Strong legs are key to viscous punching power, try this exercise to strengthen the posterior chain and watch your punching power improve behind solid technique.

I find that many fighters forsake a lot of unused power in the hook by using poor technique of course. They often tense up and arm punch more so as they fatigue. Before too long this becomes a permanent habit and one hard to break.

Fighters that throw the hook this way leave behind untapped punching power. The power comes from the ground up and three of the biggest mistakes I see fighters make is 1. They don’t pivot their foot when throwing the hook, 2. They don’t pull/rotate back the right shoulder when throwing the left hook, and 3. They fail to turn the hook over.

Check your left hook, is it really as good as it can be? Technique today is watered down and sloppy in a lot of fighters. I hope you aren’t one of them and if you are, I highly suggest you get in front of a mirror and break down the left hook by practicing the above movements that make or break it.

Eddie Chambers proved that last weekend. He went to Germany weighting 208lbs and dominated the physically bigger fighter in Alexander Dimitrenko.

Alexander is 6’6 and came in at 253lbs. yet Eddie owned the ring. He was the faster, more skillful fighter that night. He was strong enough to drop Alexander several times as well.

All this while weighing 208lbs. and standing 6’1. Skill rules in the ring. The ability to use your smarts with hat skill allows a fighter to dominate when they appear to be out gunned on paper.

There’s far more to boxing than the gifts of physical size and strength. Watch Eddie’s performance again on youtube.com and see for yourself.

That was a boxing lesson and that was the sweet science being displayed. Great to see that some heavyweights still know how to display it.
