Answer 1

Developing power is one of the most difficult things to do. However, in theory it is quite simple. To get optimum power on your punches, you need to concentrate on moving the most mass that you can at maximum speed. Speed is a very important component of power. Think about it. If someone hits you with a baseball bat really slowly, it doesn't hurt at all. It's when they put some speed behind the force that creates power. However, someone can hit you with a feather as fast as they want and it won't hurt, because there's no mass. So to generate maximum power you need to develop strength. You need a good general strength as well as sport specific strength. Once you are strong, you need to work on getting this strength to transfer into the punch. This means pivoting your weight properly so that you really get your mass behind each punch. You don't punch with your arms, they are just the vehicle that delivers the power that comes from your legs, hips, and shoulders. Lastly, in order to have that coveted 'knock out' punch, you need to deliver the punch with proper weight transfer and at maximum speed.
Punches in general? I could write you a book. I'm skipping this part cuz I don't have time, but post a more specific question and I'll answer it.
To last more rounds you need to develop endurance, both aerobic and anaerobic. Boxing is about 70% aerobic and 30% anaerobic. So firstly, you need to build an aerobic base. This comes from long runs and skipping and bag work. Anaerobic conditioning is very important as well because it mimics the stop and go action of boxing. Interval training on bad, in skipping and running and sprinting will help develop your anaerobic endurance. But my coach always says "There's only one thing that can get you in shape for fighting, and that's fighting.", so get in the ring and put in sparring rounds. Aim for double the amount you will fight (as an amatuer I'm assuming since you're new).
You want to be able to take a beating? You should be trying to not take a beating. Using your package, moving your head, making range, using sound defence. But you asked for it, so, if you want to be able to withstand a beating you need to condition your body. Really strenghten your core so you can handle body shots. Have someone throw a medicine ball at your stomach and do a lot of situps, and all different kinds too. Strengthen your neck so that your head doesn't pop back when you get hit. Perform neck exercises with resistance. Good luck!

Answer 2

If right handed, have the correct boxing stance. Legs shoulder length apart. Left a step ahead of right. Use your body for the power. Put your whole body into the punch. If throwing a left hook, your body should rotate with the punch. Your left foot should turn slightly letting the body follow through. If throwing a right cross, your right foot should pivot a little while body is turning and following the punch.

Answer 3

The most powerful punches start at your back foot. The power travels and builds all the way up your body and into your fist. Learn and practice this technique until you are lightning fast and can perform it with both your jab and your power punch. If your fighting without gloves I've always been a big fan of Bruce lee's snap punch.

You want to last more rounds? You have to punish yourself with an ungodly amount of cardio. You want your body to be tougher? You have to do an ungodly amount of crunches and have your sparring partner punish your body on a daily basis.

Answer 4

When punching, focus on hitting something a few inches behind the actual target. Throw your body weight into the punch. Spar often to build up endurance.

Answer 5

the power of a punch starts at the ground and moves up... you need to be able to pivot on the foot, rotate the hips, use the power of the lats and follow through, and most importantly, if you want a knock out, you have to be able to land that punch on the button. a powerful punch will rock someone but it needs to hit a 'night night' spot or it is only gonna rock 'em. If it lands on a button, it doesnt have to be hard, just exact.

Answer 6

to throw a more powerful punch put your body weight into the punch to last more rounds do stamina exercises and to become tougher use a sparring partner

Answer 7

Put your weight behind the punch, twist your wrist when throwing the punch and aim through the target.

Answer 8

Punching comes from the heart , you can learn to hit a Little harder by opening up your hips and pivoting on your toes.
Go to www.titleboing.com they have tapes on sale for 5 bucks (VHS),,,only buy the ones w/ Freddy Roach from wild card boxing gym in L.A they show you how to punch right ..... But for learning how to K.O. somebody know one can teach you that either or can or you cant

Answer 9

during your swing, relax your arm and hand as much as possible, just before the moment of contact flex. this increases the speed, force and accuracy of your swing.
Try this I bet you will notice a difference, also it doesn't stress your shoulder or arm nearly as much if you miss.

Answer 10

Bench press
this is important for punching
For endurance, run, do lots of aerobic and weight training.
