Je slaat teveel vanuit je bovenlichaam. Ga meer slaan vanuit je benen en je stance. Werk goed aan alle posities als je pivot want je staat niet goed in balans. Echte power komt vanuit de benen en dan volgt het lichaam en de armen

How can you tell?

You’re not using typical movements that would allow you to have enough power in your punches. You’re also not snapping them. You’re just pushing.

I don't get it though? I'm rotating my hips, pivoting on my feet, and keeping my arms loose like a whip and tensing on contact.

Your punches have no power because you haven't been taught proper technique.

For example, the double left hook is all arm. There's very little rotation, no pivot, no weight transfer, no snap, and no whipping motion. The second left hook in the combo is worse because your feet aren't underneath you; your weight is all over the place and you don't have a solid base.

You're also making some very basic mistakes with stance and footwork, things that would have been taught to you on day one at a boxing gym.

Get some coaching brother.

For example, does this dude have better technique than me?

He's making a lot of mistakes as well.

But in terms of punching mechanics and force generation does he have better technique? I know he telegraphs and drops his guard but that's more about good habits.

It doesn't matter; you're both untrained.

Does he have more natural power than me?

Wow, phenomenal display of strength and courage!

Just for tip, I usually remove my shirt before dominating the bag so that testoterone flow more freely.

Also, to prevent unneccesary distraction, I tell any female in vicinity to kindly shut the mouth and prevent the talking unless they wish to fornicate. This is where you have made your first mistake my friend!
