What's so Scientific about the "Sweet Science"?

[Bombs]

Please these fighters most of them didn't even go to school and now they have them talking about technique and sweet science lol. Look at floyd lol he is dumb as rocks.. he does know how to MOVE, good reflex but he doesn't know sheet about science lol. He is going to jail this summer that's how much of a scientist he is lol.

What scientific methods are they if you don't mind me asking?

How about physics -- the transfer of kinetic energy from your legs to the end of your punch.

[Russian Crushin]

Of course I understand. But I'm sure there is explanation to more than just numbers/formulas. If you get what I'm saying.

Thanks for the vid by the way but it really just who's faster.

THere is so much physics in simply throwing a punch that its hard to explain

[4Corners]

Well you must not understand that anything can be explained through mathematics, and physics

Heres some

I walked up on Rattlesnake at the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction, CO. Scared me s**tless. I was about 10 feet away from it, but it was enough for me to get the f**k out of there. They're scary as hell.

Yea I can see what you're saying.

Know anything about how the cells in your body react? During training or fighting?
What about genetics and boxers?

What scientific methods are they if you don't mind me asking?

Training the body, no matter how you do it, is scientific. Practicing combinations, hitting a body bag, lifting weights, long distance running, every single bit of it is scientific in nature, proven to work through repetition and research.

How to throw a punch, how hard you throw, the accuracy behind the punch, positioning, anticipating a punch, every single bit of it is scientific.

Honestly, everything in life can be reduced to science.

There isnt any science. But it is analytical and strategic, which is why its compared to a chess match so often and why they even have some kind of combination boxing/chess game.

But sweet science sounds a lot cooler than sweet strategic sport.

Youre taking it too literal bro. Its pretty obvious why they call it sweet science as I explained above.

Boxing originally came from fencing. And fencing has a lot of principles about timing and distance that can be considered scientific.

This video should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

It's a bit of a misnomer these days when other combat arts, jiu jitsu for example, are far more of a chess match. Speed, stamina, power and chin will overcome skill in boxing more times than not. Boxing is, however, more scientific than the other grandparent of combat sports, wrestling.
