Why do my punches feel so weak when I box?

Question

When I put on these blue Everlast 16oz. boxing gloves and have a small sparring match with my brother my punches feel so weak. Is it because of the weight of the glove that's slowing me down or my technique? Im stepping in with my jab and pivoting on my straight right but I still feel that my punch has no power. =/

Answer 1

Try building muscles.. You don't have to go to gym to do it, you can do some simple exercises at home like pushups, dips, and crunches. If you're persistent, you can build pretty hard and big muscles within months.

Answer 2

it might be the gloves, but I think you're just weak, I never had that problem, I can punch hard even with a 15 pound dumbell in my hand

Answer 3

your just weak :)
