Iv noticed that russian fighters tend to throw this punch a lot and most with enormous power, it seems to take there opponent by suprise even though it looks easy to see and seems to close the distance suprisingly quickly Beterbeiv and kovalev both throw it with huge power but what really got me think is when I saw the russian light flyweight sageulov throwing and landing this punch with ridiculius accuracy against Brendan Irvine (a guy about 4-5 inches taller than him and with a ridiculos reach advantage ) in theory he should never be throwing striatum punches against him but it worked. Can anyone she more light on this
Ask Zab Judah , Kostya Tszyu introduced Zab to a perfect straight right , not particularly hard but on the button .
Yes but he throws a traditional straight right , the one I'm on about is when the fight seems to angle them self and jump into the punch with forward momentum. It seems to be a punch from the russian school of boxing which is very unorthodox and very effective
Check out Eduard Troyanovsky's. One of the best examples of this. Arbachakov had a wonderful straight right too. Honestly, it seems logical to have it as a primary power punch. Maybe the Soviet trainers recognized this and ingrained the strategy in their fighter's heads.
I not talking about a traditional straight right. I'm talking about when the angle there boy to throw a spearing straight right, right down the middle like a corkscrew punch , is that what they do
