Tall people and uppercut

[j]

btw, it was partly sarcastic. his jab was somewhat explosive, but i didn't like the way he used it against taller people. compared to his other punches, it pales in comparison.

Thank you.


You see there is a very strong "size doesnt mater, genetics dont mater" vibe in this forum.

But I agree with what you said.

There is part of genetics but also you gotta have some boxing mentality and skills to improve on what you already have.

Well,if a taller person generally longer legs, and to throw an uppercut the legs are bent and pushed up from to increase power, the longer the legs the more momentum.

That makes a lot of sense.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! he has one of the best jabs in the business, it was so explosive, you clearly havnt seen enuf of mike tyson fights

the peek-a-boo style used the jab as a distraction...it wasn't that good. Wlad has the best jab in the business!

im not that tall at all and i think i have recieved respect form people from my uppercut...im short so i can sneak it inside...where as tlaler people might have more problems telegrphing it since their hieght

[SquareCircle]

if hes wiry, maybe. wiry tall guys are known for having freakish power for their size

I am trying to work out about what I said before, because, if your legs are longer, do they bend further to get the power? or maybe they can afford to bend further? any1? I would think maybe a short persons uppercut is faster, and more explosive, where as a taller persons would be slower but with more power.
