EP9 - How To Throw An Uppercut | Boxing Training, Technique & Drills

All punches are about position, the uppercut more so than others. If you're out of position, the uppercut can be a really dangerous punch, if you're in the right position, it can be very useful and affective.

In this episode of Pullmanomics, professional boxing trainer John Pullman breaks down the basics of the uppercut. How to position yourself properly to throw the uppercut and how to defend yourself while doing it. These uppercuts are demonstrated by a southpaw boxer however all these fundamentals can be applied to the right handed stance as well.

Some great recent fighters that have had really affective and memorable uppercuts are Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz. Some classic fighters to reference that really positioned themselves properly are James Toney, Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe.
