One last thing because I'm kinda distracting from the purpose of this thread.
Am I right under the assumption that the straight right hand is closer to the overhand right (or left if you are a southpaw) than the right hook?
You say yourself in that thread the right hook is easier to land if you are longer as it's a short punch as it is and since it's useful to get around someone's guard.
But the overhand wrongly often gets called a right hook or vice versa by many but it seems like it's the furthest thing from the truth.
Now only hitting pads I noticed it that much. Having someone hold the pads sideways like you would for a left hook but the opposite direction suddenly makes it impossible to land an overhand properly (connecting with the knuckles and getting all your weight into it). The overhand comes more straight at the opponent and basically hits at the almost same angle as a straight right.
And then I remembered because Im pretty sure I saw Tyson say how the straight right was his best punch and while he didn't throw it that often in fights I went through clips of him hitting pads or the bag and he really mostly threw straigh rights with his right hand not hooks (to the head at least) let alone overhands.
So Tyson was trained to use straight rights and in fights he just did away with his patience a bit and threw overhands right away but what i mean with that is that they are in some spots interchangable.
So a lot of text but basically the simple question; am i right that the overhand is closer to a straight than to a hook?
because I really wonder I don't think there are many trainers who really teach an overhand maybe in MMA but how many real high level boxing trainers teach you how to throw an overhand right correctly?
Most people throw it instinctively if they try to hit hard but they often lose balance and leave themselves open yet I have an easier time keeping my balance throwing an overhand than I have throwing a right hook and I just happen to be more comfortable throwing a straight right than a right hook.
Even if we assume i have shit technique and cant box I still am at least relatively better and relatively comfortable throwing both straight rights and overhand rights but not right hooks
