How can I improve left hand punching power?

Question

Im having my first amateur boxing match in a few months my right hand has incredible knockout power, how can I match this with my left hand.

Answer 1

keep practicing

Answer 2

Quartz's answer is good, do the plyometrics stuff, but if you can even find a brick wall to throw the medicine ball against, that should work better. I did that kind of stuff and not only did it make me stronger, but I actually gained some speed from it. Just stand in an orthodox position and throw a cross with a medicine ball, switch to southpaw and throw a cross in that stance. Great exercise.

Answer 3

keep doing what your trainer is having you do. train your left hand exactly as you trained your right hand and use them together. boxing must be a balance of your right and left, you must stay balanced.

Answer 4

Ever heard of plyometrics? Try holding a medicine ball with both hands. keep legs in ur normal boxing stance. Then pretend your throwing a right cross. quickly shove the ball forward, shifting ur weight and twisting ur foot, just like you throw a right hand. Pull back into normal stance and repeat it. this it is a great workout, btw this is irrevelant but research plyometrics if ur interested in this

o yea, about ur left hand power, use this same exact excersize in a southpaw stance, and throw everything in the same form, like your throwing a left cross from southpaw stance.

Answer 5

just use the left hand as a jab. and do weights on it and buy a hand grip
