What does a 'right upper cut' mean?

What is the difference between that and a right hook?

A right upper cut means that the boxer takes hir right hand andswings in an upward motiion, planiting the punch on the underside (hopefully) of his opponent's chin.

A right cross is when the boxer swings his right fist from right to left, and (again, hopefully) plants his punch on his opponent's left cheek bone.

The right upper cut is the choicest part of the cow. The right hook is what it hangs on at the butcher shop. Right cross is how the cow felt when they took it!!1

Thank you Ringo!

And Balladeer as usual you've illuminated the subject! Now I don't know whether to look for Don King or Bessie the cow!
