    I am literally exhausted by ignorance. Every day... I just want to cry...

    or shut the ignorant people up. That'd be more... satisfying.

    Don't be giving advice when you don't know what you're talking about. And don't tell people things they already know.

    ? give the man a chance! sure there mite not be anything new there but it all works lay off! Osu

    PLYOMETRICS=SPEED AND STRENGTH or good punch
    also relax when hitting, being tense restricts movment and so less power
    Surface area= try hitting directly with first 2 knuckles
    Kiai- shout from within i dont now how it works but it does Osu

    So the article says boxers lack technique, then fails to give any hints at technique and gives us a training methodology taken from...boxing.

    LOL

    no matter how many times you take it out back and shoot it, it just comes limping back for more...

    This thread is funny :D .

    Us big people are soooo sloooow. It's terrible. All us bulky people like Mirko Cro Cop and Fedor Emiliankov... so sloooooow :cry: :cry: :cry: .

    If I weigh more, and have an equal bf% as my opponent, I'm going to win. Unless the skill difference is ENORMOUS, I'm gonna pound him into the freakin' ground, no matter how "hard" his punches are.

    Fast light punches do ****. Fast HARD punches hurt like ****.

    If I can knock you over by whistling too hard, it doesn't matter how "fast" you are.

    "I use my speed" is the trademark excuse of the super-skinny who refuses to bulk... sigh.

    I hope this thread lasts forever... s'good entertainment at 5 in the morning :D .

    What a great thread. Personally (and i may be wrong ofcourse) I think practice makes perfect. There is no sure way to become a bigger hitter over night. I believe that weight training is important for all weight categories. But no amount of weight training will make you a better boxer, you need to box to do that. And the reason boxing gyms have heavy bags AND speed balls, is because you need to train with both to become a good all round boxer. Besides, you cannot throw each punch with maximum power, or you will be knackered after 2 minutes. Footwork, speed, agility, and the ability to hit hard when needed. I think :) .

    Cheers,

    Jon.
