Tom Aspinall's punching power

[Luffy]

It might be me, but... If you try to reason it out with me here, it makes some sense. Tom's # in the punching machine was like wayyyy below Alex Pereira and Ngannou... It was a number that iirc was somewhat bigger than Islam, I think like Topuria's level, idk... But still, when he hits his opponents, they sleep.

One thing interesting is that when Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka were about to fight the second time, in a video with Bisping, they were speculating who they think would win, and Tom Aspinall said "but you never know, it seems Alex Pereira has some sleep pills in his hands, haha..."

Then in a recent short video, Tom was curiously asked about who'd win between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira, like, why would he be recording a video speculating the winner between those two, it's giving ammo to a fight no one is taking about more, he won't want to give it spotlight... Unless idk, Tom knows he won't be fighting, idk... And when saying it is basically 50/50, he mentioned against that "And Alex, he has a crazy powerful punch... He can hit that when well connected... The opponent just dies... He can KO any fighter in the world with a clean punch. Weird too as Tom has seen that vs Ankalaev, Poatan landed cleanly quite some times, but it didn't even wobble Ankalaev. And one thing Jiri noticed that he thinks "Poatan was injured or even feeling sick is that it seemed like his arms were frozen far too early before Ankalaev started to land more punches..."

This video here, when a jab that wasn't even fully extended rocked Blaydes very badly, was asked in the press conference and about the low # when tested in the UFC PI machine, Aspinall seemed kinda nervous answering, he didn't like being asked that... Like, kinda uncomfortable...

Lol wasnt his number something like 50-60K while Pereira did 200K? NO WAY! Those machines are not accurate. There is not a chance in hell pereira hits 3-4 times as hard as Aspinall. Aspinall has very very good power, certainly at the same level as pereira. Aspinall has one punched koed guys, he is quick as fuck and he weighs 260 lbs. Those machines are a joke.

Honestly I would tend to suspect the opposite, Aspinall seems like more a raw power striker, Alex can hit hard as well but often the hurts people landing on the counter when their off balance.

In metric units, I believe it’s equivalent to a mini cooper. Not sure of the conversion to the imperial unit, ford escort, but it’s up there.

The special thing about Aspinall is the speed he can connect at. Typically he will throw and connect 3 punches when his opponent throws 2 punches.

I saw a Youtube-video of someone who did frame by frame analysis to analyze reaction times of fighters and Aspinalls speed was insane for a heavyweight, it was at the level of FWs.

Oh fuck that machine, it's nonsense. Virtually every HW has punching power to TKO or Knock you out.

 

[HHJ]

I absolutely agree

You would

I don’t like your threads and neither does Jon Jones.

Even Parker Porker?

Wrong, the machine knows the actual punching power. Being a HW doesn't mean shit. Grow up.

Tom and his speed/power/etc are all overrated…UFC HW division these days is like a carnival tough man contest.

Tom had to go two rounds with 105 year old Arlovski. Tells you all you need to know.

Doesn't take much when you hit someone clean.

Precision in a fight > How hard you can hit a punching machine

 

[Alpha_T83]

The punching machine metric is stupid. Timing and technique are far more important to land clean punches that your opponent doesn't see coming.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Those machines prove nothing. Pereira does not hit 3-4x harder than Tom. They’re an arcade game

 

[TheBulge]

He punches harder than Piers Morgan, that I know for a fact.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

He has Anderson Silva/Conor McGregor/Tyson type power, not Ngannou/Pereira/Foreman. Their "power" had more to do with timing/skill/precision as opposed to blunt force like the latter group.

The only downside to that though is as his career goes on, his effective power will get less and less notable just like Anderson and Conor, as age effects the their attributes more, whereas the Ngannou and Foreman types can still pack big KO power into old age.

The worst metric to judge anything by is a punching machine score.
