Where does power come from?

Same here. I'm generally a very even-keeled person, except when I end up arguing with a couple folks on this forum.

 

Sure they do.

 

You didn't miss anything. Picture a stiff scrawny kid tentatively shuffling around a swinging heavybag while throwing occasional slow, mostly chest-level 1-2s and 1-2-3s.

Weights have nothing to do with punching power bc lean muscle will be more explosive ( even Bruce lee acknowledges this and recommended lifting weights bc that could increase overall power and physical strength ) .

..someones body type who is untrained can hinder punching if they are overly bulky like a power lifter just watch that strongest man spar Joshua..Eddie Hall? .lol. And its still going to have power for guys who never even threw a punch at 300 plus at say 6'5 ...you wont want to feel that punch if you cant take a punch.

Ive lifted all my life and have always increased speed and power. Thats a huge myth that couldnt be more wrong. George foreman credits to increasing punching power bc of weights,and i dont even need him here,bc i preached that long before the internet world came about.

Im also not so sure about Amatuer wrestlers? ,imop from my own exp..wrestlers usually arent the best punchers bc they are use to grabbing.Get a decent striker though who wrestlers ,its another story,im more grappler/puncher myself.

 

There's abig difference from good punchers to great ones...sure we all need to hit the bag to be anything...but good punchers are made all the time...great ones are born

 

I'm saying that punching with weights ruins the mechanics of the punch.

Lifting explosively can increase speed & power. The fastest men in the world lift heavy weights. Say no more.

Shane Carwin and Johnny Hendricks have STARCHED people with one shot. These guys picked up striking late in life, yet some of their stoppages were devastating (I say amateur, because if I didn't, people on here would think I meant WWE).

 

That's your opinion, I'm sure most would agree here that skill and technique he was upper echelon. It was the complete lack of power that usually cost him against world class competition, or any fight beyond 4-5 rds.

 

Did I say that? Because if you understood it that way, you misunderstood my point.

 

You want to talk **** and say "scrawny" lmao that's rich coming from you short ass.

 

All this talk about training footage and yet it's nowhere to be found.

Put up!

 

Davis skill set was not top notch. He was very quick.....his speed was top notch. Many, like you, confuse the two.

 

A old friend of mine had only minor interest in boxing but I took him along to my gym for a workout. Started by heavy bag portion of my workout and was slamming fairly well. My friend put on the bag gloves and without hand wraps was generating so much power. Kind of scary as his technique was poor but to say the least I did not spar with him that day. He was my size but had inheritly heavy hands.

 

Good point!

 

Howard Davis Jr didn't have too much power because he maxed out all his skill points on speed.
