I've recently been going to a boxing gym where my trainer does a sequence like this..
1. Jab
2. Cross
3. Lead hook
4. Rear uppercut
5. Lead uppercut
6. Rear overhand
However, I was looking up boxing combos to practice and noticed that Punch #4 is a "Rear hook" on 85% of the articles..
Those articles went like this:
1. Jab
2. Cross
3. Lead Hook
4. Rear Hook
5. Lead Uppercut
6. Rear Uppercut
I spent 30 minutes googling, trying figure out why this is. It's probably obvious and right in front of my face somewhere.. However I figured a simple post can solve it for me.
I'd like to look up combos for the correct one I SHOULD be doing, but don't know what to even type to search for them...
Certain punches should be thrown due to the first effective punch landed. The Jab lands first, then you throw the right hand because the jab blinds your opponents, then setting up your power punch, your right hand, then the left hook because you opponents are blinded with the right hand and their head is turned away from you, setting up the left hook, then your opponents will raise their hands to protect their faces and this sets up your body liver attack and last is the uppercut punches, then stepping back with your hands up and sliding, or stepping over.
Lead uppercuts are usually only thrown when your opponents use a higher guard defensive style, like Winky and other boxers like Mike Tyson, watch Tyson vs Razor Ruddock and his leading with the uppercut and doing serious damage to Tyson even rocked him.
So it should be.
Jab
Right hand
Left hook
Body shot
Body shot liver
uppercut
jab
jab step over and step back, hands up protecting yourself and moving around your opponents avoiding their right or left counter punches.
Punches should be thrown in combos of 4 or 5, due to the opponents protecting themselves while covering up and not throwing back, while you anticipate and catch and counter attack or a simple wild street fight head down attack.
Also remember to place your damaging power punches to certain vital organs and head shots, like the liver, solar plexus and temple to the head and back of the ear drum, also the eye socket and nose and floating ribs and center abdominal core or stomach era.
Fighters just don't throw wild punches everywhere like amateur fighters and MMA fighters, just watch Chavez sr and his body attack and head attack and watch Floyd and their pinpoint placement of their attack to their opponents and Chavez sr high knockout rate, because of this and not just punching power.
Also study Whitaker and his head movement and still standing there and slipping punches while attacking with pinpoint body liver punches and head attack.
