whats the difference between a straight right and a right cross?

Answer 1

A straight right is your right arm straight in front of you, a right cross is you throw a punch from your right shoulder but your hand makes contact in front of your LEFT shoulder, it crosses your body.

Answer 2

Correct, a straight right is delivered straight out as in the classic "one-two". A right cross is delivered a little more from the right side as when you slip or bob to the right of an opponets left then deliver the right cross with a little more hip turn since you have slightly more weight on your right side. Hip movement is similar to that of a hook but the punch is delivered straight and come at a slight diagonal angle across your body. It is a great counter to a lazy left jab or when you get your left foot near or outside your opponents front foot; usually up and over the opponents left.

Answer 3

straight right is delivered by the right hand going straight out from the body, usually to the left side of the opponent. A right cross is one that crosses over the body diagonally, and usually hits the opponent on their right hand side.

Answer 4

Overhand right is of no use unless most time. The straight right is there faster so it is the primary weapon. The overhand right is good against someone who throws a slow jab or a jab always in the same rhythm. You can launch the overhand right over the jab. It is a tool used at the right time but never a primary weapon.

Answer 5

I believe that a straight right is one you see coming but cannot avoid it and a right cross is the one that gets you when you should avoid it because you are too slow. Thwack!

Answer 6

A straight right gives you a bloody nose......A right cross gives you a broken jaw...or...puts you on the floor.....A knockout......If Its hard enough......

Answer 7

KO!
