Punching power?

paulie malignaggi has some insane power. his secret" ask brownier

 

When is the last time someone saw a 36 minute street fight? lol

Exactly! Nothing to do with heavy-hands or punching-power, simply that the energy/power from one person is transfered much quicker and to a smaller target area via a bare-knuckle....or even an elbow! BOSH!

 

its all about the timing.

From the feet upwards, every muscle is an important link in a chain reaction of events.

The end result relies on the efficient transfer of accumulated stored energy, all the way along the chain,successfully accumulating and increasing the speed and momentum.

The total of that accumulated energy is transported all the way along,after a specific sequence of chain reactions, and through to the knuckles, and it is at this point that the energy is transferred by physical contact to the desired impact site.

Speed and weight are the key ingredients of any power punch.thumbsup

 

Well said.

 

:deal Tyson has stated this before. It's unbelievable you still see some pros not using basics, but whatever works for them.

 

It's about how hard you can squeeze your fist.

 

Comes from the hips!

 

Its different factors nothing has ever been set in stone that says you can't be a puncher. You can be shown the basics like punching form, timing, punch placement. Because if you dont have the timing you have useless power and won't find your target. You dont have shot placement your punch won't be as effective and you risk injuring your hands more.

. The rest like body type, weight, height, speed, strength, etc those are just extra factors that make up the equation.

 

I know a lot of people like to harp on it being technique but I have to disagree. Guys learn technique and become better punchers.

IMHO is still fiber ratio that determines if you have the potential a banger or not. Just as it determines if you can be a sprinter. Every single Olympic sprinter has a one of the two fast twitch gene mutations, so does every single Olympic weight lifter.

It does come down to simple physics and biology.

Fast twitch type IIa reach maximum tension 2-3 times faster than slow twitch, and IIbs reach maximum tension 10 times faster. There is your speed.

 

And yet the relevant and, to my mind, unquantifiable question remains: Which of these two factors is more important in delivering knockout blows in boxing ('being a banger'): technique or physique? And how might you go about proving it either way?:huh

 

Plain and simple,Punching Power you are born with.

Jimmy Wilde was perhaps P4P the hardest puncher of All Time,but to look at him you would think he had the build of an 11 year old boy,skinny legs and arms Etc.
Tommy hearns is another example of puncher with Pencil thin legs..And bob fitz...All could ko anybody!
So my opinion is you either have it or you dont.:think

 

People saying that boxer's KO ability comes from being born with it is discrediting to the boxers.

When I see a fighter performing a good KO or hard punch, I see the techniques in those punch(es) to generate and deliver that power.

 

What a load of nonsense, you sound like you're stuck in the 80's. All training changes the ratio of fibres.

 

About the only decent post in this thread. Long levers create more torque, guys with shorter levers need to compensate with extra speed, any body type can be a puncher. There are many factors involved, some are inherent but others can certainly be trained. Punchers can be born or made, usually a combination of both.

 

Slow-twitch/fast-twitch Muscle fiber ratios do not change. A slow twitch fiber cannot ever become a fast twitch fiber anymore than a fat cell can become a muscle fiber.

What bro-science where you reading that said such quackery?
