Pot Shots
“Pot shots- 1 punch techniques. Often effectively used with speed, power, accuracy and timing. Done successfully after feints and/or deception movements and effective from the outside”
Mostly performed with a lead jab, cross, and even hook”
As mentioned above, pot shots are quick, one-punch techniques that are often used in boxing to create openings and catch opponents off guard. These punches are typically thrown with speed, power, accuracy, and timing, and are effective when used in combination with feints and deception movements.
Pot shots are often used from the outside, as they allow the boxer to maintain distance and control the pace of the fight. They can be performed with a lead jab, cross, or even a hook, depending on the situation and the opponent’s positioning.
One of the keys to successfully landing pot shots is to use proper footwork and movement to create angles and openings. By moving in and out and side to side, the boxer can create opportunities to land the punch with greater accuracy and power.
It’s important to note that pot shots should be used strategically and sparingly, as they can be risky if not executed correctly. In addition, they should be used in combination with other techniques and strategies, such as setting up combinations and using feints, in order to be most effective.
