One-two combo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In boxing, the "one-two combo" is a nickname of jab and cross combo. It is so named because, in boxing parlance, the jab is often referred to as a "1" and the cross as a "2".
Boxers usually learn this combination before any other.
The jab is designed to get the fighter in range while effectively blinding the opponent and hiding the cross, which is a longer punch that will be slipped if thrown on its own. Generally, the jab is thrown with 60% power while stepping forward into range, and the cross follows at full power as the lead hand is retracted back to the guard.
