Do you ever throw straight right to the body with your back erect?

You weren't going to the body in your video.

The mechanics for a straight right to the body involve lowering your level. If you combine that with a slight lean forward you put more power into it, and if you use footwork to step in at the same time you get even more pop. If you just stay upright and stand in place then it's more of an arm punch.

No, I am still using my legs, shoulders and hip. An arm punch uses only the arm.

You'll have to post video of yourself actually throwing a straight right to the body to get more accurate feedback.

No ****. It's the lean that I'm asking. Is there any fighter who only dips but doesn't lean?

No need to get foul mouthed. We're trying to help.

I don't know about other fighters, I'm just explaining how I do it. To me you get more power by leaning in and putting your bodyweight into the punch.

Staying upright would have less power. But this way of doing it could have it's uses too.

So leave your back erect with your head sitting straight up on a fence pole, like a pumpkin on Devils Night, just begging to get knocked off.

Take the advice or don't. ...............Rockin'

Lots of good advice here about bending the knees. Fast forward to 7:35 of this video and watch how Eric Morales finishes Daniel Zaragoza with a straight right to the body.

Great example. Morales leans forward.
