Reason why it looks like US fighters hit harder than any other fighters!

[Dick-Sucker]

You can clarify this with any broadcasting service.

HBO, Showtime, have ringside audio recievers. Well advanced. What im basically saying is the audio systems are top of the range so they get close to the punches and it sounds loud to the viewers.

In Australia and im sure Britain aswell, the audio system is right next to the commentators and further away than it is in the US. Meaning the punches can barely be heard and sound weaker.

Hearing a punch close up gives the effect of massive power.

Its not rocket science. But its a brief explanation!

they have a boom mic hovering above the ring outside of view.

and if there is anyone out there thinking that US fighters hit harder because you can hear the punches, then you sir/mam are a ****ing moron.

You are very wrong.. you can tell when a punch is hard simply by the way one throws it.
Better broadcasting doesn't add effect to it.. and all cameras have a microphone attached to the top.. so the ish about the audio system being right next to the commentators is false.

Bull****. Look at Taylor vs Pavlik. While Pavlik is a big puncher. His punches sound louder than HW's. Sure many people will think he punches harder than HW's lol. But the truth of the matter is the audio devices. As 2501 pointed out with the boom mic.

Don't fall for it! Unless everyone has a boom mic, don't judge there power from noise.

HBO is pretty much the most well known production in Boxing. I've seen boom mics lowered above the ring to capture audio.

I'm just saying that you have to be an idiot to believe boxers who fight on HBO (usually americans) punch harder than Euros just because you can hear the punch. A lot of the production is different in other countries like in Germany.

I was there for the Pavlik v. Taylor II fight live and I didn't see any boom mic..

What the hell, punches are punches no "country" hits harder than another. "Fighters" do though.

I do not need to hear the sound of the punch to tell that Kelly Pavlik hits pretty f'n hard but it certainly helps.
