Author’s note: This will be a six part series. Please keep in mind that although some of our sample techniques feature straight right hands, the counters are the same as the one used against overhand rights.
As we analyzed in the parts one and two of our past series, although the overhand right seems like a simple punch, it can be combined with several follow-up moves. This can potentially make counters to the overhand right very tricky.
Due to the complexity of the counters listed below and before we proceed with specific technical examples, it is important to analyze several important concepts of the defensive and counteroffensive game.
