This is one of those terms that gets thrown around and has been part of the Sherscience terminology for a while.
I think its an absurd generalization to make in most cases and its not a fair assessment.
Guys have different striking techniques and styles. A fighter who throws every punch to KO you dead may be labeled as " heavy handed" but that's just because everything they throw is heat.
Some fighters are more systematic and they throw punches to :
- Set other punches up
- Gauge distance
- Create / Read your defensive patterns
- Pick you apart and string together combinations, etc.
If a fighter you think is " pillow fisted" was trying to land a bomb to KO you flush and they landed it clean , you would be asleep.
I myself have been guilty of calling guys pillow fisted before so I just kind of wanted to make/ talk about this observation.
