How does Marvin Vettori have no power?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Vettori is one of most boring, terrible top 5 fighters I've ever seen.

 

[DrRodentia]

Had the punching power but no chin.

The inverse of Vettori.

If Sakara was a glass cannon, what would we call Vettori?

 

[porcodio]

I was just being an asshole. But aside from the gold medal sprinter who’s part black or something, I can’t really think of an Italian power athlete or athlete that had notable “power.” Maybe in soccer? I don’t know.

Italians let me know brah.

Define power...we have plenty of powerful athlete, from swimming to rowing or even tennis (despite is skinny look, Sinner is pretty powerful) . It's obvious a bit of a joke but the issue with Vettori is his lack of ability to setup power punches...no combination, no decent technique, he spams power punches and by the time he's in the 3rd round there's not much left at all.

Here are the genetics of Marvin as fighter

Cardio 5/5
Strength 4.5/5
Power 1/5

Mentally

Work ethic 5/5
Toughness 4.5/5
Creativity 1/5
Fight iq 2/5

He's got all the slow fitch fibres, strong and durable. Not explosive nor smart to do anything that isn't basic and straight forward.

Simply slow twitch dominant athlete.

some people are just like that, aljo is jacked and has no power, same with Movsar evloev, vettori has some power but way less than what'd you expect

Technique is the issue...both in delivering punches and setting them up. he's obviously very strong physically speaking.

 

[DougieJones]

He is not an apocalyptic fighter, that's for sure

Italians of yesteryear that everyone is citing were tough. But so was everyone during that time.

Italians today are the Olive Garden versions of themselves.

Paulie Malignaggi
Joe Calzaghe
Enzo Maccarinelli

Were the only boxers of modern times and all three couldn’t punch their way out of a plastic bag.

Very much like their soccer they play technically and don’t focus on power.

Paulie's punches are bone breakers.
He broke his hands on several occasions.

 

[Vil7]

He traded it all for a GOAT chin. He’s basically the opposite of Melvin Manhoef

He's not a glass cannon. He's like a solid steel 9 mm.

Totally forgot about Sinner and I’m a tennis guy.

 

[Bork Neslar]

He has power. He just fights guys with good chins.

Phil Baroni "Da New York Badass" Hello!

 

[Human Bass]

Alessio Sakara is an Italian KO artist for those who forgot.

Some would say he was apocalyptical

Technique is a small factor in punching power. There are a lot of boxers that do nothing but box and work on their technique and still have no power. (Haney, Shakur to name a couple). Punching power is more about mindset and genetics. You have to be willing to punch thru your target, plant your feet and put yourself in harms way

Bizarro Manhoef.

 

[Vampire life]

Yes

Ray Mancini
Primo Canera
Joe Calzaghe
Jake Lamotta
Arturo Gatti

Want me to keep going ?

Are you seriously taking the position that mechanical efficiency is a small factor in power? Wow. Just because some people with good technique do not have much power does not mean it is not a factor.

Cast iron squirt gun.

 

[Xoleth]

His biggest issue is range of motion and the way he plants his feet when he strikes. He doesn't sit on his punches and he's muscle bound in the wrong way and it prevents him from punching through his targets. When he throws its almost like he has resistance band on. He would probably benefit for a lot of stretching especially in his back and shoulders and losing a little bit of weight. Or stay jacked and really lean on grappling and wrestling

Interesting post.

His S&C workouts are legit, though.
Weird!

He’s even dumber because he got to a title shot with solid wrestling, which he has completely abandoned. Instead of pretending to be a Muay Thai striker—when he’s never had real power—if he had mixed in that decent wrestling with his good cardio, he could have been a middleweight version of Merab Dvalishvili.

I guess he has a good reason for that?!?! Maybe fucked up knees...

 

[AFewDollarsMore]

Punching power is mostly hips.

 

[Tweak896]

I've never liked Vettori, he's like a yoked dude who looks like he'd be taking heads and even fights like he does. But he ends up being a cardio/volume guy whose skills suck more than any specialist. Has a hell of a chin but doesn't even have power like most guys with chins have.
