To train power you lift medium weights at high speed. to train strength you lift heavy weights at low speed.

They are very different in terms of how you train them. Training strength alone will only give you some power increase, strength training as such isnt suitable for boxing where as power training is.

Not to be confused with power lifting which has nothing to do with it.
awesome info ghost! you dont happen to have any articles on this do ya?
