So there is a nice gap for the right cross the go to punch against southpaws.
The jab is blocked by their lead hand.
But theres a nice little opening for a long range left hook.
Ive been told a long range left hook will beat a straight right to the mark (a mid range left hook wont because its path is too circular) so it may beat the right cross (or left cross for southpaws) to the mark.
The only counter that will beat it is a jab so it seems kinda safe.
What do you think of this as a shot to set up the straight right, since the jab is so easily countered and they will be expecting a straight right lead all night.
Im no expert so can you tell me the flaws in leading with a long hook? Or is it actually a good idea?
