Is corkscrew/bullet jab a real life boxing technqiue???

I dont think alexis aguelrro does the corkscrew jab? I will check ali fights to see if he does the corkscrew jab

Your right, makes sense! Is the corkscrew jab from marvin hagler? If anyone used it, it was Alexis Arguello, he used too put as much spin as he could on his jab and it worked well for him, used to cut people up like it was nothing.

I didn't bother posting on a thrwad yeaterday which asked just how many had real-contest boxing experience. Out of about 30-35 posts I think only about 2-3 had ever actually fought a legit opponent, many were going to a gym, a few had sparred etc. But if I may, I'll chip in on this. When the fist is closed, and arm extended, the thumb side of the hand is naturally about half-turned with the thumb pointing North-East. Early on, it was found that a punch was made better by completing the turn so that the row of knuckles meets the target horizontally. It's only a half-turn, and can be perfectly natural as well, depending on how your elbow joint is aligned at birth. As a kid I remember reading that Kid McCoy, real name Selby, i think he was a welter/middle, "invented" the "corkscrew punch" which inflicted cuts. A ring article debunked this, saying that the punch had always been in use, wasn't a corkscrew anyway, and had no extra "cut" effect. He committed suicide, I think, when he was in prison for...maybe..murder?? That must have been at least 100 years ago or more.

id say Ali invented it, not sure if he was the first though. I remember hearing about this. Wasn't Ali taught it by a martial arts master/bruce lee or something crazy like that? He'd torque his jab at the last possible moment to help aggravate the opponents swelling..

its a rea techique. most of whats used in ippo are real techniques but they exaggerate the effects. Your right, makes sense! Is the corkscrew jab from marvin hagler?

Well I thought that the corkscrew motion would slow the jab down because of the extra motion? its a rea techique. most of whats used in ippo are real techniques but they exaggerate the effects.

sure why not. Well I thought that the corkscrew motion would slow the jab down because of the extra motion?

sure why not.

I've heard the term used to describe a jab that you twist just before impact to worsen a cut you've already caused.
