    An overhand right is a punch that European fighters rarely use. In Europe, boxing technique is based on the right cross which is the more safe, clean and perhaps the more 'stylish' shot. Overhand right is seen mostly as a novice technique.

    However a quick, relaxed overhand right is a destructive weapon.

    Name some experts of the punch. Tim Witherspoon is one, who else?

    Ken Norton. The Bobick KO might be the GOAT of overhand right exhibitions.

    Seems like a really cool guy. Not sure the Brits are still mad at him.

    Derek Williams.... Jesus forgot about him. He was the guy who had nothing nice to say about Vitali after the Sanders fight.

    It was an overhand but Pac ran into it, Marquez didn’t need to get the full extension.
