Faking a hook is a form of fainting.
Fainting is more of so hands up measuring your opponents jab.
I assumed when he meant faking the hook - he throws the shoulder with half extended reach - you know - one of those that people whom are just beginning to box do which exposes their entire mid section left or right depending which side they are faking.
But yea.. your post is pretty much spot on but missed the over hand jabs are neat as well. I prefer those over straight any day. Much better when trying to execute uppercut combinations.
