    2:05 right head hook, livershot
    2:57 jab to the head, livershot
    3:56 right cross, livershot
    4:31 left (slap) head hook, livershot
    Nr. 1,3,4 are already my favourites and I use them a lot in sparring.
    But I never thought on your point on Nr 4 to go exaggerated high to lift their elbow even higher. That was a very good point I will try that out in sparring!
    Btw I don't know if you mean the same but Nr 1 you can throw a overhand right too. It covers more distance than a normal head hook and forces your opponent to shell up high even better in my opinion.
    Thanks for the crisp video very well chosen combos and very good explanation!

    Maintaining the eye contact is pivotal to this move and setup I have learned. Also, utilizing proper technique incorporating the hips into the punch. I used to set this up with switch kicks 3 combination total (leg kick - liver kick - headkick and you will usually get the headkick.)

    Thank you for these tips!
    My best takeaways were the setup, breaking their defense prior to the shot, plus the anatomy tip of up under the rib cage and the punch being a blend of hook + uppercut hybrid.
    I can see where a Muay Thai knee or various kicks would work perfectly coming up and under too.
    Great stuff.

    @BasicTruth1109 5 років тому +2

    YOu have great points; however, the best set up is the jab to the face, left the liver, because the jab blinds them or pushes the head back which also blinds them or disorients the, keeps them at the end of your punch and allows you to slip under anything that they may want to throw, and sneak the shot to the liver with all of your power.

    I was jumped by a gang in the early 90’s. They surrounded me and as many as could get in shots were just raining blows at my head as fast as they could throw punches. I was trying to get through/away, and it felt like a guy punched me in the lower right rib area. It hurt so bad that I instantly thought my rib was broken. It took all the air out of my lungs and I remember thinking “That’s it… I’m going down.” Turns out he had shanked me with a knife really hard, and the knife hit flush on the lower rib that (sort of) protects the liver. It didn’t actually break the rib, but it was a pain that I can’t describe and i instantly knew that my body was going to the ground no matter what.
    When I got to the ER, the doc explained what had happened. He said, “You’re a lucky guy because if that knife would have been a half inch higher or lower it would have punctured your liver.” I asked him what would have happened if it had, and he said, “You’d have bled to death in about 1-2 minutes.”
    I give all glory to God for saving me that night! But yeah, the liver shot is a fight ender…

My concern is if I can be fast enough to throw the first punch (whether it's the left jab or right hook/cross) and then get in quick enough to throw a hook to the liver without getting clocked by a quick right before I can deliver the punch. Thanks for the info.

    I think a right cross (or in KB/MT) back leg front kick.. gets checked, checking leg comes down, guard is usually high and tight w/ the elbows not covering the body. But that right cross (orthodox) drops the opponents hands so as soon as they bring it back to shell a tight guard again, boom. (it really depends on the skill of the other person) For someone who's has basic boxing skills.. just rabbit punch them so they shell up and choose the liver or an uppercut... I love the right cross lol. Especially against southpaw, but every fighter reacts differently to them. I've seen some really high level Southpaws bringing back 1 arm cross-guards because their power punch is guarding their liver... Damn natural advantages...

    This may sound off the wall, but why not a right uppercut to the liver set up with a left hook to the head?
    Isn't it coming across at a better angle for getting up under the ribs, and with more power as well?
    I realize that no one is teaching it this way, but somehow I instinctively felt it made sense before I ever heard otherwise.

      I am pleased you like the idea ;o) another video I think would be great to see is a video about go-to options in areas where there is almost always a pause or where things stall out in MMA.
      One big example is like one fighter will go for a takedown and have an underhook so the other man will defend by taking a Whizzer and turning like for a hip toss. almost never turns into a successful throw for the Whizzer guy but it does stop the other fighters takedown attempt. the thing is there are great striking options there to tack on to the end of the hip bump like an Uppercut or pushing off to a round kick. I would love to see someone look at the various places where things tend to stall a bit in MMA.

    The same shot Aldo used on Jeremy, but Jose could have put more torque into the shot and did some real damage.
    Also, why is it that I don't see too may top MMA guys, like Aldo double up on the hook?
    A nice double hook...liver to jaw puts most guys to sleep.
    Coach John, what about a straight cross to the nose-jaw area then a left hook to the liver?
    Just curious...since they both weighed the same(honest opinion).
    Prime Chuck Liddell vs. Prime Dennis Alexio in a straight up stand up fight, how does it go?
    In my humble opinion Kajukenbo stylists, most have pretty decent hands/boxing.
