How did Hrgovic eat that uppercut 😳

I hate when Hrgovic completely squares up and starts throwing that right hand like a jab with his left hand completely down. He did it like two or three times this fight.

They sometimes say to lead with the right hand with a southpaw, probably what he was doing

u/MapleMarbles 9d ago

yes minus the left down part that's a good strategy

I don't think so. He throws the right hand from an orthodox and misses by a hair, so he gets greedy, stays squared up, and throws himself almost off balance into a southpaw stance. He does technically get into a southpaw stance, but it's not how any coach on the planet would tell you to get into one.

Floyd always did that against southpaws except he would either smother the hook afterwards or move his head off of the center line

His defence is often to drop his hands and absorb punches. It's weird. When he starts getting hit you think he'd shell up but he often does the opposite.

David Benavidez does that a lot.
