[GIF] The right hand that should've stopped Braddock? (High Quality)

Any telegraphing baer made was hidden by the jab. Its also not your typical baer punch so even if braddock had seen it coming the off timing of it would have caught braddock. I see there is weight transfer from right foot to left, punch lands in the middle of that transfer, shoulders waist all line up. Baer was relaxed right until the moment of impact where he tightens his fist and forearms. Doesnt look like he turns over the fist, but a powderpuff puncher who turns his fist over is not suddenly going to become george foreman. It was basically a shortened, simplified version of a basic louis cross, isnt louis considered the epitome of power punching?

Louis put Braddock's teeth through his gumshield.I've never heard of anyone else doing that.

"Braddock later said, "When he hit me with that left-right combination, I could've stayed down on the canvas for three weeks."

 

In all honesty I remember the hard punchers but the one time in my life I was sparked out I remember nothing of it except the guys hands felt like rocks everytime he clipped me.....

 

Yes many have said that, Patterson said it was painless,Henry Cooper ,after being ko'd by Ingo said the same.Fullmer after SRR. The guys that ruin you are the ones that throw incessantly hard punches ,the relentless grinders,such as Marciano,very few were the same after sharing a ring with him.

 

Arm punch.No power from the hips, no power from the shoulder.A decent clip that any reasonably durable heavyweight should withstand without being floored.imo

 

Do you ever write something thats not negative towards another poster or that insults there boxing knowledge like you know everything and only your opinion and observations are correct?? Not trying to start sh#t cause thats not what im about but thats how you come off weather its on purpose or not. Remember its not always about being right its about learning new things on here.

 

You can see Braddocks knees buckle from that right hands impact. That right landed a bit high....not on the button. That same punch, on the button, would have dropped Braddock.

 

It looks to me like Baer rushed the punch because his range was a little more crowded than he expected, and got in something that connected rather than a full sell-out KO punch he was probably hunting for. I don't see a lot of snap or dramatic weight shift or any other magical incantations from the elders. I just see a good punch given the situation, nothing more.

 

When Baer tapped someone on the shoulder it probably hurt.

 

It's called imagination.
