Naseem Hamed's Power. Where did it come from?

rule britiana

 

it came from his confidence..but he had too much of that so it became cockiness

 

I was going to post that....

 

Who will break the Allah thing to Pavlik?

 

If he missed with this first uppercut he would jump up, wouldn't he? Like Zulander said, he just launches himself at people and his fist is by part like the end of a bullet that is his whole body. That's what generates his power - it's not the power of his hands. And all the angles that he's able to do it from..

To me he's an artist in what he's doing. It's so unorthodox that seems ridiculous but it's brilliant. It's a shame he didn't continue to develope his art.

 

I dunno, from what I saw he really didn't seem 'hurt badly' at all. You can tell when a fighter is hurt badly -- their legs wobble and do an involuntary dance, or they cover up and back away to the ropes, or they even start to look sluggish and suddenly drunk in movement, etc. Hamed showed none of those signs; he got knocked down, sure, and his body twisted dramatically when he got punched, certainly, and so I can see how that would make it seem as if he would be really hurt, but I personally didn't see any signs of real hurt in him at all during that fight. Boxing can be very deceptive -- for example, it looked like Hoya was battering Mayweather against the ropes to a lot of people, but the more sensible people could see that Mayweather was rolling with shots, or covering up using his forearm/elbow/gloves to take the sting off the majority of them. The only time I saw Hamed genuinely hurt was when he was in with Barrera, and his legs actually went for a second or two, and so he had to actually grab the ropes to stay up. Mostly he seemed to have a good chin, though.
