Boxing is a brutal sport but is still often described as “sweet science” because the sport is not just about brute force. It’s tactical and strategic where boxers rely on capitalizing on their opponent’s weakness in order to snatch the victory. This is one of the reasons why Floyd Mayweather reigned supreme even with his relatively weak punching power. However, when power joins hands with technique, what is left is a spectacle for everyone to see. Recently an interesting video surfaced on social media that showcased the importance of technique in the sport.

The last undisputed champion of the Heavyweight division Lennox Lewis shared the video on his Instagram account. In the caption, Lewis wrote, “As demonstrated here, the quickest way to your opponents chin is a straight line.” The video featured two boxers who participated in an event hosted by KING OF THE RING UK. The boxer in the black T-shirt tried to throw wild yet full-swing shots at the boxer in the red T-shirt. However, after dodging the second punch, the boxer in red countered with his own combination of punches and ended up knocking the other person out.

One fan addressed the problem with his stance and stated, “Keep your hands up, protecting yourself at all times.” He called the knockout “A lesson well learned”.
