Do people in classic understand....

many people call that kind of punch just a exagered cross...regardless.....the term hook is clearly over used for south paws anytime they throw the left.

 

damn right you fat ****ing freak (i mean dan...not you natonic.

 

First one is a overhand

second one is a cross

overhand..not a hook at all...

 

second one is a looping cross..... no way it is a hook..even if you you think that a southpaw can throw a left handed hook..this is not a hook..due to the elbow not being up at all......

cool gifs yaca,,,but you know **** about what punches are called.

 

i guess i will agree that a right hander can throw a right hook if he really brings his elbow up sharp (and hence a south paw could do the same) but yes..many so called boxing experts call anything a left hander throws with his left hand a hook...just because thats the major power punch a right hander throws with his left. A hook is much more effect from the lead foot. Due to the position of the lead pivoit foot....the back hand hook you cant get much leverage into...you cant get much distance...and the leverage you do get tends to throw you off balance.


I still stand by my position that hooks with the back hand are very real...and usually they are really crosses.

 

street right is through the middle generally...cross comes from your right side....and hits the guy from the left...usually when you do mit work you are practing a cross..due to the "crossing over" only occassionally due you really throw a truely stright right.

 

i would want to see it in motion but thats looking more like one of rockys hybred crosses overhands...the kind of dropped them down from high..but was mostly a cross.
