unusual punchees
ggg throws an overhand left hook type thingy that comes down on the opponent from an above angle
not a conventional punch that anyone else seems to throw, or at least one that hardly any others throw.
are there any other rare punches out there

Re: unusual punchees
I've always loved watching Joe Louis throwing his right hand. His method of delivery was idiosyncratic.

The punch Golovkin finally dropped Murata with was a right hook thrown from conventional stance, rare in itself

Re: unusual punchees
Is a punchee not the person getting punched?
Re: unusual punchees
Floyd Patterson and his gazelle punch, also Mike Tyson threw a similar punch.
Dramatic by Patterson.
Devastating by Tyson.

Naz threw a fair amount of unconventional punches in his considerable pomp.....looping around corners and up the middle.

Re: unusual punchees
Not that I got it from Golovkin but it’s my favourite punch personally. I throw it so my first two knuckles twist in sideways.m and a bit downward.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑09 Apr 2022, 17:13ya that's the one, he throws it in mostt fights too, never seen anyone throw it that much or really at all. never learned that punch in the gym eitherRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑09 Apr 2022, 16:30I thought you meant the one he KO’d Rubio with.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑09 Apr 2022, 15:27 ggg throws an overhand left hook type thingy that comes down on the opponent from an above angle

ive never even attempted that shot lol. although tbh, a punch thrown at that angle with the backhand is pretty common, so not sure why throwing it with the lead is so rare. there is definitely a use for it.........any way to mix up where a shot comes from/goes is useful, especially when trying to land on a shelled up opponent

Re: unusual punchees
Tommy Hearns would often throw a right hand similar to GGG , hooking it and coming down a bit. The right that knocked out Duran is prime example.

Re: unusual punchees
i notice that kovalev raerly threw any sort of conventional left hook, it was more like a left jab-hook hybrid, or perhaps could be called a power jab or straight left. he'd often throw a right hand first, then turn his body back into the left to get far more on it than your normal jab.
though he did also ko and break a guy's ribs with a lead jab, and also ko'd yarde with a jab

Re: unusual punchees
How Gennedy doesn’t break his hand is insane; he’s constantly punching the hardest part of the head.
His punches looked like they lacked a bit yesterday but they obvious don’t.
He’s as heavy handed as they come.
