How did it have any power without proper bone alignment?

Was it a mistake or is this an advanced pro punch?



I have a much better slo mo gif from a better angle but I cant upload it, this is next best, it looks like a straight right at fast speed but I assure you his arm is bent quite a bit at the elbow and he strikes with the bottom of his fist
It looked like a very hard shot to me...

It had oodles of snap. Like the crack of a whip.

In practice very few KO shots are technically perfect. Only in the gym.

Also seemed to catch him in a good spot, turned his head right around.

Night night Roberto!
Good heavens, I agreed with Max. @OMGWTF look at where the weight is when Tommy lands that punch. that is your 'rear hook' or right cross or overhand right. Elbow down at the start, bring it over the top. That is exactly what you are supposed to do.
