Horizontal Fist vs. Vertical Fist for the Hook “The horizontal-fist hook is more effective because it hits a wider area of the head. If you hit him on the temple, you’ll also connect two inches beyond the temple—which is good if he moves. The vertical-fist hook, however, is more pinpoint. The jaw area is rather small, and the width of the hand can kill a knockout punch by making contact where it’s not supposed to. Both can work, though. I’ve thrown hooks horizontally and vertically, and they’ve had the exact same effect.” —James Bennett, bouncer, boxer, kenpo black belt
