Right Cross vs. Straight Right?

[moin126]

the right cross, is punch thrown after the jab, so you cross your left, the straight right is a lead right, you cant throw a straight right after a jab.
Thats my guess -_-.

A right cross is more of a finisher punch and aims to kind of slash your opponents face. But a straight lands on say just the cheek. Right cross is more powerful, but hard to distinguish between the two.

I don't get this analysis really. The truth is that they are the same exact thing. A straight right=right hand=right cross

Don't read too much into what Lederman said, he didn't mean any difference.

heres what he was referring to when he said "straight right". notice how the punch goes straight up:

A right cross is basically the same thing. If you want to, you can differentiate the two by the angle but there is really not much of a difference. A right cross is more chopping than a straight right if you want.

It is sometimes seen a lot when you have to come a little up and over with your right instead of straight through. If someone has their shoulder and glove up to block you can throw a right cross to get around the glove. Just a slight variation on the straight.

a right cross is exactly that, a right cross,
a straight right is exactly that, a straight right..
hope that helps

A right cross, for some weird reason, is thrown a lot by Australian fighters. Now, I could be talking out my ass, but I rarely see many other fighters throw that chopping right cross, but Australians seem to do it a lot.

Hussein Hussein throws a mean right cross.

best example is probably

klitschko throw a hard right cross

roy jones throws a fast straight right

They're the same damn punch.

Jermain Taylor = His right hand is a right cross

Floyd Mayweather = Straight Right


Right Cross kinda looks like a curve ball being thrown from a pitcher.

Straight Right is exactly what it sounds like. A straight right hand that comes out of the chest.






Speakin of Taylor, I still can't believe he's this deep in his career and he throws a ****ty right hand. The main thing that frustrates me about Taylor is that he throws his only right hand like Oscar did early in his career, like a giant ****in curve ball. I still can't believe Manny never taught him to shoot a quick straight right from his chest, Taylors fast enough to murder people that punch.

i believe they are the same thing
