Check out the January 2005 Muscle & Fitness. On page 52 is a short article titled "FIGHTING FIT: RING READY ARMS".
It basically says forget the curls and do:
1. Multijoint pushing & pulling excersises.
2. Low reps and explosive movements.
3. circuit style 'supersets' that mimic the 3 minute round & minute rest.
(pick 2-3 exercises and go from one straight to the next for 3 minutes)
And for my 2 cents, punching power comes from hip and shoulder rotation. The faster you can rotate and get your body weight behind the punch the more powerfull the punch. Doing lot's of heavy curls are not going to help your punching power. As well as lots of cardio, bag work, and full body workouts you want to devlop strength in your chest & triceps.
