Hopefully grey not so old is here I ask the bulk of my questions at boxing scene but I save the important ones for you grey!
If you notice Justin naturally punches from the hips without pivoting his foot, freddie has to say the pivot on the back etc before justine decides to actualy pivot on the foot as part of the demo, but you can see he has trained and naturally doesnt want to pivot on the foot or move the leg much at all.
I watch julian jackson and he is exactly the same very little pivoting on the foot when he punches it more directly comes from the hips without much leg or foot movement.
Rocky Marciano on the other hand gets alot more foot pivot, leg pivot, and leg drive into his punches.
But more often than not it seems most boxers neglect pivoting their feet and legs fully and properly.
Which is better for power and why? Pivoting the foot or not pivoting the foot that much and firing from the hips more directly almost like a traditional martial artist?
Why do they do it differently?
(I personally find it more powerful to pivot from the foot because you get more weight tarnsferred ie your heavy leg is added to the rotation of your body, and you get better drive from the legs since they are in the right position to function optimally) But more often than not I dont see the pros pivot their feet or legs much not even the power punchers who dont hold back on a full power punch that has full range of motion. Why the hell is that?
