Not sure if this was posted already but here it is folks, the dream fight that everyone's been waiting for! Shout out to "Robert Gomez" on youtube for making it happen.
:lol1:
green k.
this old guy would know.
grandpa what fights were ray robinson a huge underdog in?
and tell us your reaction when you got the telegraph that pancho villa beat jimmy wilde.
lmao!
wachutalking about, l was born in the 90's lol.
He never turly wanted to fight a name just look at how he was mum recently until everyone was locked up, are we gonna continue to pretend he aint duck a mentally weak fighter n Devon, after phantom punch gate
What? you serious or trolling?
Did Thurman say, "as long as you have your 'O'"?
l like one time but l detect some sort of indoctrination there. Hope keith keeps his attitude towards fighting anyone and not let haymon mess up his boxing career.
He definitely doesnt sound right mentally. Its like his one foot is out of the door so to speak. I actually think he needs a long break from boxing he sounds worn/burned out. Or maybe retire. Well he see how looks against walters because a guy like walters is definitely the type of fighter that will ask the questions about whether nonito still wants to be in this sport.
Micah, is that you?
Great video.
Pacquaio's had an awesome career.
One thing you don't usually see is a fighter with Pacquaio's style have the longevity he's had.
I'm reading this thread with no intention of posting a comment then I saw your post and your avy. What happened, dan?
I'm an amateur boxer 4-0 and biomed student, I know exactly the answer of the question, I wanted to see what everyone else thought. Pshh ignorant people, what is the world coming too.
Oh we have a biomed student, 4-0 amateur who will show us the way to punching power. That's very good.
The most precise and descriptive essays on punching power ever written are on expertboxing.
Why weights wont make you punch harder Part 1 and 2
and
The 3 phases of punching power. (which is really part 3).
Whether you agree or disagree with the weight lifting aspect of these articles is irrelevant, THIS is exactly how punch power mechanics operate and fit in with overall boxing too.
I think everyone involved in the sport must read these articles.
F=ma has hardly any relevance to punching power whatsoever. A punch is a transfer of energy resulting from the sudden deceleration and hardening of the punch upon the target (an implosion) not like a throw at all.
I became curious with this so I checked it out and here's a summary I found.
"Explosive Punching:
throws your energy outwards away from your center
loosens and releases the punch
rotates your slower
pulls you off center, off balance
uses limb strength from the easily fatigued (explosive muscles)
slows your punch recovery because you feel like you have to keep pulling your arms back
makes you bounce off your opponent (if he’s better grounded than you are)
Implosive Punching:
throws your energy inwards into the ground, into the punch
compacts and solidifies the punch
rotates you faster
centers you for better balance
uses core strength from the more efficient (implosive muscles)
faster/easier punch recovery because the arm power is project inwards and easily bounced off your core
creates the best power transfer possible!"
See, the difference is one gets you slower while the other one gets you faster, that is, one decelerates while the other accelerates. You know what the implication of that in F=ma?
big bones in general, i.e. bone density
not trying to come across as a know it all, as i don't know this for certain
but Lucas and GGG's forearms are large for their weight class compared to other guys, if you're hitting somebody with good punching technique and there's more mass inside your arm than someone else with equal punching technique, then

Yes, Newton's 2nd law of motions, F=ma, where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration. This means that the greater the mass, the greater the force, also the greater acceleration, the greater the acceleration.
Question is mass of what? mass of the fighter's fist or mass of the fighter? No matter which, it will be constant unlike acceleration.
Maybe looking at acceleration will give us the answer but this is purely my own opinion. Acceleration can be increased or decreased. A jab has less acceleration than a power punch so a power punch has more force, so the real question is how to increase the acceleration?
A power punch is actually coming from the ground then travels through joints and muscles all the way to the fist, which will make contact. I mean try power punching someone while sitting down, it won't result into much force.
My idea is that all movements of the body muscles and joints coming from the ground all the way to the fist must be properly coordinated in order to come up with maximum acceleration, taking into account that your feet movement is independent of your arm movement so foot - arm coordination also plays a very important role.
Boxers' punches are measured through psi, which is pound per square inches, psi is actually a unit of pressure, the formula of which is P=F/A. Now, I don't want to trouble you further by explaining the pressure aspect of a punch lol.
LoL at this kind of remarks.
Tommy hearns was so feather fisted at amateur he only have 10 K.O from 180+ bout, when he turn pro manny steward train him so when he shot that right hand he put his entire arm lenght to it, i heard in one of Manny steward interview the key is Tommy hearns feets, i assume is in his footwork and positioning.
so yes you can train to become a power puncher.
Hey, my friend, the thing is that we cannot draw a conclusion based on one fighter.
One way to resolve this is to get two fighters with the same mass(that is weight in layman's term), say two 160 fighters A and B. Ask each of them to power punch a punching bag from the same distance, say, 60 centimeters. The fighter with the shorter time to hit the bag got more punching power.
Popular promoter Cedric Kushner dies of heart attack at 66
Music Promoter and fight Promoter Cedric Kushner is well remembered for his work with heavyweights. He specialized in heavyweight matches. He also did budget pay-per-view telecasts called “Heavyweight Explosion” and promoted an eight-man, one-night heavyweight tournament called “Fistful of Dollars” (won by Tony Thompson). He was the promoter of Hasim Rahman when Rahman won the heavyweight title in 2001 by knocking out Lennox Lewis in South Africa. However Rahman then abandoned Kushner and signed with rival promoter Don King.
RIP, cedric.....
Everyone uses "unnamed sources" in this day and age. All the NFL/NBA insiders, CNN, Fox, etc.
http://instagram.com/p/yYZfn6wYQO/?modal=true That does show Mayweather talking to them for more than a quick hello and Mayweather looking upset with Manny trying to calm him down.
Other people also heard Mayweather mention he wanted to get straight on the lies so that part isnt just coming from fighthype.
You think that article is not bias and that it is being factual as to what really transpired and that people must be convinced?
I'm hoping surprise SuperBowl announcement.
I think Golovkin's best bet is to move up.
Cotto ain't fighting him, neither is Floyd, these guys don't belong at MW.
Canelo might, maybe, but I doubt that aswell.
Seems like it will finally happen but l'm only 50% hoping, the other 50% doesn't care, life goes on.
Floyd doesn't belong at MW and cotto is an accidental(whatever that means) MW champ lol.
Canelo fighting golovkin is good for boxing.
l see GGG mixing it up with 168 fighters, he got no choice, maybe against Ward in a year or two. Chavez jr as an extra in the mix lol.
In different cirscumsstances, that's very possible. Manny got a lot of political acquaintances very similar to floyd in term of attitude and flamboyance.
But l would like to ask the OP what phone he's using. He type words like he's using an old nokia phone lol.
you mean kevin acting like a complete and pathetic groveling 40 year old virgin?
yes. i remember that.
For real, it was kev? ahahahaha?
Who were you before, bro?
Another positive indication pointing towards the mega fight.
I see someone orchestrating all these dramas towards the announcement of the fight on or before the deadline.
l wonder what the drama for tomorrow will be.
