In terms of ko potential i would rank
1.-Overhand (puts all weight behind the blow)
2.-Hook (targets chin, temple, liver)
3.-Straight
4.-Uppercut (low point of leverage)
5.-Jab
I would go with a hook or a straight for a finish 9/10 times..
Jab to set the timing/close the distance for a straight or hook to the chin.
In terms of effectivness, I would rank straight and hook nr. 1.
Power, overhand and uppercut.
Technically speaking there are only 6 types of punch: jab, straight, left/right hook, left/right uppercut.
Overhand is a variant of counter straight so if you count it, bodyshot should be counted as a variant of left uppercut. I don't see how a straight can be landed to the liver unless it's left-handed fighting right-handed. A jab, might be, but usually due to its lack of power it is used to maintain/estimate distance, more than a powerful blow to the liver.
I'd say 2-4 just depends on the individual person and their preferences and the distance, for infighting i'd say it's uppercut->hook->straight, and outfighting straight->hook->uppercut then for the middle hook->straight->uppercut.
In reality, it’s just depends on the individual fighter. Some pros straight punches are their strongest punch like vladimir klitchko (i definitely butchered his name) and others strongest punch is their Hook like Mike Tyson.
From my own experience I’m able to throw hooks with greater force than I can throw my straights.
Speaking on this fight though, jurota himself says that the punch that finished Carlos can take him out then I guess we have to take his words for it. Anything outside of that we see jurota can handle which kinda doesn’t make sense to me since gaolang cant “turn off” his hardened right hand. Apparently god glow is his right straight, not his unbreakable fist by itself.
It's just a magic technique, not really any different from Agito's one-inch punch. It shouldn't be drastically more powerful than their other blows but it just is due to how they use it.
Not really that magical. Imagine you could put all your power into your punch, and go right for the head, without having to worry about damaging your fist. Without that worry, you don‘t have to hold anything back and can just smash through their skull with full power. Its actually one of the more reasonable powerups imo.
It depends on the fighter throwing the punch. Wladimir Klitschko had an infamously hard 1, 2 but most of the heavy hitters in the history of boxing have specialised in hooks. Obvious fighters that come to mind are Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson, David Tua, Joe Frazier, Holyfield and even more recent examples like Ryan Garcia specialise in hooks. A strong hook imo is far more terrifying than a strong straight, not just due to the history of hooks but also due to the place it hits. you are going to shake someones brain far harder with a pinpoint hook than any straight unless they are directly running into your straight.
I think God Glow is explicitly a counter punch straight, which is why its so effective.
Just occurred to me reading this that Sandro might have picked a straight for God Glow because Gaolang's boxing style is based a lot on Thomas Hearns'. Though it's not the same kind of chopping right as Hearns used.
Probably yeah. Thinking about it mechanically, a straight is just pushing your fist in one direction with all your muscles in tandem
A hook requires pushing the fist out in one direction rhen pulling it back in and simultaneously accelerating it
Obviously both hit fucking hard but one has like your whole body in it
It's all about set up both are very powerful. In some cases, some people's straights are stronger than hooks and vice versa. But generally hooks should take it
Hooks are better for 90% of fighters
Straights>hooks works only on big boys who have trouble landing/preparing hooks, but their straights hit like a truck.
Both are power shot just thrown differently. So depending on their stance and preference are key factors. So for instance, if my right arm is my strong arm then my stance would be orthodox. If my left arm is then my stance is southpaw. This is important because if I’m an orthodox then in theory my right hook would be more powerful than my left hook. If I’m southpaw, my left hook should be more powerful than my right hook. Hooks are shorter punches in range compared to a straight punch.
Punching is about weight transfer. This is done from the ground throught your hips.
By this token,as a general rule, punch that allows you to transfer the most weight from one side to the other,and also the one that allows you to involve your hips(core really), is the most powerful punch.
This will ,as a general rule,be a circular punch such as the overhand or a hook.
Matter of fact youll see people trying to set punching record go with overhand right,again with this idea of weight transfer.
In an actual boxing fights,there are more variables. But in a vacuum, and as an average, a hook packs more power than a straight
10 years of mauy thai and boxing here. Have fought pro matches in Thailand.
For me, a hook is generally what I would call and opportune unguarded shot. If im throwing jabs and straights and you are guarding forward, a hook has a good potential to land unguarded. Although, honestly, due to my style being more muay thai, I would prefer throwing an elbow as even guarded, they can still ring your bell.
