Inside Uppercut to Lead Body Hook

Work on the inside close to the heavy bag. Throw a tight lead uppercut upstairs to force the opponent's guard up, then immediately whip a heavy left hook downstairs into the liver/body. Key points: - Stay in close pocket range on the inside - Throw the short uppercut with the intention of raising the opponent's guard - Whip the lead body hook cleanly around the elbow into the ribs Common mistakes: Throwing the combination from too far away or dropping the opposite guard hand.
