Check Hook Question

That's not happening!

 

Great post.

 

I swear it goes back to when Mayweather beat Hatton in 2007. Floyd came out afterwards and said the first knockdown was from the check hook which put Hatton in the ring post. He explained the details of how it was used and learned in a certain gym where he trained.

From then on everyone referred to it as the check hook. Or should I say it became used a lot more.

 

Just realised I have posted previously what you already said first. Apologies

 

What if the fighter is Slovakian? Will it be a Slovakian Jab?

 

I honestly thought this was going to wind up producing a ban before I clicked on it.

 

The check hook gave Pulev fits once Wlad realised he wasn't going to outjab Pulev.

 

I mean, a check jab is a more commonplace thing and not that farfetched to hear called frequently on commentary. It's just a stiff backfoot jab to "check" the opponent's momentum.

These were terms used in American gyms for a long time before Mayweather introduced them into the common tongue.

 

Lost art of inside fighting.

 

Yea I was more poking fun at commentary teams and how in the future there will be no "jabs" or "hooks", only " check jabs" and "check hooks" so they can try to sound more insightful than they are
