Naoya Inoue’s Punch Mechanics and How He Uses His Kinetic Chains to KO Opponents

https://www.howtopunchharder.com

Today I look at Naoya Inoue's punch mechanics including how he creates torque and acceleration and uses his kinetic chains to generate punching power. I look at some big right hands and his left hooks.

There is one thing I don't like about Naoya's big left hook that he occasionally throws. He sometimes throws it off his lead toes. This makes him throw it like a rear hook and often ends up off balance. He often throws it against opponents who can't respond, however can get him into trouble. I include a clip of Naoya doing this against Nonito who is able to take advantage of Naoya's off-balance recovery.
