Get your opponent to expose himself so you can do some real damage.

1: Fernando throws a long right cross from orthodox stance.

2: As Rafael covers up, Fernando steps in to close the distance.

3: He digs in a left body shot, which should brings Rafael’s guard down.

4: Fernando takes a small step back as he throws a left hook to the head.

5: To finish off the combination, Fernando steps back in and throws a right elbow to the top of Rafael’s head.

6: If that doesn’t knock Rafael down, Fernando steps back out of range and returns to fighting stance.

TOP TIPS

STUDENT

The initial right cross is as much a range finder as anything else. Snap it out.

KRU

Save your power for the left hook to the head after your opponent covers up off the body punch.

MASTER

Try switching the final strike to a right knee by pulling the head down with your left hand after the hook.
