Boxing Tips in 90 Seconds – Double Right Hand Combination

This latest of 90 second boxing tips covers one of the lesser used boxing combinations – the double right hand.

The double jab is talked about lots, and after the simple one-two is probably the most common boxing combination.  The double right hand, or double back hand, is much rarer but also carries much more destructive power.

Boxing Combination – Double Right Hand

Key points then:

1. You can use this double punch boxing combination on the attack or on the defense.

2. You can split this double punch boxing combination between the body and the head.

3. Don’t try to move as you throw the back hand shot – it doesn’t work well.  Plant the feet to let the punch go.

As well as the conventional double right hand you can also use a slight variation.  Throw the power right hand, do not retract the hips but pop the second shot out to keep the opponent’s head in place.  After the second shot lands you can use the lead hand to finish the job.

That’s all for now.  Comments or questions below please.

Cheers

    Hi Fran,
    You are right on target, twice. A great illustration of the impact of the double right hand was Golovkin’s combo which put Jacobs down in the fourth round and eventually made the difference in the final scores.

    A small variation of the double right hand is switching stance with the second shot. We did this a lot in conditional sparring – you throw a one-two and then double up up on the right hand with a shuffle which propels the right foot forward. This turns the second right right hand into a jab of sorts but the momentum and weight transfer provide enough power and the range is extended a little as well.

    Take care and keep them up at all times.

      Hey Ivan

      It’s been a while, really nice to hear from you, I hope you are well.

      What you point out is an excellent way of switching stance under cover. Brilliant move for those skilled enough to box out of either stance, very nice variation 🙂 Thanks very much.

    Love these 90 second lessons, Fran. Some people like me have really short attention spans. You are by far the best on the web! Keep it coming!

      Hi Chris
      Thanks mate, glad you like them. More videos coming 🙂

    Nice one Fran.

    • Fran March 9, 2017, 9:02 pm

      No worries Jim, thank you for the comment

    Hey Fran, The old coach is still in good form! Great demo! Ali always did the unexpected and it didn’t go unnoticed. As you pointed out, several great boxers since have found it effective as well. I believe GGG does it sometimes when he’s shifting.
    I like the low-high double right with the explosive back step. One of my favorite double-rights is after an outside slip, RH-sidestep/lay-back-RH, or after a diversionary jab, RH – RH while moving to mid-range.

      Thanks Pal. Very nice variations, hopefully those watching this video will try out your moves – I will definitely be passing it on to our boxers in the gym tomorrow. thanks very much.

    Hi Fran. Thanks for the video. Do you think you can release a video on how to double up on the left hook or throw multiple left hooks? Thanks.

    • Fran March 9, 2017, 9:00 pm

      No worries Brad. Will put something on the list.

  • Robin March 8, 2017, 10:15 pm

    Dear Fran,

    Thanks for another great video. Is great to see your technique, hips getting used to power the punch through!
    Also the side view is a good reminder on ducking with the legs and again rotating the hips and snapping that right out!
    Nice one.

    • Fran March 9, 2017, 9:00 pm

      Thanks Robin

      Those side views are really important, I always ensure that my boxers see the skill from the ‘open’ and ‘closed’ positions. It helps the small things stand out.
      Thanks for your comment mate, very much appreciated.
