    It's a counter hook.
    And you have glass tendons.

    i don't think anyone around here knows what a check hook actually is, and neither do I. As far as I can tell it's a counter hook thrown kind of on the back foot against an incoming opponent. Either way, it's a counter hook

    A check hook is a hook where you land the punch and move to the side in one motion. So you **** your left hand and already put pressure on your right foot and a the same time you connect and side step.

    Classic amateur punch.
    Nonito didn't do a check hook, you really should stop listening to the commentary.

    This is a check hook.

    But according to some idiot's in the other thread (mostly enzo) any left hook that knocks someone down is a check hook.

    A hook comes more from body torque. Sounds like you were doing it wrong.

    A check hook involves hooking and pivoting your feet, using a forward moving opponents momentum against them.

    This was a standard counter hook with a **** load of juice on it!

    But mostly, I thought it involves paying a hooker with a check...

    You have to be Filipino to perfect it.

    Any other version is a 2nd rate check hook.
