Hesitation to throw a shot?

Listen, if you hesitate to throw you're going to get beaten up, why not throw and and get beaten up but at least you got some shots in as well, never throw without setting it up with the jab, i always jab jab jab then throw uppercuts and step in with the jab to do a hook then you wont be afraid, either way your opponent is still going to hit you so you may as well hit back.

 

how long have you been boxing for?

 

What about if you hook off the slip? Same issue?

 

i never heard for such a problem maybe it is really mental. I would suggest you to throw lot of fast combinations of mixed straight hands and uppercuts/hooks, it should make it flow. Also, try to finish with strong hook or uppercut. Make that combinations flow, so that punches can be the same as straights.

 

Do you have any video footage? Uppercut is really an opportunity punch, so are you talking in sparring?

Are you putting all your weight behind your left hooks and rotating your hips accordingly?

 

What does your body position look like after you've thrown the right cross in a 1-2-3?

 

Try some different thing. Try bending your front leg more. Or try setting up a single hook using a little head movement.

Perhaps you can even forget your technique altogether for a moment. Just do whatever it takes to comfortable throw a hook. And once you can do that, then figure out how to incoporate it into the rest of your style.

Without footage it's hard to tell though.

Also if you don't want to post footage publically, Steel is good at responding to PMs with good advice.
