"Only a sucker gets hit with a right hand" - Rocky Marciano

Looks like an unorthodox sneak uppercut to me. I guess the slow-mo makes the look less like an uppercut.

Upon further looking it does look more like a unorthodox right hand. Moore's glove almost being titled upward along with Rocky moving forward makes it appear like one in full-speed.

What's the point though? I guess the name is fitting... always like to be a stickler about semantics and facts when correcting people. Don't worry, it's not annoying.

 

I would've called it an uppercut too.

It doesn't really matter I guess.

 

Yeah, I said it doesn't matter what it's called in my last post.
I was just a bit surprised it was being remembered as an uppercut. I've always thought of an uppercut and a punch driving upward through the chin, rather than downward (which Moore's does on impact). No biggie.

 

You trying to find your way out of a problem? :twisted:

I kid

 

Bit of a snob, wasn't he?

 

I think it's more of a mantra or a maxim rather than to be taken literally. Of course, all fighters get hit with rights. Every fight. Rocky sure did.
