Drop

2010-01-21T00:11:40Z

Delmas alain:

"Overhand" (or overcut) in USA ("drop" in France). A semi-circular and vertical punch thrown with the rear hand. It is usually when the opponent [[bobbing]] or [[slipping]]. The strategic utility of the overhand relying on body weight can deliver a great deal of power.

Check hook

2010-01-21T00:06:51Z

Delmas alain:

In boxing, a '''check hook''' is employed to prevent aggressive boxers from lunging in. There are two parts to the check hook. The first part consists of a regular [[hook]]. The second, trickier part involves the [[footwork]]. As the opponent lunges in, the boxer should throw the hook and pivot on his left foot and [[swing]] his right foot 180 degrees around. If executed correctly, the aggressive boxer will lunge in and sail harmlessly past his opponent like a bull missing a matador. This is rarely seen in professional boxing as it requires a great disparity in skill level to execute. [[Floyd Mayweather|Floyd Mayweather, Jr]]. demonstrated a picture perfect example of this punch against [[Ricky Hatton]] in their 2007 encounter. Ricky Hatton was caught with the check hook as he was lunging in; Hatton continued forward as he was knocked off balance and proceeded to ram his head into the ring post as Floyd Mayweather stepped out of harm's way. When interviewed, Mayweather stated that he was taught the check hook in the Michigan amateurs.

Bolo punch

2008-01-12T20:09:49Z

Delmas alain:

[[file:39Sep.jpg|right|300px|Sept 1939 ''The Ring'' cover]]
[[Kid Gavilan]] is often given credit for inventing the '''bolo punch'''--a combination of a wide [[uppercut]]/[[right cross]]/swing that was delivered seemingly from the floor--by popularizing it in the late 1940s and 1950s.

But during the 1930s [[Ceferino Garcia]] was effectively using what reporters and broadcasters then called the "bolo punch"--based upon the bolo knife Filipinos used for chopping difficult vegetation. (See, for example, footage contained in the documentary ''[[World Champions of the Great Pinoy Boxing Era]]''.)

Filipino boxer [[Macario Flores]] is the earliest-known practitioner of this punch. According to the March 27, 1924 ''Tacoma News Tribune'' (Tacoma, WA, USA): "Flores lets his right hand go just as his country men throw a bolo knife. The blow is not only hard, but it is as fast as a streak of lightning, being almost impossible to follow with the human eye."

Cross-counter

2007-10-12T22:03:38Z

Delmas alain:

A cross-counter is a [[counter-attack]] begun immediately after an opponent throws a jab, exploiting the opening in the opponent's position.

Cross

2007-10-12T22:02:33Z

Delmas alain:

In boxing, a '''cross''' (also commonly called a "straight") is a power-punch like the uppercut and hook. Compubox, a computerized punch scoring system, counts the cross as a ''power-punch''.

It is a punch usually thrown with the dominant hand the instant an opponent leads with his opposite hand. The blow crosses over the leading arm, hence its name.

<gallery>
Image:cross3.jpg|
Image:directlong1.jpg|''A right straight punch (cross)''
Image:absorption_torsion1.jpg|''A left straight punch (cross) ''
</gallery>

== Technique ==

From the guard position, the rear hand is thrown from the chin, crossing the body and travelling towards the target in a straight line. The rear shoulder is thrust forward and finishes just touching the outside of the chin. At the same time, the lead hand is retracted and tucked against the face to protect the inside of the chin. For additional power, the torso and hips are rotated anti-clockwise (for righties) as the cross is thrown. Weight is also transferred from the rear foot to the lead foot, resulting in the rear heel turning outwards as it acts as a fulcrum for the transfer of weight. Body rotation and the sudden weight transfer is what gives the cross its power. Like the [[jab]], a half-step forward may be added. After the cross is thrown, the hand is retracted quickly and the guard position resumed. It can be used to [[counter-punch]] a jab, aiming for the opponent's head (or a counter to a cross aimed at the body) or to set up a [[hook]]. The cross can also follow a [[jab]], creating the classic "[[one-two combo]]." The cross is also called a "straight" or "right."

Corkscrew punch

2007-06-02T11:10:19Z

Delmas alain:

*[[Boxer:Charles_(Kid)_McCoy:039949|Kid McCoy]] is universally given credit for creating this punch. McCoy's "corkscrew" punch was famous for the cutting damage it inflicted on opponents' faces, and he was known for his trickery and unpredictability in the ring. Source: [http://www.answers.com/topic/charles-kid-mccoy Answers.com]

*In the 1930s and 1940s in the United States it was referred as being an elusive, short-thrown punch, which had knockout results. Well-advised fighters used this punch when they were entering a bout if, for whatever reason, it was perceived they would be outmatched. On the downside, if they missed, they would have more than likely left themselves vulnerable.

Knockout

2007-06-01T22:45:14Z

Delmas alain:

A knockout occurs when an boxer is [[knockdown|knocked down]] by his opponent, [[fall through the ropes|falls through the ropes]] and cannot get back into the ring and on his feet by the [[count]] of 20, or otherwise is [[down]], and the [[referee]] reaches the [[count]] of ten before the boxer is back on his feet in the ring. A knockout ends the [[bout]], resulting in a [[KO]] win for the boxer's opponent. This is to be distinquished from a [[technical knockout]] (although a TKO is usually recorded as a generic "knockout" in a boxer's [[fight record]]).

* Sometimes called [[parrying]]

Guard position

2007-05-22T20:52:09Z

Delmas alain:

There are many main defensive positions (guards or styles) used in boxing.
*Guard highter for more head protection while
*Guard lower to providebetter protection against body
*Single position, but rather adapt to the situation when choosing a certain position to protect them.

Within each style, there is considerable variation among fighters, as some fighters may have their guard higher for more head protection while others have their guard lower to provide better protection against body punches. Many fighters vary their defensive style throughout a bout in order to adapt to the situation of the moment, choosing the position best suited to protect them.
