shoot out another punch, like a straight right, for example.
With a left hook your hips still have to reset and in some cases, if your hook gets deflected or you throw it too wide and it lands on an arm or something, you're going to be off balance.

Well hey maybe you should tell Lou Duva, we all know he needs some help coaching...

If somebody finished with a left hook you would want to turn to your left taking the sting away from the punch and probably counter with a left of your own but by then the person is in their pocket and can easily move back or do whatever they want to dodge your punch or get out clean, if you throw a jab i would think to throw a right over the top, the difference is if you imagine a guy finishing a combination on you by throwing a left hook and him going back into his position and you wanting to throw a left hook or uppercut he can move back and counter again because he will most likely be in better position and balance. But if you imagine him ending with a jab he will be more straight up and in less of a position to defend than if he had thrown a hook and you can counter with a jab and work from there.

Anyway whichever you prefer dosen't make any difference to me so yeah

Personally i do like the jab but i still think the left hook is better.

Jealousy is a bad look...Some trainers wont be as great as others, it's just a part of life
It's all good

I don't give a flying fuck what Lou Duva thinks, finishing with a hook more often than not throws me off balance so I'm naturally not going to do it.

Because a top trainer says something doesn't mean it's right, for everybody. Fuck that. It throws me off balance.

honestly sounds like you go off balance with your hook than...work on your hook

[greynotsoold]

It was explained to me this way...You finish with a hook because a hook is very often a blind side punch that the other guy doesn't see coming. I always teach finishing with a left hand, starting with the straight left after the right hand (I call it a straight left and not a jab because, thrown after a right, weight transfers, and weight does not transfer with a jab).
If finishing with a hook leaves you off balance, don't blame the hook. Your feet are messed up. Try sliding your right foot directly to the right about an inch after you throw your right hand, then hook. Or the left foot to the left if you insist on being a southpaw. Don't slide it forward: Go the side and just barely.
