One of the greatest displays of a left hook in boxing history!

Very well said.

Too bad the Crack Head doesn't comprehend plain English...

 

Ok write every major Sports Outlet who covered the fight and explain how they are a bunch of crackheads who don't know **** because a hook thrown with the left hand is not a left hook.


Nay-Sayer getting too work on those emails...

I have a better idea.

Why don't you start a separate thread and call it "Left Hooking from the Southpaw stance" and see what kind of responses you get on the subject.

There are a few trainers in this forum and I'm sure they're willing to chime in on the subject.

You game, Crack Head?

 

Taylor is hoping his orthodox stand doesn't DQ him from great right hook discussions.

Looks like a looping right hand to me and nothing like a "right hook from an orthodox stance."

We're still waiting on your Crack Headed ass to start a new thread on the matter.

Scared?

 

We're still waiting on that thread, Crack Head....

 

I don't need a thread to confirm anything.


For Southpaw, use a ****ing mirror.

Right Cross

Two completely different punches but a Rear Hook works best as a body punch.

Here's the god damn deal breaker.


"I sensed that sometimes Miguel was breaking down and then he would come back sharp. Miguel Cotto is in shape," Mayweather said. "The right hook and the uppercut were working for me tonight. I had watched tapes of Shane Mosley [when he fought Cotto] and I saw that the right hook was working"

-Floyd Mayweather on the Cotto Fight.

For the record Mayweather is refering to the rear hooks he murdered Cotto with from the orthodox stance. He wasn't switch hitting. Is your boy Money May a crackhead that doesn't know **** about boxing? We use the term in the gym too. You would know that if you ever stepped in one. Now **** off!

 

BANG! DOWN! OWNED!

Or when they simply (temporarily) plant their lead foot behind them. Lots of fighters do this.

Of course he does! It's just not his main weapon.
Manny will sometimes plant his right foot behind him, specifically to set up the left hook. (Also to lure his opponent forward, but that's not the main reason.) Usually when he does it, it's during a right-left-right flurry, and the back foot doesn't go WAY back, so it's hard to see. One might even argue that are left crosses, but they have enough angle & start close enough to the opponent that they are definitely hooks. IIRC, he did this a lot in the third Morales fight, and also Marquez II.
(I don't care enough to check.)

He doesn't technically fight out of an orthodox stance, he just switches for the one punch. (Just like some righties will often throw a few quick rt jabs, without continuing in a southpaw stance.)

Tell Mike Tyson that you can't throw a hook from your dominant hand! Be ****ing serious. Tysons' rt hook & left hook were both deadly.

----------------------

The difference between a hook and a cross is the angle that it lands at.
Ask any boxer, ask any trainer. (Some will add that the angle of the elbow, when the punch lands, is a defining factor. Freddy Roach also believes the elbow should continue into the opponents' face, but that somewhat questionable.) The reason a lefty can't "technically" throw a left hook out of his normal stance is that the punch starts too far away to have the proper angle when it lands. It ends up being a cross, or the rather undefined "looping" left.

- but this is all definition nonsense, anyway. What makes a hook a hook, the reason a fighter throws it, is because, since it originates from close up and comes in on an angle, it's hard to see.
Everyone knows that the most dangerous punch is the punch you don't see coming.

 

Ok, Genius. I'll extend the same challenge to you. Why don't you start a thead called "Left hooking from the Southpaw stance" and see what kind of responses you get.

I'm waiting....

 

That's not at all what I just wrote. Not even close.

Who's the crackhead around here?

 

Somebody who knows what they are talking about. In the case of the Hatton KO, Pacman just happened to be in position to land with the left hook while his right foot was planted infront of him. Very unusual but that is what happened.

As you said it is difficult for a Southpaw to land a hook with their dominant hand against an orthodox fighter because as you mention, the distance is too great. But the stars do occassionally fall in line and poor Hatton found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time yet again. Nay Sayer veering this into dominant rear hooks not existing at all is well...crackish. Mayweather, Molsely, Jones Jr have all made great use of their self described "right hook" And yeah, Tyson would switch to southpaw to throw his right body hook/uppercut combo. And sometimes he wouldn't. I was taught "the bent elbow" definition apparently not unlike Roach or Mayweather, but like you basically say.."a hook is a hook."

 

Then maybe you need to LEARN HOW TO READ because the Crack Head seems to think that you can throw a LEFT HOOK from the Southpaw stance - and that is EXACTLY what the topic of dicsussion was before you opened your pie hole and co-signed for the other Crack Head.

So, if you Crack Heads are SO sure that you can throw a LEFT HOOK from the Southpaw stance then you shouldn't have any problems with starting a thread on the issue. As I suggested before, you can call the thread "Left hooking from the Southpaw stance."

I'm waiting...

 

Money May thinks you can throw a Right Hook from an orthodox stance, which is the same difference. So take it up with your hero, Mayweather.

I don't start threads for you and never will. But why don't you start another thread about me in the lounge so everyone can just take turns making fun of your crackhead dad again? That was hilarious.
