Which uppercut was the better punch?

[AKATheMack]

The first one had way more on it, if Vitali was Holyfields height he would have been out cold.

VK. I don't particularly remember the Holy uppercut, but the VK one stands out as 1 of the nastiest punches I ever seen.

[STEELHEAD]

Two very good uppercuts, both seemed like they would have put any other fighter down.

Which uppercut was more brutal?

if youre talking about enjoyabley brutal then the klitmoe one!.

Watch Lewis and not the fighter he lands it on. In the first clip he puts more of his weight behind it, in the 2nd it's more of an arm punch. Both are good and still powerful regardless. Also, they clearly stunned/hurt Klitchko and Holyfield but the first had more force behind it. I'm amazed neither of them went straight down from them though.

wow. an old bozo thread.
you got me.

Two very good uppercuts, both seemed like they would have put any other fighter down.

Which uppercut was more brutal?

Not sure. Both seem very hard.

Some factors/questions I'm considering:

Lewis looked tired early on against Vitali and by the time Lewis landed that punch, how much power did he have left?
Maybe he was getting his second wind which would go along with Lewis starting to come on strong and his view that he would have finished Vitali in the coming rounds. Not sure.

And then what about when he landed the shot on Holyfield; how did he look as far as energy?

Where does Lewis's uppercut peak for power?
By the time he reaches his chest level, chin level, eye level, top of his head?

Balance: how were the feet when he planted down to unleash the uppercut?


Lots of things I'm trying to consider.

Either way, both are sick shots.

I'll say the one Holyfield took. Looks like it landed on the jaw or chin area. Its hard to tell exactly where Vitali was hit but it doesn't look like the chin area.

From what im seeing, Holyfield took the more solid shot. Lewis really ripped that one, the one he landed on Vitaly was more of an arm punch in my opinion.

In both of those Lennox seemed to throw the uppercut on raw armstrength rather than technique. The power from uppercuts are supposed to come from your legs and hip rotation but looked like lennox jus threw an armpunch and got lucky he was really strong.

You had me scared for a moment, I thought that f.ucker Boozo is back.
