Back Upper Body-Back Upper Head-3-2-Front Hook Body-Front Hook Head-2-Angle-2-3





Breakdown: Back Upper Body-Back Upper Head-3-2-Front Hook Body-Front Hook Head-2-Angle-2-3

This combination is characterized by an initial vertical assault followed by rhythm changes, a level shift, and a crucial defensive angle adjustment to maintain offensive pressure.

Phase 1: Vertical Assault and Pressure (Back Upper Body - Back Upper Head)

This phase utilizes two consecutive uppercuts delivered with the rear hand, designed to catch the opponent off guard.

  • Back Upper Body (Back Uppercut to the Body): This is a powerful counter-punch delivered with the dominant (rear) hand. While targeting the body, the mechanics of a Back Uppercut require you to quickly bend your knees, drop your hips, and fire your hand upward to generate power. This punch exploits openings created around the opponent's core or ribs.
  • Back Upper Head (Back Uppercut to the Head): This is delivered with the same dominant (rear) hand. It is designed to come "up the middle" and break through a tight guard. It exploits the opening created when the opponent raises their gloves to defend preceding punches. Throwing a power punch with the same hand twice in a row (a "reload") is unexpected and catches opponents off guard.

Phase 2: Head Attack Pressure (3 - 2)

This quick sequence transitions from the rear hand to the lead hand and back, establishing rhythm and maintaining pressure.

  • 3 (Front Hook): This hook is thrown with the lead hand. It immediately follows the uppercut, attacking from a different angle the opponent isn't expecting. To ensure proper execution and reach, focus on extending fully by aligning the elbow with the wrist and letting the shoulder blade rotate.
  • 2 (Straight Back Hand): This is the power punch, thrown with the rear hand. It is a rapid continuation of the sequence, maintaining pressure. Power is generated from the rotation of your hips and torso. You should aim for approximately 90–95% extension, keeping a slight bend in the elbow.

Phase 3: Level Change and Continuation (Front Hook Body - Front Hook Head)

This phase shifts the attack level to exploit the opponent's high guard, then immediately returns upstairs.

  • Front Hook Body (Hook to the Body, Front Hand): This is a powerful counter-attack delivered with the lead hand, marked by a change in attack level. Since the preceding head attacks likely forced the opponent to lift their guard, their body is now exposed. This punch capitalizes on the vulnerability by targeting a sensitive area like the liver.
  • Front Hook Head (3 / Front Hook): Without pausing, you follow the body shot with a hook to the head. This lead-hand punch attacks from a different angle, further confusing the opponent as they react to the level change.

Phase 4: Evasion and Angle Finish (2 - Angle - 2 - 3)

This concluding sequence incorporates footwork to gain an advantageous position before finishing with two powerful strikes.

  • 2 (Straight Back Hand): This final straight back hand is used to maintain pressure and catch the opponent as they react to the preceding hooks.
  • Angle (Angle to the Front): This involves taking a small but crucial angled step to the front side (e.g., stepping to the left for an orthodox boxer). This defensive and offensive maneuver is used to get your head and body off the centerline to make their counter-punch miss. Critically, this move positions you on their exposed side, giving you a superior angle for the next strikes.
  • 2 (Straight Back Hand): Delivered immediately after gaining the superior angle. This is a powerful shot aimed down the middle. It is thrown to catch the opponent completely off guard as they turn or adjust to defend the angle you created.
  • 3 (Front Hook): The combination finishes with a front hook from the lead hand. This attacks from a different angle, further confusing the opponent and maintaining pressure. If executed correctly after the angle, the hook will land from the advantageous outside position.
