Force of a Punch to exceed the Max Static Friction Force

[QUOTE="h1a8, post: 6049289, member: 215412"] I heard that the average professional boxer's force of punch is between 500-750lb. If the coefficient of static friction of rubber (from shoes) to say concrete is at most 0.85 then why can boxers get hit (especially in the chest) without losing footing? Does it have something to do with the stance to increase the normal force? Or is it that when the boxer does not lose footing, the striking force was LESS than the normal force? [/QUOTE]
