Being a short tubby bugger myself, I love the Hunt! \u00a0He is a beast.<\/p>\n
His punching power appears to come from\u00a0his great timing, his accuracy, his strength and bodyweight & his use of the Russian Hook and the Overhand Right which are perfect for a man of his build.<\/p>\n
I didn’t think he would have taken on Stefan\u00a0Struve on the feet like he did though.<\/p>\n
I believe, quite obviously I guess, that his best asset is his toughness. \u00a0If a big guy throws a jab at him, he’ll walk through it; or at least stay right there; in the pocket. \u00a0Whilst the rest of us would move back, out of range, he’ll slip it on just take it on his forehead to get ‘in the pocket’.<\/p>\n
His most successful punches appear to be his own version of the Russian left hook. \u00a0One of Fedor’s favourites; he turns his thumb over and down so his little finger is positioned at the top when he makes contact with his opponent’s chin. \u00a0He also leaps into it quite often too, given him some extra range (something you’d probably get told off for in a boxing class). \u00a0Turning the thumb over gives the punch the range of a straight punch but the power of a looping punch.<\/p>\n He also loves the overhand right. \u00a0If you haven’t seen this punch, it’s another MMA mainstream technique that is rarely seen in boxing. \u00a0He lowers his level by bowing forwards and throws his arm in a straight looping arc, as if he’s bowling a ball.<\/p>\n This is an awesome punch if you’re the shorter fighter. \u00a0Here’s a nice instructional from expertboxing.com![\"mark](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/markhunt2.jpg\")
