The mid-range right hook has the potential, if thrown correctly, to be a tremendously explosive punch. From a static stance, the shot can be delivered with devastating power. The reason for the ability to generate such crunching power comes from the massive drive and rotation potential coupled with the ‘whiplash’ action of the shot as it lands. The right hook is a serious shot! Evander Holyfield was a brilliant exponent of the mid-range right hook. He used the shot to very good effect against a host of bigger and stronger opponents during his career. The moulding of Holyfield’s style took place during his amateur years, and this grounding is very evident in his right hook. Holyfield’s success rate in landing the shot and it’s obvious impact when it landed speaks for itself. When throwing the right hook, have ‘bad intentions’….now where have I heard that before?
