seriously, i still can't believe this. how the fuck does this guy hit for 1800 psi? it just seems so surreal, I mean if this guy can hit 1800 psi how much can the average heavy weight boxer hit? how hard can tyson hit? how hard foreman can hit? etc....

i still find this very hard to believe...
I hit the one they had in the arcade in the mall and mine only registered 960.. Don't know if that accurate or if it is in PSI but I hold the arcade record.... Damn that is pretty hard..
i think it's 1800 lbs of force, which is around 400-450 psi..
enzo maccarinelli hits @ 7000 lbs of force according to this BBC article. enzo is a boxing cruiserweight (200lbs), which parallels ufc's light heavyweight division (205lbs) and the results speak for itself. if you were to take this test as fact (which has as much credibility as any of the crap shown on those tv specials), to even think that rampage compares to even an average puncher that is a true heavyweight is absurd.
"Scientists at Swansea University have discovered the instantaneous force of a champion boxer's punch equates to 3.5 tonnes."

don't look too deeply into this shit, results are always different. you got some shows with 150lbers hitting as hard as drago on their machines, complete rubbish.
besides, rampage is training with pro-boxer / former samuel peter KO victim, jeremy williams. and in his interviews he stated that he could only wish he could one day hit as hard as jeremy, even claiming that he felt like his mouthpiece would get knocked back into his throat whenever he would get hit by him in sparring. and williams, though a hard puncher for his size, was still a very undersized heavyweight, who again should have been fighting as a cruiserweight.
enough boxers have been tested to say 1800psi is a powerful punch and its not unbelievable that a heavy fighter can hit a stationary target with that much force, thats how i can say its believable.
where are these figures? please don't tell me catskills is your source!!
I'm sure its been said before. But I dont have time to read the whole thread. But he did not get full extension on his punch, lol. He should have extended his arm about a foot more in front of him and I guarantee it would have been harder. The impact of the punch was while his arm was almost at 180 degree's out to his side. From what I've learned and observed punches are their most powerful right before full extension. Full extension would not be good because your arm looses velocity.
how can you say its believable? the truth is not enough boxers have been tested to that number means nothing we don't know if 1800 is a punch only found in the best punchers or nothing but a jab!
i believe if they measured punch power they wouldn't measure it in psi they would measure it in ft/lbs or the metric equivelent

You have to factor alot of things into him being able to knock a person out. Like the vid showed he landed right on the jaw and or temple which cauesed the brain to rattle and knock him out. He has to land cleanly and if he does, you are out. I wonder what Julian Jackson would score on that.
Hey SkillspaydaWLAD
You owe me 4k for Sultan over Holy
Im not an MMA hater and in fact im a huge MMA fan but if Rampage hit as hard as people think he does which he doesnt going by the criteria used, he would be knocking people out at an alarming rate.
Liddell got knocked out because he didnt see the punch coming not because the punch was powerful.

I wrote this in another thread. Rampage hits about HALF of an average HW boxer.
This is a quote from another site. And I too have done some research on the measuring criteria.
it was total force, not force per area. 1800 lb from the whole fist with glove on. He has huge hands, must have been at least 5 sq inches in contact area, so 1800/5 = 360lb/in^2. Average HW' punch is 700 lb/in^2 so Ramage's punch is about half of an average HW boxer.
yup the TS messed up. this is 1800 lbs of force NOT 1800 psi. So basically that's 1800lbs hitting ur face. If it's 1800 psi, and his fist is say 5-6 square inches in area, then that's 90000 to 108000 lbs of force hitting ur face!!!
just kidding, that's only 9k to 10.8k lbs haha
In his fight with Chuck he hit him with that exact shot square on the jaw. We all know how that turned out.

1800 psi is believable for a heavyweight. theres alot of force behind a punch if ur jus standing there and hitting a stationary target as hard as u can. i dono if in a fight his punch will be that high, but on a stationary computer target, i could easily believe that...

This boxer used a regular right straight that was 1000 pounds of force. Just imagine what a powerful heavyweight would garner. That being said Rampage knocks people out with one shot, damn that is power.

you can have all the strength in the world but if you dont use it correctly, you dont get much out of it. remember, he had to have a boxer show him how to punch correctly.
