right crosses
Knockout blow types
Right crosses are punches in boxing thrown with the rear hand, crossing the body toward the opponent.
For orthodox (right-handed) fighters, the right cross is a power punch that travels straight from the right shoulder across the centerline: He dropped his opponent with a clean right cross.
The punch generates force by rotating the hips and shoulders.
