Dillian Whyte's OH Right =

He throws an overhand right fine. Nothing wrong with his technique.

 

What amazes me more is that no-one of this forum (which harbours some of the sharpest boxing minds anywhere on the internet) has commented on Joshua's own right hand.

Joshua has one of the worst right hands I have ever seen from a "top level" fighter.

Joshua seems incapable of throwing a straight right hand with his elbow high and then bringing it back in a straight line back to his chin. Instead, Joshua's elbow is too low and he often brings his right hand back in an arch OVER HIS OWN HEAD.

This means that a fighter with a fast counter left hook will have a clear shot on right side of Joshua's head. A head which has no movement at all - ever!

Perhaps this is all too obvious for you geniuses to acknowledge...

 

What your describing in regards to Joshua's right hand seems physically impossible. How can his elbow be too low while is hand is also up over his head, is he Mr Fantastic and can stretch body parts like his forearm to do what you are describing. Surely if his elbow is too low, his hand can't be too high?

His right hand seems OK to me, thrown from the shoulder, usually comes back into guard position quickly.

 

What the actual **** did i just read? Either im a dumb **** or you are actually a genius.

 

His elbow is too low when he throws his right hand. Your elbow is supposed to be high, which in turn makes your right fist horizontal (or more than horizontal).

It's when he's bringing his right hand back when he is arching it over his own head.


I am astonished that nobody has noticed this. Everyone I seem to tell just glazes over.

 

His overhand right is natural, he follows straight through his target. He also throws a nice short right on the inside and shows glimpses of a tight left hook inside as well.

 

Go to 4:55 of this video to see how poor Joshua's technique is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCGdsgV3zVU

 

Ok now I get what your saying and yes he usually keeps the elbow low and tight to the body when he throws the right, which isn't how most throw it, but Wlad does the same thing and his right hand is a thing of beauty. Probably does it to not expose his body to a counter body shot.

As for bringing his arm back too high, I've seen him do what you describe but only when he is jumping back. Usually he brings it back too the shoulder in a direct line.

 

I'm not a Joshua wagon rider but you can clearly tell he pulled his arm back as such because he knew his job was done. That is the only example in the video of him doing what you described

 

Oh come on, now you're just trolling, that's not how he usually brings his right hand back, he was just putting a flourish on a KO.

 

Or his matches might get shorter and shorter like David Price's :think :!:
