>When you lean forward you take away all your power.
Are you sure? https://youtu.be/lSiWRBT-P20?t=890 it doesn't look like all the power was lost on this one, quite the opposite
Are you kidding? All the weight was loaded on the left foot, and he struck with the right hand. He basically proved me right.
1) He's leaning forward, proving you wrong, since his punch is obviously powerful enough knock down his adversary
2) His lead leg is stopping him from falling off balance on his right hook, the lead leg is stabilizing him, the power of the punch comes from his rotating upper body/arm
Which contradicts quite a bit your previous statements
I'm just stating the facts here
You're blind. Opposite leg provides power for the punch. I'd demonstrate physically, but you can try it on a heavy bag yourself.
Try throwing a right cross powered by your right foot, it doesn't work, it's weak.
On the right hook exactly here https://youtu.be/lSiWRBT-P20?t=894 the lead leg acts as support of the whole body, it's not pushing the body forward, it's not adding blunt force to the punch
When you support something do you fall with it? Think man, think.
You contract the left side with your elbow, lean on the left leg and hit with the right.
So he's leaning forward
Nope, rotating on the center.
Spin a quarter, it keeps spinning as long as it's on its center, once it wobbles all the energy dissipates. Same thing with striking, keep to the center or you lose all your energy.
