Glover's short punch carries crazy amount of power

Some guys just hit hard.

He is one of those guys.

It is neat to see the power in that .gif. It starts from the feet and works its way through his hips and into his core, and it all gets sent through his arm so quickly.

 

[DontWaitUp]

Nice gif homie.

 

[in the liver]

im pretty sure it wasnt a very powerful punch, it seemed to me that instead of mindlessly swinging, glover waited til it would get through. shads attention seems to be away from that hand, i think it simply got through clean and sugar didnt see it coming

 

[Sinthesized]

Was definitely a hard punch, directly in the right spot and the right time

 

[King of Fists]

Is it me or does Teixeira have carwin-esque hand size? I always notice this when he fights, looks like he is throwing bricks around out there.

 

[Combat Wombatt]

This time he also waited for the right opportunity to throw both punches and he had great precision. You can see him hesitate, wait for the right second, and then throw them.

His accuracy, timing, and patience helped him a lot here. Isn't just power.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

It was right on the button. What's scary is the follow up punch looked like it had nothing on it and it knocked Rashad out cold.

 

[TewPoint0]

Perfectly placed. Maybe Rashad is going out Liddell style though...without his chin.

Great .gif.
Great accuracy by Glover.
I love watching the refs reaction in these sort of slow mo replays, and this one did not disappoint. The expression on Herb's face once he has realized what has happened cracks me up.

 

[Frode Falch]

Core strenght from the pit!

Yup, Glover has real HW power for sure, no doubt about it.

For me it looked like Hashad saw that coming but Glover's punch was too much for him to handle.

Good punch but it wasnt a short shot just the angle it was shot at , it came wide and long almost a haymaker

It still had more pep behind it than most guys can get. I agree with you as well. Rashad didn't see it coming and Glover picked a clean shot.

Ummm nope.

 

[ultramanhyata]

That...

Or, Rashad's glass chin carries a crazy amount of non-resilience.

 

[Deleted member 501827]

Rashads chin being gone and never good in the first place was the main factor. Precision and placement of the punch was the second biggest factor.

Short punches are what they teach in boxing and carry the power. He also sat down on it for extra power.

UFC discussion is so far behind in understanding fighting as per usual.
