DO ANY of you know what an OVERHAND RIGHT IS?

[hardboiled777]

I'm curious because most boxers/boxing fans don't know what an overhand right is. I've been to many gyms and NOT 1 trains in doing overhand rights because the old school mentality that they are "haymakers" and wild and leave you open. YET they are not, as proven by MMA fighters such as Chuck Liddell, there are many examples proving MMA fighters used it to more effect before boxers. Now boxers are slowing picking up on it.

Martinez vs Williams, Pacquiao vs Hattton, Martinez vs Chavez, Marquez vs Pacquiao are all instances where overhands ended or nearly ended the match. I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of that punch because Jim Lampley who has been announcing matches for years tends to call it a "hook" or a "right hand" when it is OBVIOUS to a fighter who throws them that it is an OVERHAND the most powerful punch you can throw, which is why it's often a career ender when it connects.

Thoughts on the overhand?

It's like throwing a baseball.

if you noticed though, jim lampley says the person has thrown a left hook when it was actually a right, he always does it.

tyson is very well known for throwing the overhand right

UFC ****** tries to talk boxing.

Most guys don't throw an overhand right because it also leaves you vulnerable to get KTFO.
