how to punch correctly

That twisting is important...thats where a lot of the power comes from

To be more precise, that is where a lot of the power is transfered. The power comes from the legs and hips, twisting the hand transfers that power.

The topic starter claimed to have anamateur record of 17 - 0 with 17 KOs, and that most people on this forum are "5'5 200 pound computer nerds". So why would a super heavyweight monster (6'5", 280 lbs and 4% body fat were the figures I remember) want tips from a bunch of weaklings like us?

twist those ankles

If you want to put weight into a punch you gotta twist them ankles. No i dont mean go out and do your road work in your mamma's high heels just incase your'e kinky like that.

Have your heels off the ground (1inch is fine as long as they're not touching the floor) and twist your body round on your toes. By doing that you're transferring weight from side of your body to the other.

if your punching with the right hand, right foot in back, you can pull your left shoulder back as your right one comes forward, and with your left hand almost imagine ur holding a lever or a handle to help you pull(keep it near your chin, unless you just want to practice the concept to understand the pull and push relationship)
also kind of push off on the back foot off your toes, and slightly drop your weight down. when throwing hooks, pivot the foot that is throwing the punch like your squashing a bug or something. make sure the hips pivot too
