Boxing stance and punch execution must force them to make all kinds of adjustments. Offensively and defensively. Interesting stuff.
I think they're just strengthening their skills. As DaSaint said Anuwat Kaewsamrit, one of the p4p top fighters in recent years has a lot of punch knockouts and is hugely popular. One of the consensus GOAT nak muay's Samart Payakroon was really adept at punching and a WBC boxing champion in the 90's. It's generally accepted well
