  • The Left Hook to the Liver is the best POWER SHOT to work on, in my opinion...

    Why? Because guys are scared to get hit in the face so they put their hands up. But every time I decide to really dedicate some power to the body...That left hook land on em a few times, it really does the job. Something about that sweet spot on the right side of a guy, where the liver is, is just fantastic...You new guys should train that punch, look at Cotto's pro fights and how he throws it, Hopkins as well, they have the two best left hooks to the liver in my opinion right now...other notable great lefts to the body, Mickey Ward would be my favorite if Cotto wasn't a fighter...But cotto's is the best I've ever seen, all-time.

              yeah a left hook sounds nice...but mastering it isnt the easiest thing in the world so i am learning...balance has to be good...you have to be able to transfer energy from you legs up your body to your fist fluently....
              there are a lot of mechanics involved with making that killer liver blow...
              one day...
              ill get it...

                Hook to the liver hurts like ****, but I think a good uppercut to the chin is better, because it is more likely to turn the lights off in your opponent.

                Better yet, hook to the liver, uppercut to the other side, and then uppercut to the chin, and your opponent is ****ED.

                  Left upper to the rib cage is more painful.

                    How the hell is throwing a left hook to the body 'setting up a left hook to the body'? God damn, you amuse me P4P! Maybe think about what he asked before replying. Just a thought.




                    On topic: There is the classic 1-2 then hook', which would be the most commonly used. I personally like throwing it off a right counter or feint. Obviously always best to throw it after setting up something upstairs to bring the hands up before going back down, whether that means feinting upstairs or throwing out a punch to bring in the right of the opponent so you expect it and can block/dodge etc and counter with the left for a nice open shot.
