Media Is this why Alex Pereira hits so hard? - Firas Zahabi on Alex Pereira

Alex' punch against Jamahal was in fact a shovel hook, not Mexican hook.

Also, while the pointer-finger knuckle is not aligned with the wrist bone, the middle-finger knuckle is directly aligned with the thicker of the two wrist bones (the radius), which is more massive than the outer wrist bone (the ulna), with which the pinky-knuckle is aligned.

So I agree and disagree.

Alex punch on Jamahl looked more like a slightly angled corkscrew uppercut. It was more of a pushing feel when throwing, activating more tricep than usual, as opposed to a shovel hook which is more of a closing the door motion activating more bicep like most hooks.
