Is it considered a no-no to throw a "dominant hand" uppercut?

[kayjay]

Ever see Lennox Lewis fight?

Buster Douglas shows how to do it and how to NOT do it.


Douglas vs Tyson


Douglas vs Holyfield (06:10)


Lennox Lewis

NEVER start with an uppercut from a distance. Buster Douglas vs Holyfield is a prime example of that.

It's a no no to throw it as a lead punch from the outside. Marquez can do it, but that's Marquez.

[Silencers]

Roy Jones probably had the best lead uppercut, he could get away with it because of his speed though.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Yea, throwing a lead upper is not recommended, unless you are as fast as Roy Jones Jr.

You can throw upper's from both hands and I think the punch that alot of fighter's neglect is the upper and especially the upper to the body. That's a great punch.....

bumping for john scully's thoughts

ive really only seen Juan Manuel Marquez pull them off. but he can get away with a lot of **** from a distance which is pretty amazing.

"who lands an uppercut from the outside?"

[steptwome]

It all depends on your position when throwng it

[K-Nan]

The best lead uppercut was thrown by Roy Jones . Now it's thrown by Juan Manuel Marquez.. Very dangerous, and a punch you usually see guys with tremendous natural talent throw consistently and land. Hamed threw it too.. even though he threw pretty much everything.
