How do you know when you are throwing a really powerful punch? How does it FEEL?

    Like if you hit the air as hard as you could in shadow boxing or the heavy bag.

    How would a particularly hard punch feel?

    For example would you feel all the blood rushing into your hand with a straight right punch if thrown in the air?

    If you hit the heavy bag how does it feel in your body? Do you feel it down your lats?

    A very powerful punch must produce different feelings to a normal boxing punch!?

    You feel it down in your feet. That's where it comes from.

    When it goes through the padding and into your knuckles. You can feel the impact shivering down into your wrists.

    That's when you -know- you've just rocked a person.

    Cool answer I love that sudden "shivering" or like when a cartoon character walks into a pole that animation is what you mean but you feel it in your body. But cant everyone give that type of power?

    What does a true puncher feel, thats different from a regular boxer? What does Julian Jackson feel, that Bernard Hopkins does not feel?

    I've always been told if you throw the punch in the air and it "felt powerful" than it wasn't because your own body held the force in. A powerful punch in the air should feel effortless because everything is working together to transmit the force into the target.

    What the hell is the point of this question? I don't see what you gain from people telling you how they feel when they land a punch. :patsch

    You'll feel the kinetic energy transfer up your arm and through your body. That's when you know you had impact.

    When you feel a spark of pain in your hand because the padding of your glove was completely thwarted? Follow up. He's probably hurt, even if he doesn't look it.

    In all seriousness though, i'm not much of a powerpuncher. But in my last fight I came up w/a perfect left hook and felt the full weight of his head bounce off my fist and it was loud pop. (lots of oohs & ahhs from the crowd).

    I guess it wasn't hard enough to knock him out (more on the temple than the chin). But he was rocked and was back peddlng.

    I knew that was a hard one cuz I rarely land a shot like that in sparring.

    I'm a very hard puncher - on a bag. But being a powerpuncher is all about how you apply that technique in a fight, which i am still working on.

    But yeah it feels good, like when a basketball makes a "swoosh" sound, you just know it.

    theres no feeling in the world like landing a left hook and dropping someone.it didnt happen very often but the feeling goes all the way up into your shoulder.it never felt as good with any other punch though.
    i'll never forget it
