    Right. Rude awakening for both guys. Oscar kept his chin tucked, it’s almost iconic. He kind of dragged his back foot at a 45 degree angle. Tito on the other hand was right up on the ball of his back pointing straight ahead. Sprinters stance I think big George called it once. Oscar was much more stable than Tito, plus his chin was less exposed. I liked that Oscar could hold his right up tight and throw the left hook without compromising his balance or defence. He didn’t need to duck or wind up to throw it. It just shot out without it being telegraphed. Swept across nice and level. His right hand was good also, that’s what made his left even more effective. Eventually his opponent would leave the wrong side open. I left hook followed by a right uppercut through the middle as you are now bending to the right can be devastating. Tyson and Canelo come to mind.
    Yeah, Canelo is really, really good at avoiding flush shots of any kind - head or body

        99% of the hooks roy threw were not check hooks but leading hooks and leaping hooks.

        You are a ****** who doesnt know chit about boxing.

          Jesus Christ. You have to be kidding ... ... now that you told me that you've been watching boxing since before Methuselah, this is just absolutely cringe. I can't believe you don't know what a check hook is.

            The best left hook ever in boxing you ask? That's easy: RYAN GARCIA, LONG LIVE THE KING.

              Check hook is a counter hook to a right hand (which doesn't always have to be thrown because it's checked). Checkmate! Who necks?

                Okay. Then why did you say check hooks with RJJ?

                These are the hooks that RJJ is known for:

                Left Hand

                This is not a check hook

                This below here is a check hook:

                And this below here is what he's most known for, leaping in with a hook, from either hand. He made it completely unpredictable:

                  Check hook is a counter to a right hand, but it's more about footwork, the pivot and so forth.

                    - -U be necks~Floyd's counter left hook caught Ricky in his leaping left hook landing at the same time, but Ricky's momentum was against him as he got headed into the turnbuckle and was lucky not to be paralyzed.

                      First gif, left hand, huh? He's not known for that.

                      I know what RJJ is known for motherfrucker and I know what a check hook is, I already told you that cuckface killah. Jones is known for his check hook, the end. Nobody even knew what a check hook was before RJJ. That last gif you posted is like 4 hooks in a row and he's not even leaping he's moving right fcuktard, that's not a hook singular, it's plural and he's not known for that moreso than he is for check hooks.

                      YDKSAB and you most definitely DKSARJJ.

                      Look into getting a brain transplant or something. Jesus Christ you're a mongotard.
