A lot of kickboxers have very adequate boxing skill, some even being former boxers themselves. However, their technique often pales in comparison to a pure boxer. Since boxers only have to work with hands, they spend much of their time learning how to throw a hard punch and put themselves in the perfect position to punch. Even their bladed stance assists in delivering the hardest punch possible. Kickboxers don’t get that luxury as they also have to train and defend against lower body attacks. This is why kickboxers stand more squared up than boxers, sacrificing punching power in exchange for better lower body defense. A bladed boxing stance is an invitation for leg kicks all match. read less

a punch of a boxer is more compact when you compare to a kickboxers punch, boxers through most of their punch using body so the speed, power is a lot more than throwing a punch just with your arm and shoulder

Overall, while both kickboxers and boxers excel in striking techniques, their respective sports dictate certain differences in technique, stance, guard, footwork, and target areas.
