I was going to ask y'all all about this but since you've alluded to it, minus well piggy back on this....when it comes to punching power, are fighters "born" with that or is it something that can be added via technique and mechanics?

I ask because when I listened to RJJ commentate the JMM-Pac fight, he mentioned weightlifting helping him in his knockdown and knockout of Pac man when he was never able to KD him in their 3 previous fights. The KD and KO punches were punches he was landing in the first 3 fights but it didn't floor him.
You can go from not being able to move a heavybag to being able to kill someone w your punches if your mechanics are right bro. Good stance, full hip rotation, folloW through, weight transfer and shoot that hand straight and you should be good. Don't forget turning your hand over last second, which will maximize your force.

Hearns dimensions automatically make him candidates for one of the hardest punchers ever, just based off geometry. Add in he could already box, and had Manny in his corner.
The guy was able to carry his KO power all the way up to cruiserweight
Was the only guy to straight up KO Duran (Joppy was a TKO hearns knocked him out cold)
And Sugar Ray said he had the fastest hands (thought he would say terry norris or camacho). He referred to his lead off right.
shyt man something wrong with that guy. :gucci:

Brehs........... I was a fan of bradley from the Kendall **** fight but this one showed me how insane his willpower and heart is. Took this fight off a 10 month layoff.
After watching this again I now realize that I wanna see a fight between him and shawn porter :wow:

lol it was fun watching ruslan play patty cake with Bradley consciousness.lol

but he could have easily outboxed him and moved....but he had to prove he was macho man. at least he did try to give the fans an exciting fight. though.

always wondered why they never ran it back....something happened. I forgot.
