Boxing Combination- What do you think of it and how practical it is?

Question

I've been thinking about boxing combinations and figuring which ones don't work and which ones do. Now I know boxing is about improvising, as with most fighting arts, there is no set combination that will make you win. Everyone has heard of 1-2 and 1-1-2 and 1-2-3, but I have come up with a combination that is fast, aggressive, and should land some hits at least. Here is the combination:

Jab (move in), Cross, Left Head Hook, Cross, Left Head Hook, Right Uppercut, Left Head Hook, Cross

In boxing notation:

1-2-3-2-3-4-3-2

The idea behind it is that the 1-2-3-2 will flood through a guy's defense because it is a quick barrage of punches. The Left Hook off the 1-2-3-2 acts as a connector punch for the 4-3-2 punch combination. You usually don't expect a Left Head Hook followed by a Right Uppercut, Left Head Hook, Cross. So tell me boxers and non boxers, what do you think of this combo, and what changes/alterations would you make to it. Thanks!

Answer 1

Realize that anytime you throw a punch it leaves you open to get hit.

Especially an uppercut.

If you are hitting your opponent then anything and everything works.

If he is blocking or slipping punches he will counter and hit you.

Throwing hooks off of jabs is always good, if you are fast enough to do it.

So, everything is good as long as it works, but when you are fighting and the other guy is throwing back often nothing works.

Answer 2

That is funny. How long did it take you to figure that out? i HAVE BOXED FOR MANY YEARS AND i THOUGHT I HEARD IT ALL THAT IS A GOOD ONE . i ALSO PLAY THE DRUMS IT LOOKS MORE LIKE SHEET MUSIC FOR THE DRUMS THAN BOXING'S BUT IT WONT WORK FOR THE DRUMS EITHER.iT WONT WORK ON A PERSON BUT IT WILL WORK ON A HEAVY BAG.
