Traditional punches against modern (boxing punches)

Hi .... sorry for the long absence .... been very busy with life. Anyway this is the topic I've been thinking about. The difference between these two punches. Well... my poersonal view and analysis ... based on my experience in fighting and sparring .... I've never used the tradistional punches in any of my fights or sparring sessions .... you know the one which you walk towards your opponent and do the staright traditional punch. It's good to help you build your stamina .... when your're standing stationary and throw out many punches .... and it's also good to help you with the strength of your stand and focus. However, for my fights and sparring sessions I used the boxing punches (a lot of jab, back fist, combination of staright jab, hook punch, elbow). They are fast and difficult to block or evade. I'll talk about how to execute the boxing stlye punches later. These punches I learned from Master Mintarja Seongkono when I was in Canada in 1997-1998. THANK YOU MASTER.
