    Downwards. Because if you're punching down at an opponent you leave yourself wide open for a slip and counter up top if you over extend and miss your big shot. That's what makes Tank very dangerous in this fight, because he can explode at any second.

    Tank & Ryan are both used to punching up & down respectfully.

    On a heavy bag punching lower is easier
