How does newtons laws effect boxing?

1 In boxing a fighter will experience this law when being hit. Before a punch is thrown the boxer will remain in a balanced position. At the point of contact, the punch delivers a force that will knock their opponent off balance. The head, the neck, or even the whole body can be moved with the force of a punch.2Typically a larger person, or a heavyweight boxer, would apply more force in a punch. This is true because the more mass along with acceleration yields a greaternet force in the equation F=ma. A hard hit comes from a hard punch. The harder the punch the quicker it has been thrown. Larger boxers can usually throw the quickest punch with their mass and acceleration.3In terms of boxing, Newton's Third Law is closely related with momentum. After a punch has landed, the opposing boxer moves from the force of the punch in the same direction. Many would ask if there is any equal force acting on one another why wouldn't they cancel out? This is rather hard to understand. The two forces, usually called the action-reaction forces, act on different bodies and do not yield a net force.
