Sergei's left hook counter to overhand right

[Deleted member 159002]

Twice Sergei counters his opponent's overhand right with a left hook. Can someone break down his technique?

time stamp would be nice

I'm guessing you're talking about 5:19 and 5:23.

Too lazy to watch the fight and timestamp them. But they all seem like the one in 5:23. You can see Miller winding up so Sergei slides out of the way. Miller is winding up and hitting so hard that he overextends or loses balances after missing opening him up for all kinds of shots.

5:19 looks like a regular jab first then Miller threw a overhand right as a form of counter. He's just throwing overhand rights everywhere, winding up, poor form and got countered.

Poor fight.

As for Sergei, he saw the wind up, arches back to dodge the overextending right, slings back to a hook. Very powerful counter.

5:23 and 5:41

yea same thing. Lean back, side step, hook. Way over extended on Miller's part. And no head movement

Could you tell if Sergei was pivoting?

Could you tell if Sergei was pivoting?

At both times, he's in an orthodox stance to begin with. Then the overhand right comes, Sergei leans a little back but his left foot also moves out to his left concurrently (I feel like the left foot should also come a little back compared to where it is to begin with), right foot staying where it is, and his upper body turning now with that swing of the left hook, so then he's in a southpaw stance with an angle on his opponent

edit: like what Fran Sands does when he throws his lead hook in this drill

watched the whole fight, didnt really see any clean over hand counters with a hook, before I watched the fight, I was expecting to somehow see a left hook throwin inside a looping overhand punch.......this fight was just a bunch of wild sloppy swinging by the american. I think thats pretty much the only reason this worked at all.
