    Yikes lots of equations here lol. I'll throw another one at you that I learned in grade 9. It takes double the energy to move something twice as big just as fast. It takes triple the energy to move something the same size twice as fast. Hence, greater speed=greater power because of greater kinetic energy. Anyhow, I dont really care, you either hit hard or you dont. You can improve it a bit but skills are where its at.

    Hello, once again!
    just coming with a report of how my latest bout turned to be with those 10kgs off.
    Definitely outclassed the man, as far as i felt, i hit as hard as i did before, had better responses and could move more. I could land punches much more effectively than ever did before.

    Boxing is not about who punches hardest, but about how can land the hardest punch.

    Your heavy punches are of no use when you're too slow to land them consistently. Speed is MUCH more important in boxing, especially in amateur boxing.
