The Art of volume punching

If volume punching is an art than Sam Soliman is jackson pollack.

 

Marcos Maidana is a volume puncher but he is severely inaccurate with his punches. If you don't place those punches you are just wasting energy.

You're constantly wearing down your opponents. It also opens up plenty of oppurtunities.

Other than those already mentioned, a huge benefit is the optics that readily develop i.e. you're out-throwing them, they are 'running', counters are swiftly 'answered' (even if they are ineffective) and the volume puncher is simply trying harder to make the fight and 'deserves the nod'.
I'm not suggesting this is all just when deciding who won but even being a feather-fisted, inaccurate volume guy has a lot of benefits.

As with anything, it should be a tool in your kit - something you have both the drilled home gym repetition and stamina to do when needed in a crunch - but not one you lean on too heavily and become reliant on (to your other skills' detriment). Get too complacent focusing on volume and your accuracy will suffer, and you may forget when's appropriate (or even how) to "sit down" on punches.

Guys who base their whole style on attempting to break Compubox records, tend not to be the completest or most well-rounded fighters.

 

Guys, where's Henry Armstrong? He's the king of volume punching!

 

You outland your opponent

 

Maidana's accuracy wasn't that bad, he's almost always given a good account for himself, getting a little unstuck mid career against outboxers who can avoid his fairly slow closing ability with a little footwork (Alexander caught the worst Maidana and clinched him to death), Khan did enough damage and gained enough of an early lead to survive, right in the prime of his life to survive Maidana's onslaught.

He was extremely unique in that he could maintain a high output whilst having power, thudding type power also.

To have accuracy, power and output at a high level is rare and near impossible. Beauty of high output is you don't need a high accuracy. Just a case of whether you can maintain the pace.

After he blew his load against Floyd he went back to outboxing and still had some decent success, using his own pull counters and outjabbing Floyd! Which is quite a physical feat.

Floyd probably underestimated both Maidana's output and how shot his legs had become, but as always pulled bs advantages which proved pivotal to him edging a win. Had Maidana had his own gloves that 1st fight would have been a savaging upset.

 

Volume punchers don’t give an opponent large windows of opportunity to set to throw a lot back because of the constant offensive. Some fighters who are known throughout boxing history for being volume punchers were guys like Greb, Armstrong, Paul Williams, Calzaghe, Ibeabuchi, Margarito, Marciano,Pac, Pryor etc to name a few.

The benefits are out pointing your opponent, breaking them down physically and mentally, and or getting a stoppage from the accumulative affects.
