Seriously. Even Steward said 'A perfect check hook'.

I mean, it wasn't like Floyd tried to take credit for it. He said it was a Michigan thing.. probably alluding to Sugar Ray Robinson.

If thats true then thats the most ******est thing i've read today.

As mentioned already Delahoya used to use it and funny thing is even back then the media was amazed at his left hook/half uppercut punch. And Delahoya is from California not Michagen and we didnt' hear Delahoya say its a California thing.

I'm not exactly sure why people are so surprised and are trying to figure out the secrets behind it. Its a slightly altered counter hook thats been used alot, just not seen as dramatically because most fighters cover up better than Hatton did.

I've seen that punch many times, but because this was a highlighted fight it gets talked about as something new,lol. Sometimes i wonder if people even watch boxing besides there favorites.

Have you boxed? I have. Its a common punch. Not all hooks can be perfectly level or all uppercuts directly vertical but.

Name one example where Oscar used a check hook on an opponent. You are the biggest fraud and liar on here, so forgive me if I ask for verification.

It's a hook no matter what anyone decides to label it as. Sugar Ray Robinson ko'd Gene Fulmer with the same punch, it's been around years.

I remember Ruddock koing Dokes with a similar punch and he said it's half uppercut and half hook and I call it the smash.

Is Ruddock's "smash" really the same punch that Floyd is talking about? It's not delivered at all in the same way.
