zab judah's counter uppercut is no joke!!!

[Relentless]

after watching cotto vs judah many times i tried to emulate judah's left counter uppercut today,

i am an orthodox so i rolled my shoulder to the right and just let a monster uppercut go, it went right through the guys guard and he had to hold on to me so he doesn't fall,

anyone else try emulate a fighter and made it work?

[MagnificentMatt]

Kinda weird, i tried a Frazier type deal and it worked...

Im usually more of a slick counter puncher so the head movement was there, and i found out, i can punch kind of hard when im trying..As in squared up heh.

Yeah, I use it many times and it's very effective. Just wait for them to throw the jab and slip it to the right while stepping in and then throw it right under the guard. Hits 90% of the time.

You finally landed a right uppercut? ;)

I agree though it's a great punch. I throw it a lot because I try to emulate Toney on the inside, with some succes. My competition not being stellar helps a lot, I don't need Toneys reflexes, I haven't got his opponents either (criticism that is often heard about fighting "unorthodox").

that's what's up...i try it all the time...i'd say 75% of the time it works lol

When a punch catches Floyd Mayweather, Kostya Tszyu AND Miguel Cotto - ITS NO JOKE!

The counter uppercut is great. He rolls and comes back with his 'power hand'. Floyd is a master at this, perhaps the best ever.

i dont really remember floyd throwing many counter uppercuts he usually counters with a straight does he not?

if you want to see judah's uppercut watch the fight against cosme rivera, i think zab was the ony one to ever ko rivera.

No, Mayweather throws a good counter uppercut.

Watch Floyd v Chavez for maybe the best uppercutting ever. At one moment he rolls and counters about THREE times. It is amazing.

I'm a bit confused about how you did it from an orthodox stance. Did you throw it with your right hand or left? Judah slips to the inside of Cotto's jab and throws it. Seems like it might be a bit awkward from an orthodox stance, slipping inside and then throwing with your power hand.

i threw it with my right ofcourse, i slipped the jab to the outside but the guy was square on.

[Little_Mac]

But if your ortho facing a southpaw you should probably slip inside right? like a mirror image of judah

Yeah, that's what I figured. That makes sense. I was just a little confused about orthodox vs. orthodox.

[Little_Mac]

Just my mind going here, but wouldn't it just as easy if not easier to slip outside and counter with the left uppercut? Or would this be a bad idea do you think? Orthodox vs. Orthodox of course.

That's what I was thinking, too... as it seems throwing with the right means I have to throw across my own body and under his jab... seems like throwing the left instead would be more efficient, possibly even more powerful.

when slipping outside you are in no position to be throwing a left hook or a left uppercut, if you do there will be no force behind it.

Because you would be on the wrong foot, the uppercut would be worthless. You could slip to the outside, duck underneath his arms to the inside and then throw a left uppercut.

In Zabs last fight (yesterday) he threw some of those, realy great shot.

[jonesjrp4p1]

in another thread called what punches amaze you....i mentioned zabs uppercut its pure and quick

[dimi_dinev]

A beginner's question: is it right saying that this kind of defensive uppercut is best for a left-hander against a righthander's left jab and for a righthander against a lefthander's right jab? Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm boxing since 2 weeks and trying to learn wherever I can.
