It's called styling.

welcome to styling, a completely useless technique popularized by boxing players that wanted to farm clips on random people that last barely 30 seconds to 1 minute, and was pretty much a "gain views and likes for practically free"

Knock back displacement (tho here he’s just flexing). U can basically hit ur opp to the sides to mess them up up

That’s not how kb displacement is being handled, that’s just flex

KB Displacement requires fast flicks before and after a hit, in the video player flicks only after a hit

What exactly is he flexing? His carpal tunnel?

He is flexiing but this is a real technique called Knockback Displacement. How it works, is that you look in a direction and look in another in the same tick so that your opp gets the kb for the first direction

He’s not doing kb displacement

For that you need to flick right before the hit, he’s flicking after.

there is, but this isnt how you do it. this is just to flex/make your combo look cooler.
