    Its the back foot enabling him to do it.

    I understand what you're Saying by elevating the back heel the weight then is distributed to the front foot, had the Back heel been flat he wouldn't have been able to properly press into the ground of the front foot?

    Scrap the technical trainer says to focus pressure on the heel if pressure is focused on the soles of the back foot rooting is lost. Do you mind explaining what he meant? When the weight is over the right side of the body he tells me the right heel should be flat.

    If the heel is slightly raised, no weight on it as such, your TFL is primed. Plus the reflex is primed, you have a 10th of a second to create force, athletic movement. where you need to be distance depth or direction. Whats changed things a lot was in the 80s, things changed. Leather soles went out, rubbers came in, hence foot mechanics altered.

    Foreman's right heel was planted before throwing the left hook!

    Because the bag wasnt moving, also the technique was terrible.
