I was primarily responding to the statement that strength had no effect in
boxing. I concur whole-heartedly with you that technique is the most
important factor, but to discount strength didn't make sense to me. Your
statement above actually sounds like my comments. Technique being the
application of strength, good, but if you've got more to apply and know how
to apply it, you have an advantage over someone of equal technique and
lesser strength (random variable excluded). Strength is no different than
other physical variables. Reach is another one (trolls again). My Sensei has
very long arms for his size and can really sneak a punch in on you when you
think he is out of reach. In this same situation if the techniques are equal
then the increased reach will give you an advantage (which SR supports in
it's melee rules).
