Eubank said he could of had Hamed punching with "1.25 tonnes of pressure"!

[X]

Haha - good ol' Chris.

It is true to say he wasn'y massively naturally talented - the gym in the states where he first learned to box were astonished when he came over here and 'made it'. He succeeded through hard work and perspiration rather than his natural gifts, plus he always struggled to make weight.

But 'knowledge of martial arts', 'muscles stretched to the bone', 'philosophies of combat' - typical Chris twaddle, bless him.

The 1.25 tonnes fo presure is just maths (I think) - if you divide the force delivered by the surface area, you get the pressure. So, someone like Mike Tyson would divide the force of his punch by the area of his knuckles.

Logically then, even the tiniest force could deliver more pressure by being delivered through a smaller surface area (this is why pins pierce the skin, but pencils don't). I wouldn't bother getting onto the logic or the maths though, becasue don't forget this is Chris talking, so it will be psychobabble at best !!!!

are you saying that because hamed is smaller than average he necessarily hits harder? i dont understand you.

I think Voodoodude explained it better than I did?
