uppercut

Taylor was hurt by an uppercut in the seventh before replying with a two-punch combination.

He outmuscled Rios, with the challenger covering up as left and right hooks landed on the temple and snappy uppercuts snuck through the high guard.

“I saw more intent to hit the ball flat, to get base hits versus just the uppercut to elevate the baseball.”

The message finally got through when Dixon came out with real intent in the sixth, throwing caution to the wind and hurting Harper with an uppercut and a thudding right.

With seemingly unconscious precision, Vedder landed surprise uppercuts, his voice surging on unexpected syllables, before rumbling through a rough-and-tumble bridge toward the end.
