MMA's Fedor shows some great punching technique (reminiscent of Monzon?)

A fat MMA guy threw it, therefore it can't have been anything more than your typical bar room brawl haymaker.

It was surely a great punch by Fedor but overall I wouldn't say that he has great punching, or boxing technique. It works for him though. Arlovski probably has the more orthodox striking techniques and see how he ended up.

Of course Arlovski tends to back straight up with his hands on his waist and was throwing a flying knee while leaving himself completely open so he isn't truly a great technical striker either.

Fedor just has such natural fighting and punching instincts and innate ability, though a lot of it is brought out through his wealth of experience against all manner of opponent.

 

Thanks for the explanation Pea :good

 

Fedor's overhand right reminds me a bit of Max Baer.
I can't really see much of Monzon in his punching.

 

Fedor has a decent right,but still don't why he should be compared of all boxers with Monzon.

 

I'm not a MMA fan, but Fedor is a true great. Keep in mind those MMA gloves are very light and designed to produce Ko's. Still that was a vicious right hand.

 

Could someone else explain what point Popkins is trying to make?
Fedor doesn't pull his arm back and telegraph his power punches?
He has after all well rounded development in his shoulders . Is that it?

 

I get it. I disagree.
