Check out the right hand of Veeraphol Sahaprom in my other thread in their 2nd, and 3rd matches especially. Against as good a fighter as Nishioka is, to land it so often and with such frequency is highly impressive. He uses his right hand, as I've now noticed through all the southpaw fights I've seen of his, as a jab when he fights southpaws. He has an amazing jab, but uses it very little and ends up throwing lead right after lead right against southpaws.
Another guy, while we're off the main topic of general power and speed etc, is Ernesto Marcel. He used it exactly like Mayweather does today and probably just as good. Underrated fighter in general though.
It's pretty difficult to notice here due to quality, but this is his last fight, against a prime Arguello and you can see it in action, albeit only in a short, bad quality highlight video that is a highlight more for Arguello than it is for Marcel considering Arguello only won about 4 or 5 rounds out of the 15 and got a bit of a boxing lesson.

Right hand to the body
Im not trying to hijack this thread, but who had the best right hand to the body? I was watching the Louis-Baer fights again the other day and no heavyweight (or possibly any fighter) had a better right to the body than Louis. Who's was the best in history?Comment

Yeah I was going to mention Ray Robinsons punch. Spinks had quite a nice straight right to the body.Originally posted by NChristo View PostTommy Hearns had a nasty right hand to the body.

you are an open book when you throw a right hand to the body from far enough away to actually punch hard with your right hand
mike tyson also threw an unbelievable right hand to the body, once he either got under his man's jab, or was able to back him up to the ropes or make him have to set his feet to keep mike away
he was lucky enough to be built with hands than generate power close enough to land a hard right hand from up close.
serious power
i wouldnt call it a striaght right hand though
he turned his knuckles over and generate power however he was able to land it, almost like a hookLast edited by New England; 01-09-2012, 05:43 PM.Comment
