Actually, I think that the 2nd one of those things is the most important (and the most subtle). This video on when to power punch will give you 3 tips for being dynamic in your boxing and deciding when NOT to power punch.
Most novice boxers will try to power punch with every shot that they throw. This is really not a good place to be. The more seasoned boxer will be more considered about when to power punch. The primary reason for this is that constant power punching will tire you out really quickly.
So, the 3 tips that I outline in the video in respect of deciding when to power punch are:
1. Vary the power of your jab. This can help you control and estimate range, it can defuse your opponent, constantly tapping away with the jab and then choosing when to crack home a power jab. Or you can follow up those tap jabs with bigger hook bombs or back hand bombs. Check out Roberto Duran for an amazing reduced power jab.
2. Tap and Whack. This is all about using a reduced power 1st punch and then following it up with a crashing 2nd power punch. Ricky Hatton was superb at this, tapping a hook around the ribs of the opponent to bring back the guarding arm and then hammering home a power punch up the middle (or vice versa). This is about diversion, laying a decoy to punish the opponent.
3. The Lifter. Use a long (low power) uppercut to lift the head and then follow that up with a bomb straight back hand power punch, or a fight-ending hook. So this is about disrupting your opponent to set them up with the killer power punch. This one feels very Thomas 'Hit Man' Hearns to me, long, crisp uppercuts followed by doomsday right hands.
So, don't be tempted to load up all the time. Be dynamic, use these 3 tips to help you build the right ratio of power punches.

Lomachenko is a great example of using lighter punches to bait your opponent to counter and then he will ''counter the counter''.
Hi Fran, just downloaded the book. Your channel content is exceptional! God bless and thanks again!
Ah thank you, that;s really kind of you. I hope you get plenty from the book and any questions or whatever drop me an email, always do my very best to answer them👍
- jab to manage and control the opponent (duran)
- tap and whack - divert with a weaker shot to set up a power shot (e.g. 4b, 6)
- pop em (tommy hearns) to disorient and land the second shot
Great advice Fran, I was just instructing a fighter on this very thing last night, plus with my own workouts on the heavy bag, I just can't throw every shot hard as it just fries the backs of my shoulders, thanks for the reminder coach, regards from down Under!🙏
That's it Duncan, management of energy and maintenance of good technique 👍
Glad your going into the strategic aspect as most just think it's just a purely physical art

Just remember sometimes you gotta get the fight dirty by losing your style intentionally. What makes some criminals dangerous? They are double faced, they have two personalities, the mask, and the criminal. That's why you have to have a lot of boxing styles. Just my two cents.
....except in a street fight. (you have to unlearn your boxing, don't bother with a jab)
True, but not unlearn, you hace to use footwork and guard too, tho. A good powerpunch with proper form does a lot of damage, more than one thrown without technique, thats for sure.
To Mr Thorn: I saw so many street fights ending after one of the fighters got some 4_5 good jabs straight into his face. Not all of the brawlers know what is to face a bit more technical opponent.
Gonna have to disagree with this. You won’t have enough time to do much in street fights, as they usually last a minute or two max. An accurate one-two or one-two-three will put an average person down.
