Moscow City. “RAMTL FIGHT-VI”. Sher “Sher-Khan” Mamazulunov (UZB) vs Valery “Gentleman” Pashkovsky (RUS).
If the elbow is raised higher, this punch will become an interim between straight and side punch. To make upper cross more powerful, the boxer can raise on its toes before throwing it.
Lower head cross.
The initial position for this punch is as follows: slightly inclining to the right, rotating torso to the right. Everything else is identical to the basic technique.
Short head cross.
The moment boxers get close to each other, right crosses become short punches (same way it happens with jabs). The technique is similar to basic upper and lower crosses. Short crosses are very strong and impactful for the opponent.

1994-02-05. Novosibirsk (RUS). RMTL tournament. Dmitry Plyasetsky (BLR) vs Alexander Sokolov (RUS).
Short lower crosses can be done not only after the slipping, but also from the fighing stance.
Body cross.
Body cross should be done the same way as basic cross: rotating the torso and the right hip while making step with the left foot. This punch has three options: with slipping, without slipping and jumping cross.
When doing the cross with slipping to the left, the boxer should make a small lunge and secure head through the slipping. On top of that, the head is covered from a counter-punch with right shoulder and left glove.

2. Body cross without slipping is a very strong punch. It targets heart area. To get to the target, the boxer makes a deeper lunge forward-left. The head is covered with the left glove.
3. Jump cross is made in a long range fight. To get closer to the opponent, before punching the boxer makes a sliding jump on his right leg: moving bodyweight to the right leg and slightly pulling back, the boxer jumps on his right foot and lands on the left.
The jump should not be headed up, it should be sliding. After the jump, the boxer throws a cross while stepping with the left foot. The jump makes this punch extremely powerful.
Short body crosses.
Short body crosses are used in a short range. They are very impactful and can be done together with moving bodyweight on the right or left leg. Short body crosses are done with the elbow drawn down and the fist pointing thumb up.
