Is there any difference between a left jab and a left long range uppercut.....

.......with vertical fist/

Same with a cross and a long range right uppercut with a vertical fist

Your question reminds me of . That video lectures how to hit liver by throwing a punch somewhere in between uppercut & hook. I think it is a matter of mindset, wading through the opponent's guard, angle, contact, etc. By the same logic to your question, I would guess that when an opponent is in peekaboo blocking, your left jab would slip off his left chin or get blocked on the guard. On the other hand, your long left uppercut would contact & sink into the left corner (his right corner) of his mouth (or a little bit more to the side, but you get the logic). I am guessing it is similar to that youtube video lecture, & it's a matter of mindset, contact, angle.

Why vertical punch? Like a chest push up, you get more chest power when your elbow is outward (hence pronated fist). Also, you can even hook a right temple with a right hook. Just like Lenox Lewis.
