Got to love the standing punches vs the run up punches. I mean I've heard of mma fighters hitting as hard as a ford escort... what about an f 1 fiddy?
Ha. Nerd.Boxer's tend to generate more power with less wind up, their punches come at different angles and are set up with a different base than the majority of MMA strikers. The energy for a punch really starts in the legs and because there is no kicking or take downs in Boxing, the boxers are most often in position to generate more powerful punches. Also boxers tend to keep their power punches short and crisp with the power coming from the torque from their whole body moving, on average MMA punchers tend to have much longer unrefined striking with less power and torque. Obviously there are a lot of powerful punchers in MMA but on average the boxers generate more power especially with those bigger gloves, more surface area and hand protection.
These punching machines dont determine shit skinny ass Machine Gun Kelly hit that sucker hard too
in a real fight nobody is going to load up or run with a wind up like Conor did and throw a shot and if they did the fighter would avoid that punch so easy because its telegraphed
real power in a fight is when you can generate a snappy shot from a tight knit guard and short crisp hooks on the chin
you dont need to wind up because almost anyone can hit hard with a wind up shot fully loaded, I bet you a lot of those baseball players could break the record too on single punch on thosemachines.
You shouldve smashed your brother in the face and asked "how many points is that?"That's so true. I went on one of those punch power measuring arcade machines, the one where you have to punch the asteroid and it gives you a score in tonnes. I'd been boxing for about 5 years then and was considered to have heavy hands by people at my gym. With good form and no telegraph and just a small step I landed a right hand on the pad and I got a respectable score, I can't remember exactly what it was. And then my brother who's a bit smaller than me and who's never boxed in his life stands about 10 feet back from the machine and sprints full tilt at it throwing a fully wound up right hand all the way from the moon. He beats my score by about 5 tonnes. I was pissed off. I had a few goes after trying to beat his score but I couldn't do it. BUT I couldn't bring myself to take a run up at the machine because that would just be too much for my brain to accept in terms of boxing technique that I'd spent years working on.
LOL I should have done, he deserved it for the smug look he had on his face.You shouldve smashed your brother in the face and ask "how many points is that?"
yeah its bullshit, anyone can hit hard if they are putting their entire weight behind it like they are swinging a bat or throwing a fast ballThat's so true.

in boxing people dont do that because it leaves them open for a counter
imagine loading up against someone who is known for fast straight punches down the middle? they would touch your chin before you can land that haymaker
Ever seen that boxer Vic Darchinyan get knocked out by Nonito Donaire? Vic loves to load up with his chin forward he tried to load up to throw a punch and got knocked out with a short crisp step back hook to the face.
Real good power punchers in boxing just throw short shots and can hurt you its all about timing and punch placement with good snap leverage.
