How to train a knockout punch?

You can knock your opponent down with a strong blow, but in order for him to be unable to continue the fight at all after a missed cross or straight shot, you need to deal him a knockout blow. How to train a knockout punch? – this small article, but full of boxing tricks and secrets, will tell you about this...

The peculiarity of a knockout blow is that it is delivered extremely sharply, and the weight of your entire body is invested in it. This technique can be trained over the course of several weeks by performing several special exercises.

Inaccuracy of the impact will reduce its effectiveness, therefore, to develop the accuracy of hand movements and coordination, it is recommended to perform a simple exercise with a tennis ball - throw it at the wall and catch it with one hand.
