Combinations including uppercuts
Combining jabs, straight rights and left hooks with
uppercuts is a dizzying feat, and absolutely devastating
to an opponent because punches are coming in from

properly. It’s difficult enough to master the transitions
from jab to straight right to hook ... heck, it’s hard
enough just to learn the hook.

straight right, a left uppercut, a straight right, a left
hook and finally a right uppercut.
