The psychology of making noises when punching

[Slyboots]

Glen Johnson has the scariest sounding grunts when he throws punches.

Does it really help a fighter's vigor, punch power and will to make manly noises when punching? I'm talking about the Wimbledon Tennis debate where it was considered unethical for players to grunt during match performances. Now that's not much a problem when hardly anyone can hear a Boxers' grunt during a bout but I still question its effectiveness at all. Do you make manly noises?

Relieves tension.

I grunt when I hit my ***ing awesome forehand on court even playing the wii.
It's kind of you grunting during sex. Seles and Sharapova should play all the time on clay. Throw ****okova in there as well. Soft **** it's all good.

Only Borg iceman doesn't make much noise.

Well i had the cance to see Edwin valero train for his fight with Antonio DeMarco, i used to train in a gym in monterrey and he prepared there for a couple of weeks before the fight.

And the guy screams full force with each punch hahaha he was really insane i mean i go " hu ha ho " when i throw my combinations but this guy scram with like crazy with each punch " HAAA HAAAAAA !!!"

Hhahahahaha but the guy could punch thats for sure

Glen Johson sometimes grunts when he fights; I like it and think it gives him an edge mentally...

Ricky Hattons noise is the funniest he just goes 'wa! wa! wa!'

it tenses your core/abs aswell, incase of a counter to the body

What this gentleman said.

[wizard king]

you obviously never boxed, the "noises" as you say is simply breathing, you do it to breathe, yes, you punch harder when giving you muscles oxygen

but the main purpose of it is upon expelling a sudden or high burst of energy, if you dont exhale, inhale, exhale, you will quickly burn out, get light headed

it grants you stamina

Yes what this man said everthing else mention in topic Is bs

Shawn Porter does it a lot
