    Funnily enough that was pretty much the first time it was used too.

    I guess the term "counter hook" wasn't good enough for some.
    What's next? A jab becomes a long-arm left straight? :p

    To be fair it wasn't used much before Hatton-PBF, mainly because most of the people who started using it after the fight didn't know what one was until Manny Stewart told them in the commentary.
