Great video man it’s always a highly debated thing from gym to gym. Gotta shadow box that tightening of the lat but slowly. Off topic but you have an amazing excellent video on the overhand right… I know in most cases it supposed to be short and tight..right over the opponents jab and let that elbow go early but… what instances do you feel a wider more looping overhand works? It has been used MANY times with great success. And as a shorter fighter when I go against really tall guys I feel I land more the more looping I throw it as long as I set it up right and don’t make it predictable obviously…it would be interesting to see another video on that punch from you discussing the tactics for different framed fighters when throwing it. Thanks again for the great content.
Question: in this technique at the end movement the face/eyes will not be facing the opponent at all, isn’t this dangerous? I recall trying it and coach saying to never look away the opponent even though the punches is surely devastating
Your coach is correct - if the other guy hooks WITH you and you turn your head like that you’ll be ADDING to the pop on his punch. Basically making his hook even more powerful. We just had this very same scenario play out in Friday night’s sparring session with one of our guys getting dropped by a L hook, overhand R combo. I told him to quit turning his head too !
Guys when you throw this it is only powerful and effective short ranges. Pivot for range just like palm down for range, flat foot for close range and power just like palm in is for closer shots and power. So you will lose range when doing this. You're also more open and squared up, but I think that was pretty obvious. Maybe you guys have a different experience but as someone who boxes and believes in boxing flat footed more often, I feel very off balance, inefficient, and not effective when trying to throw with the same range as a pivoted one.
This is very true. Great at short range but not optimal for closing distance and also, not great for your knees. Anyway, it's till a good technique for what's intended for.

Very good giving us free hood real tips mister thank you man damn
Especially in mma with a more open stance!
That's the way I was doing it in training!
In uk they get you to turn the lead foot over
I coach my new boxers toms way it’s great it seems faster and stronger
Shut up @@fighterscorner6787
“Lead hand “ means this guy has an orthodox stance and this hook is with his jab hand?

Pulling your weight onto the back leg may make you turn back a little.
In boxing you are also always adjusting and changing positions to set up punches and counters also.

I also find it puts torque on the knee if you don't turn the heel a little when throwing with full power/range of motion.
