If you keep your spine straight up for both punches. And you rotate both shoulders fully for the right hand, the reach should be even. More importantly, both punches will be powerful. If you try to lean or extend your reach, you lose balance and power.
@ 2:47 thats an option ofcourse but Ive found a person trying to shoulder roll u can jab the inside of the shoulder (or a kind of shovel left hook) HARD to make them turn just a little to where their shoulder is out of the way and then trow the hard right and can be followed by a left hook body or head.
i throw very straight punches according to my trainer but i'd like to develop my right hand better i'm right handed but it seems like i'm way more comfortable and better throwing my left hand.. my jab is my best punch and my hook is so straight that when it lands it looks like a jab kind of but my right hand is too slow or something because i can't land it ever and it's bothering me
Do you throw convincing fakes? Also try coming forward on the front leg, put more weight on the front leg when throwing jab then right into cross as jab hand comes back to defend, try to put out the cigarette or so to speak when throwing the right so you are using more hip and creating a better whip! Basically try the basic one two but use the jab to Penetrate the pocket and position for the cross so you are not over reaching and can keep the spine straight and upright Good luck on your journey!
ahh good one. I realised why my right hand sucks, i tend to step in a little when i jab. that straightens my stance out and ruins my right. what should be the reach difference between a jab and right hand?
Have to get deeper in the pocket to land the right so use jab to more or less Penetrate the pocket and throw cross instantly as the jab comes back to defend. Staying centered and not leaning too far forward also helps and rotating the hips for a good Crack. Don't flare out your elbows on a jab or a cross either as it telegraphs.

Agreed!
Thanks for sharing this very fundamental and very true lesson!
Squash the bug or put out the cigarette like iron Mike says!
