Artur Kyshenko highlight: body shot


This is a pretty good highlight of Artur Kyshenko's previous fights. I clearly shows his love for throwing body shots using hook and straight punches.



Kyshenko lands many of his left hooks to the body because:
  • He hides them well with other punches, setting them up.
  • He often stays upright when he throws them, with the forearm horizontal. This allows him to come in from the side and around the arms of his opponent.
  • It also makes it more difficult for the opponent to spot the body shot coming as many fighters tilt their torso before they hook to the body. Artur doesn't.
  • He turns his hips correctly when he punches. This causes a lot of damage.
 Combine all that and you get a wicked cocktail of power and good timing.
