Question
My last question went to jack regarding basic combonations.. (jacks not there anymore..)
he gave me a 1 Left jab 2 right cross 3 left hook 4 right hook 5 left uppercut 6 r uppercut..
he gave me a basic sequence which I pratice most days.. 1, 12, 123, 112, 1123, 21  K im still gonna practice this but I was hoping for another technique sequence (should I direct this question to another?)..an inside combo.. not too advanced.. still in development..

Answer
First of all I do not use a right hook for an orthodox fighter in a number sequence.  I use 1 jab 2 righthand 3 lefthook 4 right uppercut 5 left uppercut 6 right hook to body 7 left hook to body.  All others are speciality punches such as overhand rights etc.  To answer your question you should use combos that make sense example 4 right uppercut which lifts the head followed by a 3 left hook to head possibly coming back with a 2. Another might me 1 jab which covers the eyes of an opponent followed by a right uppercut a 4.  I will be offering a series on combination punching on my website at a later date.  www.boxingdoneright.com
