The right hook?

[aussieboxer2320]

yeah like if you have your opponent hurt, you can get in close, time it with your jab and drive one home....but never try it long range, its a sloppy and easily countered punch

[Karlos1991]

I like the right jab but tend to over use it on the outside sometimes.

[Hagler★]

because i lead with my strongest hand, ie jab and powere puch with my right i use the hook alot i find it quite effective and cos its so shunned its quite effective as it isnt a punch many people encounter alot

[DELETED ACCOUNT 06]

throw it in close i guess especially to the body.

but ... yeah, right hooks aren't the most popular shots in boxing.

Hey, i've started boxing about 3-4 weeks ago and have been going non-stop since I joined. Well my question has to do with the right hook, is it necessary? My trainer said it's an ugly punch and shuns really using it.

note-Now my trainers a pretty experienced guy, he's from Freeport PAL in New York if anyone knows, and Freeport PAL's no joke!

Why not try it out in the gym and see what happens?, you might find it works for you and if not you'll learn why you shouldn't. I'd just experiment with it and at the very least learn some ways to counter it. Afterall nothing ventured nothing gained.

People talk some right ****. Doesn't exist? Ugly punch? Comes off as a looping right hand?! WTF. It is for when you are extremely close and can be a nasty surprise. B-Hop finishing off Tito is one of the best one's I have seen. I always preferlanding it after a left hook. Try it, you might like it.

That wasn't a hook...

Was it a looping right? LOL. After the video's you posted, I don't think you can educate me on boxing fella. Seriously, you got a long way to go. You need to get your head out of your arse and do some real training to develop techniques and get some fights. Then get back to me. At the moment it looks like you're not even sure what a jab is.
