What's wrong with these hooks?

[nottingham90]

ive read a lot in here about elbow body connection I'm throwing the hook (which I do agree with) but looking at some photos I noticed a lot of elbow "tight" hooks but from the naked eye looks horrible on the shoulder. As you can see:

What's going on with these hooks and how to avoid this to avoid Injury?

I dunno if you can tell anything from a photo, it removes all the context. How do we know those are even hooks?

I'm no hook expert but your hands and elbows should still land in front of your shoulder...

look like shovel hooks to me (the second pic).. which is a mix of uppercut and hook.

It's either because it's thrown at such a short range that you can't throw it properly, it is sloppy or it is a hookercut and thrown like that on purpose. Canel throws a lot of hookercuts with his lead hand espeically because3 he feints a lot and combines it with uppercuts and body shots
