Where is Santa Cruz's much talked about but unseen power?

He's never been a hard puncher. He overwhelms with activity and wears fighters down. His shots hurt, obviously, but he's not a puncher.

I don't see the power either. I didn't really hear the commentators, it was just my own observation. In my head I was like damn this guy is f-cked when he steps up, he has no damn power and he's just a high volume guy. I don't see him being much of a problem for Rigondeaux. I can't say anything about Frampton cause I never seen him fight but if Frampton got decent defense and respectable pop and some footwork, he should decision Santa Cruz.
I don't know about that nickname, El Terremoto, he's more like those little harmless whirlpools I see in my bathtub after I am done bathing. I thought he would stop Mijares.

Not sure I've ever heard anyone claim he has power all you have to do is watch his fights to see he is the poster child for punchers are born not made.

Of course Timothy Bradley and Floyd Mayweather Jr came to mind, they're toned, ripped, and look like they can KO anyone around their size but they are also weak punchers. Then thought well, Bradley is a vegan, and Floyd is small at only 150lbs, if he fights other 150lb boxers he'd probably have a higher KO ratio.
I can't really put a finger on it, but I don't think puncher's are born. I think it has a lot to do with muscle development.

For the first time in my life, I felt frustrated watching a guy that landed nearly 400 punches. Mijares showed little to no effect and just stood there taking punch after punch. It was like holy ****, did they put mini pillows in LSC gloves?
