I have been in the position of knocking out my opponent and never been able to get in the position or land the right punch, any suggestions?
Well that is a very good question that requires another question in order to answer it. What is your training like? Maybe the technique is there, but the speed and power to actually have the knockout punch is quite not developed yet. Do you do bag work? How often? Do you target or pad work? How often?
Execution of the technique is very important especially when you want to have that knock out punch. Bag work will help you develop the power you need in order to deliver your whole body weight into your technique.
Target or Pad work will help you develop the speed and stamina that you will need to deliver the technique with the most speed and power that your body can muster.
Accuracy of target is also essential when you are looking for that knock out blow, whether it is a kick or a punch. That is also improved by working on the targets. Hitting the person right on the jaw, temple etc. will help you be successful with the knock out. Also something else to think about is having sharp technique. When you deliver a technique you want it to stick, not glance or slide off the desired target area. This is also something that both bag work and target work will help you achieve.
These two types of training are essential when you desire an improvement on deliverance of technique and power.
