Most hellacious orthodox right hook throwers..

And one of the best 1-2 combos ever.

 

several heavy right hooks here, thrown from the orthodox stance, by Vitali.

right hook is a very awkward punch to throw from an orthodox stance. It feels as though you're going to dislocate your shoulder and leaves you WIDE open. It is usually only thrown in combination with left hooks when a man is hurt and you're finishing him off...otherwise most fighters wouldn't attempt it.

 

Vitali is not "most fighters".:mj:

 

Gotta say that LL ko is awesome. Huge right hand.

 

looping right hand can be a good technique against south-paws. for example, JMM looped his right-hand well on Pacquiao.

 

My personal fave.

 

watch a orthodox fighter throw a looping right hand and see how fundamentally different it is from a right-hook thrown by a south-paw. and then decide if it's smart to even call it a right-hook.

 

Here we go..........

 

Word...perhaps the hardest single heavyweight shot in history.

 

Joe Frazier...

the drummer guy from Def Leppard :dunno:

 

:laughing:

 

Joe Frazier had a right hand? :scratcher:

 

Agree. I think he's mistaken.

 

Ah!!!...The Topic is ORTHODOX Right Hook Throwers...As Such, REED would have to Nominate Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whittaker...



REED:hammert:

 

Granted, Joe Frazier was No Gerald Harris, but he DID Use his Right Hand on Occasion....



REED:hammert:

 

That wasn't a right hook. You mean when he blocked a left hook with his right glove and then immediately threw the cross to take Tito out?

A right hook is a punch that arcs like a left hook does.

 

since people in this thread don't seem to know what a "rear hook" looks like...check out this video for your education:

I just thought of a a pretty good one: Tim Witherspoon's can opener that usually landed on the ear or right behind it.

Riddick Bowe also had a good right hook.

I know it's more overhand in the Ecklund fight, but he threw it in a hooking motion. He had a really good right hook but it did not have textbook delivery.

 

Sam Peter- the King of the clubbing right hook to the back of the head, brainstem, ear, temple...anywhere but the chin and face.
