That is probably the best example and explanation about the right cross and how it is a variation of the straight right and not of the right hook. In French the word for hook is crocheté which sounds similar to cross. The word crocheté in the meaning of hook has been adopted in many languages in Europe, so the cross is easily misunderstood as a long hook (swing). The similarities between a swing and a cross are more than the differences which are in many cases academic and theoretical. Great job, thank you. You know your boxing.

I have a question for you.. I am boxing in korea and they train you to throw a right in two ways. First to throw it and then turn the fist as you get to your opponent.... or throw it straight so that your hand is straight. As in index finger on top and pinky on the bottom. I am used to turning my fists from north america. do you know why they do this? thanks! Hi!
