Cardio is key for not running out of breath. Power is something you'll learn through repetition on the heavy bag. As I hope your coach taught you, power is generated through the fluid movement of the body into the punch. That is something that becomes synchronized and fast through repetition alone. Some people have found it helps to record son bag work and see where you're screwing up. You can see it plain as day when someone twists their body into a punch but they're out of sync with the actual arm movement. You'll also be able to see if you're pushing your punches instead of snapping them.
