do you need power to ko a opponent?

[Cerberus]

By no means am i any kind of expert, but what I have been reading says (quite categorically) that skill is more important than strength. As stated above, the momentum generated by you transferring your weight is enough to knock someone out. so in short - I believe NOT, you do not need power to knock someone out, only technique.

Have a look around the free e-books - I am reading Jack Dempsy book at the mo and he explains it very well...

feints make it alot easier to land unseen punches

accuracy is pretty important too.

I've bounced plenty of hard shots to the side of peoples heads without much effect, but i accidentally knocked a sparring partner out with a relatively weak shot that accidentally landed pinpoint on his chin. I was as surprised as he was.

He was also coming foward at the time which andre also pointed out as important. Bruce lee also wrote that catching someone on the way in could almost double the impact like two cars crashing head on.

That is also mentioned in JD's book, the whole two bodies colliding head on generates double the force.
