How to Throw the Perfect Cross (Right Hand / 2) in Boxing

Tony Jeffries shares how to throw the perfect cross punch in boxing w/ proper form and technique. Cross or your right hand ( or your left if you are a southpaw) is your stronger punch but a bit difficult to land. I showed the common mistakes first when people are throwing their cross then demo the correct way to throw it.

@@Tony_Jeffries Self defense mate. I'm 5 foot 8 in a land full of giants.

[@ok4976]

It's impressive how the little details in boxing can make so much of a difference. For example, I had problems with landing the cross, so my coach told me to move my rear foot 2-3 inches away from the lead foot and boom, I was able to land the cross a lot easier.

[@ME-xq8bg]

Man I’m so glad this guy has these videos up. So detailed and educational.👍👍👍

[@kennethduff248]

Thank you Tony, like always you deliver good accurate info. Anytime I comment I have to always give thanks to you even if it's something that I'm way past, but I always believe in going back to the fundamentals to make sure everything is how it should be. Also videos like these help me teach others and also my kids. I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to put out vital info for free!!!! That is very awesome of you, so thank you.

[@reyhaanmohamed4210]

I've always wanted to learn mma for self defense. But boxing alone intrigues me. I love the simplicity and techniques and i also love this channel!

[@mahidm1804]

I'm not a boxer but I've understood this lesson years ago, and have been training for the perfect jab and that perfect cross. I once saw two guys fight outside of a Teso and a taller guy throw a haymaker which I could see from miles away. I had time to contemplate different combinations before he even throw that punch. Its so weird to say this as I'm not a boxer but it's makes so much sense when you understand this video and practise it. The perfect jab or cross is so much more efficient in terms of speed, accuracy, and you reserve so much more energy. Not to mention the obvious, that mechanically its a stronger punch when thrown perfectly.

[@TwanBankz]

did it land tho ??

The best thing about learning from tony is that you don't lose your nature of fighting unlike other coaches who change your actual nature of fighting in an attempt of correcting the technique.

Thank you. What I personally don't understand about cross is the role of the rear foot. I've been told by my coach that there's sudden jerk/twist which comes from the rear foot and that and the shoulder is where the punch derives it's power from I'm making a mistake there
