We spoke on how the jab is the most important punch in boxing recently, and it is, but what about the finishing punches and power punches in the sport.
Boxing is a sport that has produced some big finishes in recent times with big knockouts and so forth.
2025 has had a shed load of them, so did 2024.
But what are the best punches for professional boxing that do the most damage?
The left hook, the uppercut, the right hook, the check hook, the overhand right, the body punch knockout?
The Best Power Punch For Boxers Today
All of the above can be very potent and very deadly when applied correctly in professional boxing and landed at the right time. If any of them land at the right time by a power puncher in the sport near the highest level, they can be knocked out.
That’s the truth of it.
But the old one-two for us is still the most effective when it is coordinated correctly and landed, the jab-right cross combination.
The conventional, orthodox straight right hand over the top of the shoulder when it hits home is still one of the quickest ways to the target at any level of professional boxing.
It carries power and ends a night quickly.
Alas, the sport will continue to be successful and boxing will flourish again soon.
