In the beginning both punches are strikes to the target, but the jab can also be a deceptive tool. The jab can be used to gauge distance, before firing off with the cross to knock out the opponent. Or it can used to lure the adversary in. You throw a jab that is just barely in range to make contact and if the opponent steps in as you step just a few inches or even millimetres away. When they come within range. You strike at them, straight for their face. The one two combination is now a strategy for the counter puncher. The tactic is deceiving with the jab and killing with the cross.
This is where the one two is more than just a combo, it represents the two hands as you only have two. If you think out of the box, the one two can also be your two feet.
Connor McGregor has used the version mentioned above in his quick knock outs in the UFC and Tyson Fury used the classic normal combination against Wilder in their second fight. Touching Wilder’s glove with the jab and firing with the cross into Wilder’s ear busting the ear drum. The one two is formidable.
