Don't get me wrong, the boxer's punch is formulated to knock a guy out and there's plenty of footage to back that up. The thing is that there are a lot of WT students who don't care about how they throw a punch, they just want to look like Emin and throw 1 million/sec and it ends up looking like a slapfest rather than a chain of serious damaging punches. Those punches wouldn't hurt a fly, but one fully extended WT punch has enough power that it needs. It may not knock out a tougher guy in a single hit like one of tyson's hits, but it's not trying to either. |
This is what you stated: "one fully extended WT punch..." That is why I made reference to the "one punch." If the "one punch" isn't trying to knock the guy out, then what is it's purpose? I understand that most arts wouldn't throw just one hit and that most fights don't end in one hit either. Jabs are used to set up and judge distance; however, there is a "powe" straight jab that can take a person off of their feet if executed correctly. I was just trying to figure out the point you were making in that statement.
