Your single favourite strike

[facePuncher7]

What's your favourite strike out of all that you've ever seen and why?

Hard to choose, I could easily rattle off over a hundred I'm sure, but I'm going to go with this one from Marvin Hagler.

The jab at 1:24

I'm not exactly sure what I like about it so much, but the timing is perfect, it kind of follows Hearn's head like a heat seeking missile, and makes a thudding sound that you don't often hear from a jab. It always stuck out in my mind as a statement making punch - POP!

The cross/hook thing Hagler lands at 1:06 has a similar effect.

What about you guys?

How do you keep your toes/feet from getting hurt if you throw the teep consistently. I tend to be conservative with the teep because I tend to hurt my toes or the softer parts of my feet on people's elbows.

My favorite strike is probably the high roundhouse kick because it's my most dangerous strike. A hard roundhouse kick isn't fun for the opponent to block, instills fear or at least a sense of danger and when it connects it is over.

Front Kick to the knee. I think they call it the oblique kick. This has saved my ass in street fights.

I've got a quick teep, it gets through to the soft meaty bits of my opponent most of the time. I hit with the ball of my foot, toes back.

[ArtemV]

I am a big fan of Artem Levin (and his knees) the way he checks gloves, switches stance and just does it like a badass.

But Daniel Ghita knocking out Brice Guidon:
From the start it was a beatdown being recieved by Guidon, first combo shook Brice, sent him back towards the ropes, then Ghita threw around 3 right body hooks, they as soon as Guidon looked to counter, Ghita waited for his glove to move from his face, then he left hooked Guidon into deep sleep. It was beautiful.

Or Artem Vakhitov vs Luis Tavares, he did a beautiful right body hook to get a reaction then stepped across then delivered a left spinning back fist and got a knockdown. Then a few moments later, he slipped/half caught a Tavares right hand, but slipped to the side and dug his left shovel punch to da liver. Then ended his night.
