    It's up to who can play the clinch game better.
    if you have double underhooks how on earth do you throw a hook punch like bawang is talking about

    It's from haymaker to under hook. It's not from under hook to haymaker. It's from striking to clinching. It's not from clinching to striking.

    bawang said, "When you apply haymaker, your opponent can apply double legs on you.

    I said, "you can change your haymaker into under hook to prevent double legs. If you can just get one arm under your opponent's shoulder, he can't drop his body to reach to your legs."

    In Karate the "haymaker" is called Mawashi-Tzuki ( Roundhouse punch) and it can be used with the fist or forearm, Uechi-ryu uses the forearm for example.

    Every technique has its place and when a technique "fails" then, typically, it is because someone has used it in the "wrong place".

    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    If you use forearm to hit behind your opponent's head and horse back kick both of his legs, you can flip him. If you know how to use your leg to generate power in the opposite direction of your striking force, you already understand the throwing art.

    I can't say for sure, but I got the impression that he meant 'Person A' drops level when the haymaker is thrown by 'Person B'. You see it a lot.

    Many wrestlers like to put leading hand in front of their leading leg knee. If your 45 degree downward haymaker can reach to that point (in front of your knee), you can use your under hook to stop your opponent's shooting.
