context_page_description: An uppercut in boxing is a punch that usually aims for the opponent's chin and therefore it is known in the common language also as hook to the chin.
  In the technical language one does not use the expression "hook to the chin", because as a rule one calls a "hook" a punch from the side with the lead hand and almost always the chin is the target of punches.
