    Around where I train your right hand is mainly used for defence or the straight. Perhaps the odd uppercut aswell. A right hook on its own is non-existant.

    I never throw right hooks from an orthodox stance. The only time is if I'm inside, in which case I look to be on the southpaw side because I can double up on hooks to the body, left and then right and then go upstairs with a big right uppercut. If I can find the time, room and angle obviously to do so. But from the outside or mid-range, I never, never, ever throw right hooks. Or left uppercuts.

    Actually, there is an inexperienced kid who did that. Usually did it after I had jabbed, pissed me off proper because it is hard to see and he's so damn tall. Eventually I smartened up and brought my left hand back quicker.

    True, I hardly throw true left uppercuts but I throw a lot of corkscrews. That's my favourite punch, punches through the defence at an awkward angle, usually catches people off guard.

    My style looks like a combination between Jax from mortal kombat and a polar bear

    Actually, now I come to think of it, I lied. I occasionally throw a short left uppercut as a lead when in close and follow it with an overhand right. Apart from that though, I don't.

    I find it pretty hard to cork screw punches and create an angle of them. If I wanna find gaps I just rely on counters or feints. For example I'll throw a feint left hook to the body and then come over the top with a big right hand.

    Do you mean a proper left uppercut to the head or one to the body

    Well I only tend to throw it if it's a smaller guy and I'm punching down sort of so I can come over with the right hand.

    I throw it sort of to the upper chest area, not a proper uppercut just a sort of feeling sort, not full force or anything, but I feel it sometimes sets the guy off a bit and sets up the right hand perfectly.

    One thing is that it learns you a bit exposed to a short right hook while you throw the left uppercut.

    I only throw it because I feel that throwing the left uppercut sets up the overhand shot better than say a simple jab.

    just sparred my brother

    i was working on slipping and all that no taking flush shots which i did its quite easy as he flurries alot so you can just put the ear muffs on and counter back easy

    he also throws wild shots that you can counter with a short right hand which takes him apart but his wild punches mean you get tangled up alot

    by the way laugh = left sorry about that

    also what i found effective to get through a tight guard jab to the right glove left hook to the ribs underneath a overhand right to the left glove but stay leaning to your left then a hard jab through the middle of the gloves as your at a perfect angle to go through the gloves
