Analysis âŹď¸ Many fighters and people who train fall in love with developing their dominant hand cross as their KO shot. While this is the inclination of many, hereâs why I feel developing your hook will bring you more success in landing damaging shots: 1. [CAPITALIZATION] The most common technical error made in the chaos of a fight is dropping the hands slightly below the chin, or improperly guarding the chin while exchanging with the opponent. Itâs always going to be hard to stay 100% defensively sound when trading, and a L Hook is great at capitalizing on these openings, since we often focus on what is directly in front of us during striking exchanges. 2. [DETECTION] A R Cross is slightly easier to detect and evade due to it being in your vision the entire time from beginning to end. In a fight, every millisecond is crucial to staying safe and landing your shots. The L Hook, due to its angle and trajectory, often is detected just a few milliseconds later than traditional straight punches. Delayed detection will equate to higher probabilities of landing your shot before the opponent can defend or even brace for the impact. 3. [INTERCEPTION] The R Hook, being a punch that travels in a straight line, allows it to be evaded with minimal head movement from the opponent. When throwing your L Hook (and if you condition the opponent properly with feints and reads), thereâs always the chance that the opponent miscalculates and weaves or slips into your L Hook, amplifying its power upon landing. These are just my opinions. What are your thoughts?
