Their Right Hand Keeps Finding My Chin

01 · The Situation

The southpaw's right cross lands on me more than any punch from an orthodox fighter. I know it is their weapon. I know it is coming. It still gets through.

02 · Your Turn

Have a partner slowly show you the southpaw right cross — the path it travels and exactly where it arrives. Notice where your head is when it lands. Is it forward? Straight? Come back when you know where your head is at the moment of impact.