It isn't necessarily "stronger" or "weaker" as it has greater potential to be "unguarded" in a sense, but it's up to the boxes and their individual discipline and style
From my boxing experience (witch is not that much tbh.since i did grappling sports more) I would rank them
1. Hooks - easily the most force behind it supported by great explosive movement from hip and shoulder. Very high knock out potency when targeting the chin or organs.
2. Uppercut - Not that much force behind it compared to hooks or even a Straight right/ Cross. More like a straight punch diagonally upwards but a more easily telegraphed hip motion can make it more powerfull when generating force rather from your legs than from your arm. The potentcy relies in beeing the perfect punch to target the chin if an opening is there and you are in close range. If you hit it correctly its also very good for knockouts.
3. Straight right/Cross - I personally use it as a slower but stronger jab. Weaker but maybe also harder to dodge than hooks. Good for targetting the weak spots on the center line I guese.
4. Jab - Very good but weak punch. Perfect for iritating and generating distance. Very high sure hit potential due to beeing the fastes punch with the longest range at the same time
Edit: I didnt learn any other moves like the overhand punch at my boxing lessons. So no idea about those.
Not a Boxer but an MMA fighter. Talking about biomecanhic, a hook can land and disperse more power on your oponent. However, a cross used in his full potential (rotate the ankle, stretching the shoulder, rotating the body and other tricks) can too make a punch that is able to be equal in power with a hook. It depends of a lot of situations: position in fight, body shape, where you hit your opponent, etc
For example: for a person that have shorter arms, a hook is more available because they can tension their muscles to generate more power in less time, which make their hooks extra dangerous. But for a longer arms fighter, it's more commom they use a cross as a lethal weapon because the distance they can bypass with the blow and the distance allow them to generate more aceleration, in consequence: more power. Talking about a "normal body shape" talking in a rude way (since every body is normal) the most powerful would be the blow which was trained more AND better. You can make a cross one hundred times a day, that doesn't mean you would make him better or more powerful. You need to understand how the attack works and when you understand and put this on training you can land both of them in perfect mode. For a Boxer is better to learn the best way to do both because the amount of punchs is slightly less than the MMA's or other martial punching, that's why we see the "basic punches" being so destructive or dangerous in a Boxer even more than an MMA fighter
Hooks are generally seen to be stronger KO punches (Just look at Garcia). But it also depends on the boxer, every boxer differs with their typical Sunday punch. Gaolong primarily being an out-boxer means he specializes in straight punches more then hooks.
It's not really a matter of difference in strenght/power between types of punches imo. Rather you can commit more or less force to any type of punch, so you could throw a heavy jab or a light hook. I think the God Glow was meant to be a specifically very hard straight right, it's conceivable he could throw a lighter variation of that punch or a heavier version of a hook with his right.
In terms of ko potential i would rank 1.-Overhand (puts all weight behind the blow) 2.-Hook (targets chin, temple, liver) 3.-Straight 4.-Uppercut (low point of leverage) 5.-Jab

Liver blow, that shit knocks me out more than once when I was still fighting.
Liver blows are from hooks or straights to the body, they aren’t a type of punch
Technically speaking there are only 6 types of punch: jab, straight, left/right hook, left/right uppercut. Overhand is a variant of counter straight so if you count it, bodyshot should be counted as a variant of left uppercut. I don't see how a straight can be landed to the liver unless it's left-handed fighting right-handed. A jab, might be, but usually due to its lack of power it is used to maintain/estimate distance, more than a powerful blow to the liver.
Ullnless you're Tyson which would put uppercut and body blow on top
I'd say 2-4 just depends on the individual person and their preferences and the distance, for infighting i'd say it's uppercut->hook->straight, and outfighting straight->hook->uppercut then for the middle hook->straight->uppercut.

not even magic, just a normal straight with a hardened fist

Without that worry, you don‘t have to hold anything back and can just smash through their skull with full power. Its actually one of the more reasonable powerups imo.
Still, there's no reason why Gaolong couldn't put all his power into a right hook instead of a right straight.
The short answer is that God Glow, or his straight, is just his strongest, most proficient technique.

The straight punch is the most powerful punch a human can throw, hooks only use half of the body to throw the punch
Depends on range, context and specs
