Under a jab is good but look out for left hook on your napper.

Oh aye, Pac does a lovely right to body then right uppercut.

First saw it on one of his training vids, sparring.

I use it a lot inside. It's easy to hide and when thrown at the right distance relatively safe. As others stated it often clears the path for an uppercut through the middle as they pull back their elbow for defense. There's no liver on that side so it's not the most effective punch (I've never been troubled by one), but it can set things up.

i use it alot

I'm a tall guy but when i get my guy going i like to stand in mid range and bang the body which works really well.

i tend to use the right hook as leverage on my left hook to the body. However i have recently started using it to bang the solar plexus which really hurts people and then i follow up with my left to the ribs.

Wouldn't that be more of a right uppercut unless you throw it while angling off?

thats a hard punch imo. If you like to fight inside your opponant i guess it's more suitable and easy.

I've seen bad things happen to people caught with that punch, very respectable shot if you can throw it well.

You could spin your opponent with the left hand (fake hook behind the shoulder) and then throw the right hook downstairs. I know it's not really common and perhaps not what he meant but it is possible if one of the boxers is positioned in an angle.

right hook followed by the left hook to the body bound to get clipped when doing it but i like it, i believe in body shots even though they dont score you jack shit

Make sure to use it both short like Tyson and long like Jones.

Do you side step? Rear hooks are still the 'dark side' of all punches regardless of stance, try etching your head to the right (look there) then step inward left and throw the right to the body as you strafe across -for some reason it takes their attention away from the punch. It is a very punishing blow to land. If they buckle, you get a free lead hook to the side or back of their head. Works well against those in the same stance.

well kinda i sometimes use my right hook just to bang there ribs to get my leverage in my left

but banging the solar plexus i either use a right uppercut or i throw my double left hook step to my left and use my right into the pit of the stomach

I might try spinning them on to it

SS i roll my head as i throw the hooks. Alot of guys when getting hit to the body fire off without accuracy. Although sometimes you get a huge right to the head
