Ricky Hatton's (pro boxer) punch speed - ~25mph
Diameter of a H2O molecule (most common molecule in human skin) - ~0.29nm (0.000000029mm)
25mph = 11176000000nm per second
Deceleration = (0 - 11176000000nm per second)/0.00000000025948461 seconds = -4306999200000000000000000000nm per second per second.
-4306999200000000000000000000nm per second per second = -430699917039m per second per second, or -430699917.039km per second per second.
(If you don't want to read that brick of a number, that's over 430 million kilometres.)
-430699917039m*0.7 (average mass of a human fist) = 301489941927N
(Or three-hundred thousand million Newtons of force.)
So how much is ~300,000,000,000 Newtons of force? Well...

- About 3300 Newtons will break a rib.
- About 250,000 Newtons will instantly stop a car moving at 60mph (depending on the car).
- About 750,000 Newtons are necessary for a rocket to lift off.
- A 50-kiloton nuke delivers about 450 million newtons of force.
- And since I'm running out of ideas, it would take about a 34 megaton nuke directly hitting this person's fist to re-create the damage that one punch would cause to them.
With that ability, though, concepts such as pressure are irrelevant. Therefore, something affecting a wider area, such as a slap, or better still, a body slam, would be more effective. Additionally, the fighter would want to avoid the other problem, of his fist shattering. Therefore, they would want to actually attack more slowly.
In short, you've created someone who fights most effectively by doing the exact opposite of what most people do to achieve te same thing.

@BlackBishop Still here, just wasn't sure what I could contribute with both the contracts nabbed. Still, here to support the big one.
Charlotte barely managed to turn her face away from the boot before it hit her, and she went sprawling again. Thankfully, her jaw didn't feel broken, though it was painful, and the chunk of metal she'd been struck with certainly hadn't made it nicer for her. To make matters worse, hitting the sand multiple times had gotten it lodged in every uncomfortable place possible, and something that could just as easily be a small stone as a tooth had been trapped in her clothing painfully. Charlotte couldn't wait to get this all done with.
Having been knocked a few paces from her opponent, Charlotte stood up, more slowly this time, picking up her fallen weapons as she did so. So far, almost every attack she'd made against Kull had been met with a superior counter. Yet, he hadn't made an attack proactively at all. So, she gave him the choice.
Stepping backwards, Charlotte did her best at a faintly amused smile, despite the pain in her leg and face. "You've proved you can defend yourself," she began "Now finish the job. Strike me down, be the victorious warrior once more. Be a man."
With that, Charlotte settled into stance, cinquedea held close to her, just in front of her left shoulder, estoc low and in front, and her whole body side-on to Kull.

I'm interested, though until some real decisions get made about this, there isn't much more for me to say.
Charlotte cursed under her breath as the axe flew her way. Unorthodox, but it posed a clear threat to her, especially with the momentum she'd already gained. Abandoning the thrust, Charlotte attempted to avoid the huge blade by leaping over it, but it was already too late. Granted, she was partially successful, but the weapon was already too close to her, and she ended up with a gash across her right thigh as she'd failed to get that leg up in time.
The sudden jump hadn't given Charlotte time to plan, and the new injury didn't help. As the Duchess landed, her injured leg fell out from under her, and she hit the floor ungracefully, just about keeping hold of her weapons as she turned the fall into a roll and stood up behind Kull.
"I wouldn't tempt fate, swine. You might step out of this arena glad to hold that title. Better still, you might not step out of this arena at all."
With that, Charlotte stepped in close, still behind Kull's left shoulder. In a reverse grip, she attempted to stab Kull's armpit (one of the typical weak points of plate armour) with her cinquedea, and after a moment's delay, strike him on the back of the helm with the pommel of her estoc in an attempt to stun him.

@Doc Doctor So, Kull's basically shoving his axe forwards into Dame's upper legs? Just want to make sure I got that right.
This looks cool. I don't have a character suitable for this yet, but I'll come up with something.
It was an acceptable result. Lillith's death was regrettable, but her relevance to Charlotte had only ever been short-term anyway. As for Kull, he was injured and retreating, having chosen not to defend himself from Charlotte's stab. With any luck, the pain from the wound would be distracting enough for her to finish the job.
If she had been able to continue her assault, Charlotte might have won the fight then and there. As it was, Kull had managed to use Lillith's body in defending himself, delaying Charlotte enough that this wasn't an option. Clever, but he was delaying the inevitable.
Charlotte retreated two steps diagonally (to her left and backwards) as what was left of Lillith's massive bulk stumbled towards her, the body moving between them before falling and rolling once, a few feet to the side. Before it had passed, Charlotte moved into something akin to a sprinter's starting position, before darting forwards the moment the space was clear. Cinquedea once again in reverse grip, she held it close to her chest in left hand, her arm reaching across her body with her hand almost at her right shoulder, the weapon ready to parry as necessary. Meanwhile, the estoc was being used to stab once more, this time aiming for Kull's heart, using torque from an anti clockwise shoulder rotation to add power to the lunge.
