"Think about the exit after you landed the shot." Now lives in my mind.

It's worth it to practice exiting/countering as often as possible. Think about your first couple of shots NOT landing and having a plan you can rely on nearly reflexively. And also that your hands are never dropping on the way back to guard without your consciously choosing that.

I've aged out of sparring but got to say even for stopping some clown from starting a fight , too many people ignore body shots like this. Untrained people can't handle them. They've never been hit with them and they'll stand flat footed in front you , usually squared up, chin in the air staring at your face . Some will even hold their arms out to the side and welcome you! BUT they think you'll swing at their head like 99% would. I practice a LOT of body shots on my BOB as an opening , sternum, liver , pancreas, bladder . You get one of those in you're likely dropping them and they won't even see it coming . And they aren't going to fall like a stone and hit their head like from a KO and YOU end up in jail. Thanks Coach! Another great video.

Cool. Do some drilling with it this week, key is to not try too hard, let the opponent come onto it and then be ready to shift or follow up. Enjoy the spar pal 😀

Thanks Coach Sands. You rock. 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

Nice explanation! As a Southpaw (against Orthodox), I do the left straight with a slip to the right, timing my opponent's jab. Against stationary opponents it's R-jab slip L-straight, and either R-hook to the short ribs or over the top.

I’m a southpaw that’s my favourite combo. I was shown how to swap my feet. Left foot goes where where the right foot was and you pivot. Can land a nice left hook to the body or head from the side. It goes well with the straight left and slip because your body will go wherever your head goes.

Never even thougt about this punch before, thanks Fran

New guy . Just watched your Hearns video. Fantastic. The greatest offensive fighter and most exciting fighter I've ever seen. Not the most complete but arguably the best . Never a dull moment. Couldn't argue about him being regarded as the best . Leonard and one or two others maybe. But for pure excitement, Hearns rules supreme . Thank you .

Thank you coach I’ve been boxing since September. I know this worked because I done this against “a tank” and it sent him back.

Very nice. Was practising this in a drill the other week; standard jab, cross, then jab, body cross. Holding the pads (just one pad across the chest) and you could really feel it.

Thanks a lot Fran! I have heard it said that this punch is particularly good as your opponent is extending to punch himself. I believe that this was also the KO punch Tank Davis used to stop Garcia.

Thanks for this Fran. I’ve been practicing this for a while but you have explained it better than what I had previously seen. I’ve landed it a few times in sparring but to no effect, probably because they were moving backwards. I’ve got the mechanics down so it shouldn’t be too difficult to adjust the timing.

Nice technique , but I would call that a right straight and not a right cross. The “cross” used to refer to a slightly wider punch delivered across your body for maximum power (see Joe Louis) it was not fired straight out like a piston

Thank you sir for this precious lesson! I have been doing boxing for 4 years, but at a deeply amateur level (issues with health and so on). Would you agree that most of practiced methods don't work so nice during the sparring with a fast and experienced opponent?)) I have this feeling every weekend during our sparring sessions. If you spar a novice (I do it always softly, unlike those crazy novices:) - then yes, of course, I can try all those beautiful check hooks, but when my partner is more experienced than me - I try a lot of punches and techniques, but they hardly work!))

*PLEASE DO A MONZON FEARFUL FACTORS!!*

With your three ts the most important thing is power nothing to beat raw power

Fran...You might have done this before but what's best technique for keeping a " swarmer " off. ? I'm thinking of guys like Maidana . Even Floyd had a hard time against him . ( Not to mention Adrian Broner.....🙄🙄! )

As a tall person i like to use the rear vody uppercut too against an aggressive opponent, is this also valid or am i overlooking something?

"Never hit a bag without hand protection." Whoops! I've only broken that rule several times now😂. I was told hand conditioning is important and sometimes that means barehanded or wrapped. Not hitting AS hard, but punchinh like you're smashing a poison bug😂 You don't want to hit it so hard you splatter it so much as hit it light and fast. With a glove, you can hit harder but still don't want to "stick" the punch to the bug/bag. I don't do it very often though. Certainly not every session. How do YOU get hands conditioned? In your experience, do you find bags and such are enough to condition them? (I actually DON'T want to be doing anything stupid. I don't have kids hands😂).

I find it is hard for most fighters between training and to zeroing real targets when sparring as you don't always hit hard and not really execute the true potential of the punch. I believe in conditioning the hands but have broken my knuckles in a true street fight to the head. The body is the way forward as the coach has demonstrated. The average thug is looking at you straight on which makes it easier for a take down.

Would you say this is the best punch for self defense in the streets too?

I see the boxer Tank do it quite a bit.

In theory are taller individuals more susceptible to damage from smaller or shorter apponents, often taller or heavier individuals have the belief someone with less weight and height cannot defeat them for these reason but can techniques over come larger peoples advantages (weight and height?)

Hello Fran I believe this is a good technique you're showing. But I've been trained to do the cross to the body stepping back sideways with my right foot throwing the punch. If there is something bad about doing that then I'd like some feedback on this comment. ( Orthodox stance)
