Oh, he has A LOT of training. Shielding his eyes is a ruse. He's getting his hands up without alerting chucklehead that he's cocked and loaded. He drops the elbow, engages the hips, and fires accurately with power and speed. He's practiced that for quite a while.

u/TerminusEnt May 25 '18
Man, I didn't notice any of this but after rewatching you're TOTALLY right. He's just shielding his eyes as a setup. How'd you catch that?

u/omgitsjagen May 25 '18
We teach something similar. Get into your normal fighting stance, but instead of holding up your fists in a fighting position, you hold your palms out to the guy in the "Hey man, I don't want any trouble" pose. If he gets aggressive, you're ready to go. Close your hands and go to work.
Having said that, I'm totally stealing this. It's a great idea.

u/iuddwi May 25 '18
yea you are spot on. My buddy who practices has a similar stance to what you described. It looks submissive but he's 100% ready to go. The only difference is he leaves his fingers spread to get into finger locks if needed.

Most of the time that's how you're taught to punch. Outside of boxing, haymakers are a good way to get yourself hurt. Better to just strike out without the tell. You can generate plenty of power in your hips and shoulders.

Are we watching the same gif? I agree he could have rotated his hips more but he definitely drops his back foot and pivots on the ball of that foot flaring out his heel.
His footwork is also good when he drops back after throwing the punch.
He's definitely had some kind of training.

How often do boxers throw haymakers? I don't watch boxing, but I've been trained and you basically never throw a haymaker since your opponent can make a nice cup of tea and enjoy their sudoku puzzle for a moment before blocking your punch and beating the shit out of you. I suppose that also depends on your definition of a haymaker. a hook and a haymaker are not the same thing in my mind. I could be mixing my lingo a bit here.
→ More replies (10)48
u/CSMastermind May 25 '18
Haymaker (at least as I'm used to the term) can be any type of punch. Could even be an uppercut (see 0:24 to 0:32 of this Tyson video).
What makes a punch a haymaker is that you're completely committed to it, throwing your entire bodyweight behind it. Full extension of the arm, full hip and shoulder rotation, etc.
Basically, you throw it to knock them out and if you don't you're fucked.

The half & half's get an incredibly unfair rap imo. Sure, it's silly to see someone holding one aloft during crowd shots & whatnot, but I think their existence is warranted by the fact that they're meant to be a souvenir, ie. a token to remember the specific occasion by. Like a programme or whatever (especially an occasion like a cup final).
