The left hook...

I read the book, "Lords of the Ring", which was about the Madison, WI boxing team and how the death of their fighter Charlie Mohr ended NCAA (national collegiate level, not just intercollege like now...) boxing. (On a side note, it was the liberal dipshit regents that ended that once great sport because it was deemed to "violent". I guess the fact that people have died playing football isn't... What the fuck ever...)

The trainer, John Walsh, himself a former amatuer fighter, placed the utmost importance on a solid left hook, calling it the right handed-boys best friend. (If you're a southpaw, you have no friends anyway...) On that note, I work my left hook technique to the max every day, mainly with jab-hook combos and step-hook combos. I'm not an MMA guy, and while I might start to get interested in it, I doubt I'll ever be able to really put it into play like I know I can my punches. What I do find hearkening is that that a good punch can be a one-shot deal and this occurs much faster and much more frequently than people would like to admit. A sampling below:
