How do you rate my right cross?

[automaton89]

Cross, not straight right.

[automaton89]

What's with the bulky jacket? We need to see the movement of your body.

Did Tattoo yell too much about de plane? You gotta throw it straight out, not down like you're fighting a midget............Rockin'

Heh, I didn't know right hand to the body was frowned upon.

I'm 6'1. And I wanted to feel what's it like with a jacket for the streetz

[automaton89]

The straight right to the body was one of my favorite shots.

It's my favorite. Did you ever got a knockout with it?

[automaton89]

I don't believe so, but it sure did set up the shot to funk 'em up.

I used that shot against this guy that I fought who was from Ghana, he was 6'-3" tall.

They were taping that guys ribs up as I walked to my dressing room, the coach told me that I hurt him pretty bad.

I replied that's what were paid to do and then went to get stitched up.

Get under the jab and introduce your power to your opponents rib cage, it'll pay big time later on in the bout.

Is My opponent allowed to hit the top of My head when I Duck under?

I don't believe so, but it sure did set up the shot to funk 'em up.

I used that shot against this guy that I fought who was from Ghana, he was 6'-3" tall.

They were taping that guys ribs up (after the bout) as I walked to my dressing room, the coach told me that I hurt him pretty bad.

I replied that's what we're paid to do and then went to get stitched up.

Get under the jab and introduce your fist to your opponents rib cage, it'll pay big time later on in the bout.

It doesn't surprise me you damaged him. Thrusting shots have more potential power than swinging, even though humans tend to throw swinging shots better.

It was explained to me that when you thrust the target, you are both greatly hitting and going through at the same time.

But when you hook/swing you have great acceleration, but only moderate penetration.

Most humans tend to throw better swings but in theory, your right hand will be more deadly.

[automaton89]

Oh yeah, in your next video have your feet in the picture. They are important.

And the shot that you threw looked perfectly straight except for the height of the shot. Straight out and straight back, unless of course you would like to keep on punching him, in his face, with your right hand (we'll maybe get in to that some other time). Over the elbow and crank.

.............Rockin'

I remember My instructor wanted us to overrotate the right hand to also cover behind it in the shot.

Optional of course.

[automaton89]

I'm having a hard time following....

How would over rotating cover behind the shot? ...............Rockin'

Something about The bicep covering the jaw if you throw the punch in a certain way and corkscrew extra

[automaton89]

If you turn a shot over extra and then cover you are leaving your ribs badly exposed.

...............Rockin'

Yeah. It was a real boxing gym but not a good one. We hit the palm of each others gloves instead of pads. And rarely did heavy bag workouts. I hated the place.

[automaton89]

The heavy bag is where you build perseverance, the grit to just keep diggin'.

No coached pad work? Bad habits...............Rockin'

heavy bag workout for beginners like once a month.

We did head movement drills and all the rest

Intermediate level group more heavy bag but still crap. Sparring level progression was very slow and THE guys in the intermediate group couldn't fight. They looked Good but couldn't fight.

[automaton89]

Head movement drills, sounds exhausting.

I'll have to remember that one.

Did you ever get to spar?..................Rockin'

Yeah but never competitors. I wasn't allowed. That's why I left in the end
