Who has the biggest blow in boxing?

Many of the veteran fans in boxing, who watched battles for decades, say that recently this sport has become more technical. The spectacularity of the competition has decreased somewhat, the fighters show off the ring outside the ring more actively than on it. Probably, such remarks are not without foundation. Nevertheless, serious boxing matches are still taking place, in which rivals show excellent sports equipment, strong will to win and a powerful onslaught. Demonstrating the most severe blow in the box, the athlete earns not only extra points, but also the hot adoration of the audience.

Among the most impressive moments of boxing, knockouts are always the first to come to mind. This is an indescribable sight, when the only successful blow cardinally changes the course of the battle. And that of the boxers who seemed an outsider, suddenly after an exact hit, he defeats the leader. In time, the strongest blow performed is capable of giving birth to champions. This is what attracts the audience, the public is hungry for such a spectacle and for the sake of it acquires costly tickets.

The most memorable battles are becoming legendary. They turn into a part of the history of boxing, prompting fans to revisit the record again and again.

In assessing the impact is important, and its suddenness, and the technique used, and the significance of the victory brought to them, and the power of the opponent. The physical strength invested in the strongest hand stroke in kg can be calculated in impressive numbers. For example, it is believed that the maximum strike force of 1900 psi (about 800 kg) was demonstrated at the peak of his form heavyweight boxer Ernie Shavers. A little less strong are the blows of George Foreman and Mike Tyson.

According to other boxing experts, in fact, the force of the famous boxers was never measured, only the knockout component was recorded. After all, in such measurements and meaning there is no special - jogging the strongest blow and sharp, characterized by equal force, will have different results. Measuring the strength of punches carried out by boxers, you can make different ratings. But you can not make unambiguous conclusions on them. Someone has the most powerful left side (as in David Tua), the other has the right straight (Lennox Lewis). But in general, in boxing is considered the most powerful hook with beating hands.

Classical ideas about boxing mean work with feet (footwork) and the body. The legs are half-bent, the hips are unfolded, the steps are performed on the toes, the strongest blow is performed on the jump. The lethal force is invested in the weight of the body and the speed of movement of the arms, legs, and fist. The importance also has coordination of movements (the ability to sharply connect the entire body, the skill of turning the body). To achieve maximum impact power it is required to stand tightly with the feet in the ring, pushing the body with the effort of the feet and putting the force into the hand.

In studies conducted to determine how the boxers inflict the hardest blow, it was found that the greatest physical effort could be applied from an unsupported position, when both legs do not touch the ring. The body is kept almost vertically, before the impact is performed, a powerful push is made by the feet into the air, but due to the swing, practically only the hand effort is invested. So the momentum of the movement is stronger.

In general, after tracking a number of fights completed by knockouts, the conclusion suggests that the impact force is, of course, important, but much more important is the technique of its application and accuracy.
