Do you righties use the right hook?

[iksrtfo]

I can't land it and don't know if it is a commonly used punch, to hook with non-lead hand. Does anyone here use it?

[itliangladiator]

Honestly, I don't use it as much as I need to. I use the left hook a lot more. I use the right hook to the body a lot, but not to the head. I usually just throw the straight right or the overhand right.

[fernando4cv3]

my right hook is my best punch but i also mostly use it to the body i rarely throw it to the head as that throws off my timing

[iksrtfo]

the straight right or the overhand right.
What's the difference?

[Bill1234]

I typicaly don't, but I when I do, it seems to work well. I mainly use it to the body though. Ive had pretty good results throwing it to the head after slipping a punch though.

[precision]

i'm a leftie and fight in a orthodox stance so i can use the left hook as often as i feel that it can land. i just don't feel comfortable in a southpaw stance

What's the difference?

Straight right is straight and the overhand right is more of a looping punch. You use overhand right mostly on the inside. There is a lot of difference between the two.

[Spitfire]

Unless you're real close don't throw a right hook as a opening punch, you can see it miles off.

A straight right hand can be used as an opening shot though.

[Bazooka]

to throw a right hook you have to be on the inside, honestly I rarely throw it, unless I have someone on the ropes then you could mix that shot in but mainly its the left hook.

Check your pm

I use it all the time. Too much probably. Slip the jab, step in, right hook to the body, then one to the head.

[Relentless]

i have never landed a right hook or a right uppercut to anyones face before.

[jimmie]

I use it quite often. I hate it when I see fighters always throwing 3 punches jab,lefthook,straight right and always to the head. I do it but slide in some uppercuts,body punches and the occasional right hook or overhand. Im a rather well rounded guy.

[skunk]

if you fight on the outside you rarely throw it! feels weird tryin to catch sum1 wid it anyway! unless you ver close and throwing combinations!

[skipdog]

Never used it..

[austyn]

Its good to throw staright after a jab

[Relentless]

no, that depends on the situation.

Do you always box on the outside?

[Relentless]

nope, when i'm on the inside i throw left hooks right uppercuts to the body, left uppercuts basically anything but right hook/right upper cut to the face, i have used them on the body though.

[iksrtfo]

I have used it rolling a jab then right hook to the body, left hook to the body, left hook to the head. I can never find a reason to use it to the head though and I am looking for that.

[fernando4cv3]

actually after reading this i went to the gym and tried and use my right hook. worked great its was hard and quik. i was sparring a featherweight who was quik. couldnt catch him with the right until he circled me counter clockwise and i angled it. hit him and he was clearly hurt. didnt put all my power into though as it was just sparring

[RDJ]

nope, when i'm on the inside i throw left hooks right uppercuts to the body, left uppercuts basically anything but right hook/right upper cut to the face, i have used them on the body though.

Try Tysons favorite combo once, just for fun. Right hook downstairs, right uppercut upstairs.

[BITCH ASS]

Hell yeah. Right hook makes people stop.

With some people, it just snaps their head back so hard, they just spit out their mouthpiece and quit.

[Relentless]

you must be one bad mofo, i wouldn't wanna spar you.
