‘Hit Her Too Hard She Forgot What a Cross Is’: 13-Year-Old Brother Knocking Sister Out Cold Clip Sends Fans Into Frenzy

Contrary to popular belief, boxing, as we know it today, isn’t what it used to be. But then, the bare-knuckle fist fights were raw, often brutal, and more significantly, sans any systematic techniques or execution. The adoption of Marquess of Queensberry rules in 1867 paved the way for modern boxing.

Gloves, confinement to a ring, and rounds necessitated agility instead of sheer reliance upon brute strength. Thus, tactics furthering attacking and defensive approaches forced coaches to synchronize hand movements or, more precisely, punches.

Boxing is not only one of the most watched sports, but has also become a multi-million dollar business. In addition, boxers at the top of their game are internationally recognized celebrities.

Now a major Olympic sport in an amateur capacity, no surprise that even in its non-commercial form, the game’s popularity is increasing exponentially. The success of cable networks and pay-per-view streaming has taken boxing to every nook and corner of the world. As a result, aspiring young men and women throng boxing gyms like never before.

Even those who wish to pursue something else, other than sweet science, as a career or sheer passion, make it a point to showcase their skills through video clips and chats.

A Straight Right or a Right Cross or a Right Jab?

A recent video became a talking point. It showed a young boy and presumably his sister, wearing gloves, trying their hands at boxing. On the face of it, the boy appeared a bit more technically sound. But, as his sister charges, flashing jabs, finding a gap, he throws a straight right that lands neatly on her face. Not expecting such an attack, she ends up on the ground.

The clip has received excellent circulation. What’s interesting to observe is that many (mostly men) made it a point to correct the narrative.

The caption in the tik-tok clip read – “When your 13 years old brother gives you the right jab and it’s your parents proudest moment.”

And it opened the floodgates.

Combattryout – It’s a right cross

Toeing the line, another viewer added.

_bad_fish – Right cross

Gods_avenging_angel – Right down the middle 😂

Few couldn’t help but enjoy the pun.

Leonelleon93 – The “right jab” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now it was time for the perfectionists to jump and quell the doubts.

Portugue – That’s a straight, not a jab. A jab is the front arm. The one from behind is a straight right if he’s left handed and If his left is back his right is the jab.

Jorgeisaiass – straight right 🤦🏽‍♂️

Bet.ua.saber – she is too open…. 0_0

Tpls_2022 – That was no jab! 🥊😂

Enricososa7 – Straight *

Finally, a level-headed observation of what went through the clip.

Stacy – Bro hit her too hard she forgot what a cross is

For the sake of simplicity…

It’s good to see a sport reaching people, irrespective of their expertise, class, or creed. However, technical doubts shall remain and should be there to generate healthy discussions and understanding.

For the uninitiated, following the head. If you are right-handed, take the regular boxing stance. Then, without moving the head, execute a straight punch following the line of your head – that’s straight right.

In the same stance, if you tilt your head towards the left and allow the punch to follow the head direction (it should move diagonally across the torso) – that’s a right cross.

Let us know the type of punch thrown in the clip?
