Correct type of stretching will definitely help develop speed. Reciprocal Inhibition of the Antagonist muscle with its Agonist.
Ideal Tension Length relationship between Agonist
and Antagonist will produce the best contraction, this is not to say a Olympic Weight lifter needs to be supple or flexible he or she only needs to have the correct length /Tension between Agonist
and Antagonist of Primary movers for specific sport. Stretching at the wrong time or the incorrect muscle for a given sport will hinder performance.

The hardest punch ever recorded or at least of what I know of was a 3150 psi strike that's about 221 kilogram-force per cm sq. The take into account the padded glove which absorbs much of the impact, and then the padded surface of the target and you end up with a number similar to that of an average man swinging a 20 lb sledge hammer with a surface area of about 9 square inches, with a velocity of about 60-70 mph. This is enough force to break any bone in the human body, even if it were safely hidden behind a cinder block

Amateur: 3; also five-two min rounds. Pro: 4; 6; 8; 10; 12 no laws against "15" round matches still. Are their 'laws' against 20 r. boxing?? If their are/ those laws are most certainly -regional- and no possible further jurisdiction. Now: are "5" r. boxing matches ever slated? The answer is yes and you WILL SEE them in records if you keep searching long enough. I have seen them many times. Are their ever two round matches slated? again, they do exist in records. Even one round slatted distances are to be found in records. "7" round matches have happened. As have "11" r. matches. Normally it is even number rounds that are used. (note: their are many, many boxing matches happening around the Globe, every month and the numbers would -probably- amaze the average joe on street).
