Boxing on the moon The gravity on the moon is ¼ of earth's gravity and moon's gravity is 1.622 m/s2 so you would weigh a lot less and you would be able to jump higher then normal and you would move slower and have less friction. So you would be slower when punching and you would be able to jump pretty high.
