[SuperNerd]

Too much talking and not getting to the point

I read that Dempsey book a long time ago and its a huge point of contention even between coaches in the same gym -but its def the minority opinion. Either way, Alex's extremely dense bone structure helps alot with solidifying that power

 

[Luthien]

Would this count as a Mexican hook?

 

[usernamee]

That's actually very interesting

 

[Fengxian]

Because he know how to put his weight into his punches unlike tons of mma fighters.

No need boring Firas to explain that. This guy is Canadian Chael always saying stuff in circle even though it can be explained in 2 minutes.

 

[StonedLemur]

Firas is a thinker.
He's not always right but he's certainly an intelligent man.

Interesting though, really like this one sir.

Firas also got interested in fighter's reaction time by freezing and slowing down their counter punch in every video of their fight. GSP mentioned it. Cool stuff (Machida had #1 best reaction time, followed by BJ Penn)

The book is called Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense.

If that is called a Mexican hook, then what is a shovel hook?

That is called the "Nassau Maul," sir. Also known as the "legend killer'

Shovel hook is more of an uppercut motion sir.

If this thread makes it passed 3 pages, this is the driving discussion.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Shovel hook is more of an uppercut motion sir.

Hmm. I was taught that it was like a liver shot. So when you take a fist and aim it at the lower rib cage at an angle of follow through toward the opposite shoulder.

Maybe I need to rewatch the motion and angle of the strike.

I always thought of him as Canadian Danaher, but he's much more concise than John.

John would spend the first 10 minutes making you answer the question of "why" we even need to punch the guy before going into the philosophy of "how" we're going to do it.

 

[sdpdude9]

He make big punch.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Shovel hook is more of an uppercut motion sir.

You are right. Poatan did not use a shovel hook as can be seen on this video, but he is also not throwing the punch the motion Firas is demonstrating, but he looks to be correct on the knuckles.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Too much talking and not getting to the point

Ever watched Firas before? The guy loves the sound of his own voice...extremely arrogant but apparently kind person.

Poatan throws a shovel hook or “Mexican hook” which is sort of inbetween a hook and uppercut, and it has a little bit more range than a normal hook


He hit Jamahal with the pinky knuckle which many would say is incorrect but Firaz quotes Jack Dempsey in explaining that the pinky runs linear with your forearm and so hitting with it can generate more power than the front knuckles
