The Right Cross
The Right Cross
The straight right hand is thrown immediately after the left jab. It is more commonly referred to as the right cross. As you bring your left hand back to guard your face you release the right hand . As the punch lands you will twist your right foot to increase the power of the blow. This is the classic one-two punch combination. Notice how the right side of Timmy’s chin is covered with his shoulder to protect himself against a counter left hook being thrown by his opponent.
