Gane is the only top HW that doesn’t have one punch KO power. Can he do anything about it?

This is my only concern with this guy. He is extremely talented but his punches for his size are not dangerous like other HW’s. What can he do to improve his punching power or is it a genetic thing like Jon Jones?
 
He wobbled JDS with a jab and finished him off.
Rozenstruik ate one good jab from Gane and was terrified of him the rest of the fight
The finishing sequence on Lewis was started by a stiff jab
He just finished an iron chinned Samoan with punches.

He may not have bonkers power but he definitely has enough power to get other HW's respect.
 
I guarantee he has one punch KO power. His strategy relies on movement, volume, and variety to keep opponents guessing. He takes advantage of his opponents attempting to use their "one punch KO power" and picks them apart.

He put tai down.
So he'll be fine
Seems to have a good chin

On a side note, it seems like he heard those "criticisms", where people complained about his way of never getting hit, while methodically picking guys apart, being somewhat boring to some. He doesn't want to be a boring champ ; he noticed himself that he was barely tired at the end of most of his fight, and decided he had to change something. His fight against Tai is probably the start of a new, less risk-adverse way of fighting. Gane is still learning and I have no doubt he'll be more and more impressive.

Since his fight against Francis, he's already the most popular fighter from France (Rinner (judo is huge here) and Yoka being 2nd and 3rd), which is kinda crazy when you think MMA was literally illegal here before 2020 (broadcasting mma was illegal too, and it still is before 10 PM, which is usually not a problem, because UFC cards start after midnight most of the time)

Very interesting
 
If you think someone of that caliber of kickboxing and size doesn't have one-punch KO power, you have no idea what he's actually doing and no clue about why he doesn't seem to.

Gane doesn't load up and leave himself open, nor gas himself out. This can be both a good and bad thing, but thus far it's got him this far in his career. Any pro his size has KO power in every limb and thinking less is just ignorant.

My personal opinion is that he should load up more often and go for the kill, but he's probably way smarter than me and keeps himself safe and winning (most of) his fights.
 
He has power but I think when he sits down on his punchs and throws with it his technique isnt nearly as good as when he's jabbing from range,
