THE Right Hook

[Jab89]

Any one to who's attended a gym, have they taught you a right hook, it seems like no one uses it anymore... I know it can be a wild dangerous punch if u throw it out of control but its good to know for certian situations.

I agree i'm a southpaw and the same can be said for the left hook. I think the best situation you use it in is when your reasonable close and you loop it in as it can get behind your opponents guard also because your in quite close it'll be hard for them to counter and if they do and it connects its all over.

i use the right hook, but only as a short distance punch like No1 said. thrown from a distance it can be EASILY timed and countered.

I was never taught a right hook, until well into my training. I only throw a right hook to the body, and when i'm very close in.

You can see a right hook coming a mile off. So only throw it, if you know your safe and you know you'll land it.

i throw the right hook from a distance if my partner is predictable...i.e. he always steps in with a jab when he gets in range, that's perfect to time a big ugly right hook to loop right behind that jab.

[SpeedKillz]

well that would be a looping right hand, not a right hook, if ur partner gets hit with a right hook from stepping in with his jab, u need a new partner....

To NEVER throw the right hook as some kinda rule would be foolish. I don't use it all too much though. But sometimes, when the angle/positioning is right, nothing feels better than landing a thundering right hook. Haha, and trust me, I've been caught off guard by one too, and nothing feels worse than taking it.

I throw'em when i'm up close

Thats called sunday punch, cause it takes from monday to sunday to throw it. Seriously, when I was against the opponent up close, I threw short right hand under the angle, it kinda looks look right hook but you open up less and and body mechanic for this punch is different.
And you definately should not throw right hook if you are on outside.
