punches that seem to be rarely used in boxing these days

[GhostofDempsey]

I rarely if ever see fighters parry a punch and then counter off it. A lost art.

seems like only a few guys now how to set up an uppercut

[HitmanTommy]

Right hook to the body, right uppercut is a wicked combination. I remember Pacquiao using it against David Diaz.

Mike Tyson was extremely deadly with that combo.

Evander Holyfield was the master at it.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

The damn uppercut man.

Sure worked for Jermall against J-Rock. BOOM! Haha

Definitely not used enough, though for sure.

The check hook-I see fighters just go backwards these days and not use the angle to sidestep and use the check hook, why is this punch rarely used if at all?

Hook off of the jab-This punch is very effective and I dont understand why it is not used in more combos

Leaping left hook-This is a beautiful punch that is hard to time with an athletic boxer with great timing

I can name something neither you and I or anyone else has seen in over 20 ***ing years and that is the brilliant 10 punch combinations with left hooks, right hooks to the body and head, overhand rights, uppercuts all in the same damn combination that Sugar Ray Leonard produced! Almost NO ONE throws left hooks and right hooks in a sequence. His shoeshine combinations were dazzling. I am STILL waiting for another Leonard to come along in my lifetime. He gave me the best autograph ever for any fan! He drew a picture of a glove and a smiley inside and then his autograph inside the drawing. And yes, I have even exchanged emails with Leonard. And with Aaron Pryor's wife too.

Amir Khan tries that stuff but....... yea

[Mister Wolf]

I remember Floyd used that to end Sharmba Mitchell.

Yup he was a master of that punch.

[El Gitano]

Liver shot?

All of the above and uppercut. I think uppercut is a lost art in today’s boxing. It’s not that fighters dont throw uppercuts but they dont improvise in terms of setting it up. It’s probably the most devastating punch besides the body shot.

That’s why i was blown away when Jermall Charlo landed that perfect shot on Williams. How often do we see punches like that land these days?
