Name a boxer and his best combination......
Name a boxer and his best combination......
For example if a fighter lands a 1, 2 then a body shot then commentators may compare his combination to Ricky Hatton. What kind of combination of punches would make you think of a particular boxer?
Fighters get reputations for one shot but what about combinations of punches?

Wladimir Klitschko.....
Jab........grab
occasionally...... jab jab...grab
Only joking, I think Wladimir is a superb athlete and fighter, lovely straight right hand after a double jab.

I have seen Daniel Geale throw some strange combinations starting with a left uppercut into a left hook.
Manny Pacquiao throws 2 punches at once.

Kid Gavilan was famous for his Bolo punch, he wasn't the first to use it but it became his signature.
Re: Name a boxer and his best combination......
Thats the kind of thing i'm talking about, Ive spent lots of time watching Tyson and although I knew how lethal his uppercuts were I never once noticed just how much he always used it to follow up a right to the body. Makes sense now as it allowed him to get his body into the right position and angle to follow up with that shot. That's a perfect uppercut, legs creating the power, driving right up the middle of the guard.

Thommy Hearns – feinted jab to the body, right hand to the jaw.
Re: Name a boxer and his best combination......
Mayweather loves a lead right hand aswell, even doubles up on it at times. Not many people who can pull that off and get away with it.
Cotto is quite a text book boxer, one two left hook etc

Don Curry - Left jab, slip the return jab and then throw a left hook in an instant. So fast and effective.
Re: Name a boxer and his best combination......
Mcallums jab & slip a left hook to the body has to be my favourite.
I loved James toneys in fighting! Once he pops that tight uppercut the shots just roll off!

if i was being a super-pedantic anal McCallum fan, I would say his premier combination was rolling under the right hand/counter right uppercut to the body/ left to the body.hurlock wrote:Mcallums jab & slip a left hook to the body has to be my favourite.

Re: Name a boxer and his best combination......
Tony Sibson had a lovely jab for a short fella which he would double up to get close to unload those devastating left hooks to body and head- double jab/roll inside to out/double left hook. At times the very best technicians could avoid these attacks and make him pay but as a slew of top european fighters can attest, it worked more often than not.
Also Durans feint jab/left hook/right hand combo served him well thru the weights.Hounorable mention, James Cooks uppercut!!
