Sorry,but I cant stand when trainers say"Dont worry about power"!!

I hit so hard I just looked at the guy and knocked him out.

 

Speed, Timing and Accuracy are all more important than power in my opinion. Thats something I need to work on, I have a good deal of power in my right arm but not as much in left.(My right bicep is quite big but I barely have any muscle on my left, I need to start lifting weights with my left arm or stop wanking as much lol).

I can land my left often enough and when I throw a snapping punch with my right I can land it too but I have a tendency to load up with my right every time I throw it and It either gets blocked or countered, So I really need to work on that.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

But seriously. If you're asking this question you haven't fought yet. Just saying. And if the coach is having to say that to you, it means you're relying on power at the expense of the rest of your game.

Someday you'll run into a guy who you can't knock out and who won't get discouraged by your he-man punches. He'll tear you apart and make you look like a ******ed ogre.

You can construct a style that takes advantage of your power, but you do need to work on every other aspect of your game: footwork to set up the big shot, defense/counters to walk your opponent into something bad, speed so that you can actually land these powershots, and just all around boxing ability.

Mike Tyson is a quintessential power fighter, but he was also extraordinarily fast and had good defense and footwork and strategy. You sound more like a Kimbo Slice.

 

We judge by avatars :rofl . On a serious note, this is the internet my friend and one thing you never do it praise yourself. The impression we all got is that your pissed at your coach and you think your better than him so you started goin solo. OT, They are right when they say don't worry about power. Get speed and technique and power comes in with the whole package

 

so on ESB we have one of the fastest hw's certain pro's have ever seen now we have the hardest hitter since earnie shavers according to this lads sparring partners, i love this place puts your accomplishments in line jeffro :good

 

btw thread starter usually when a coach says dont worry about power means your telegraphing and loading up

 

i arranged it, you had a spelling mistake

 

i arranged it, you had a spelling mistake

 

:rofl good one

 

so you say youre naturally strong?? well good for ****ing you mate! listen to your coach.do you work with pros hey? notice they dont need to throw themselves into their target to knock your block off?. it comes from years of good ingrained technique

 

If you go in trying to knock guys out, you will probably get knocked out yourself

 

Excellent post, You've summed everything up perfectly.

 

Yes i did, you're just being the quintessential meathead right now.
