When executing an uppercut punch from the guard, the shoulder lowers with the knees and then the body is propelled forward and upwards, extending the fist towards the chin and face area. The articIe was very informative and I would like to suggest if you could add an image of the 4 basic punches for us amateurs and incompetent visual learners.

As the punch reaches full extension, the lead shoulder can be brought up to guard the chin, while the rear hand remains next to the face to guard the jaw. After making contact with the target, the lead hand is retracted quickly to resume a guard position in front of the face.
The cross is a powerful straight punch thrown across the body originating from the strongest dominant hand rear hand. Technique wise, the rear hand is thrown from the chin, crossing the body and traveling towards the target in a straight line. The rear shoulder is thrust forward while the lead jabbing hand is retracted to protect the face and chin.
For additional power, the torso and hips are rotated counter-clockwise as the cross is thrown with the boxer transferring weigh onto the front foot, the body rotation and weight transfer giving the right cross a lot more power than the jab. Quickly after the punch is thrown, the hand is retracted to the guard position. The Hook is a semi-circular punch thrown with the lead or rear hand. The punch is executed by rolling the upright fist from a vertical position to a horizontal position in conjunction with a small step and rotation of the entire body in that direction except for the head.
The other hand is tucked firmly against the jaw to protect the chin. Quickly step back and snap left arm back to starting position. Common mistakes: Be sure to keep shoulders pressed down away from ears and elbows tucked in at sides of ribcage. Avoid leaning forward. Start in boxing stance.
Rotate right hip forward and pivot on right foot until heel comes off the ground, shifting weight forward and extending right arm forward to punch, rotating palm to face down. Quickly snap right fist back to face. Again, this will be the opposite if you're left-handed.
Common mistakes: Make sure to rotate back foot and avoid leaning forward or letting your guard down. Bend left arm at degree angle and swing as if punching someone in the jaw. Pivot so that knee and hips face to the right. When throwing a rear-hand hook that's right hand for righties; left for lefties , pivot rear heel when throwing punch.
Common mistakes: Remember to rotate hips for power, and don't wind up too far back-you don't want your opponent to see what's coming.
