7:45 Wrap up for the boxing overhand right
The overhand right is a great active counter punch against an incoming jab. When I say 'active counterpunch' I mean that it lands at the same time as the opponent's jab is extended.
The overhand right is different from the straight right hand or the right cross. Remember, when you want a straight right hand, the later in the rotation of the body that you leave the shot the straighter the right hand will be. If you release the arm early in the rotation then the right hand will land on a slightly different line.
The boxing overhand right has broadly the same body mechanics as the straight right hand and the right hook. The difference is in the shop of the arm - it needs to arc down slightly to 'get over' the outstretched jab of the opponent.
Remember to keep your left hand high to add extra protection against incoming right hands from the opponent. Remember also not to over-commit - you should always have in your mind 'what if I miss'? You don't want to be out of control and over-committed.

I have to say, the boxing E-book is absolutely brilliant! The sheer amount of information that beginners like me can learn from is invaluable. I cannot fathom how such a comprehensive resource is free! Cheers coach!

I always chuckle when you get into the boxing stance. You always look down to check the feet. I imagine you doing it every time you reposition during a fight.

- use in addition to: straight right (late release straighter), right cross (later release), right hook - curl arm, head off centerline - often to counter a jab - examples: julio chaves sr, duran - don't overuse. Use alongside other backhands

Outstanding explanation, coach. I see the overhand right as a right hook with a lean. It took me a while to get it down. Something that helps me is to imagine my head is following a rainbow pattern as I lean towards my lead leg.

Good 👍 stuff 💯 fran

Fran - I like that you teach this punch to be thrown in a non-telegraphic manner. There are a number of coaches that feel it should be delivered more as a swing. Your method provides more control and accuracy. Thanks so much for your time.
