Is it bad to dip my right hand for sparring? (Video)

Post this in the training section.

You're throwing your right with your left by your side....I'm confused. No I don't. the left is up when i throw

I punch so fast that it might not matter but I'm still curious... Shane never dips the right hand and he's got good fundamentals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdtfmhisHzU&t=137s

Maybe I should have been clearer.. Is it bad to dip the right hand when going for head level, against a similar height opponent? You obviously dip for the body.

' I think you need a new punching bag setup i threw it out. I can't hang it in the roof and I destroyed it.

The answer is it depends on your style and your intention. When I box I use a lomachneko dip where ill dip to the right. It does telegraph things and people can catch it. Sometimes I even dip my hands as you say. The thing is though is that you just have to be aware that you're doing it. Sometimes you can bait opponents to throw the kind of punches you want. You leave an opening to make your opponent believe they are safe. From that dipped position I can bait opponents to throw jabs that I can counter. It also sets up throwing a lead straight left combination. Hooks to the body or head. I combo this set up a lot with how Canelo throws his leads hooks. A lot of the time he throws it low to hide his intentions. That way mid throw you can choose head or body shot. My best punch is my lead right hook. Compact and easy to pivot into and away. oh I am aware of it and it does seem to generate more explosiveness than non dips, so that's why I tend to do them shadow boxing.

Hey bro..Make these threads in the training section. Second, don’t speed up your videos ;) And third.. “dipping” a right hand isn’t a standard. The example you uploaded can be a counter while you’re slipping the other’s shot. There are different heights of opponents as well the shot you demonstrated means nothing tbh without context... and referring to “power” makes me believe you are a Hearn intern that plays with fire in basements I don't know what that means but I would like to see you throw a better right hand. it wasn't speeded up.
