You see a punch land, cut, and on the new angle the hand is back 3 frames or so, then it hits again. Because they eye and brain take a moment to adjust after a cut, it ends up combining the two hits into one bigger one.

I just finished cutting an action movie, so I tried it. It's amazing. Everything has a heft and weight to it. The hits feel like hits! All because you purposely break continuity and don't try to be slick.

What's funny is that some people actually complain about this type of editing (I remember hearing some of it around the time The Force Awakens came out). It looks off once you're aware of it, but if you're immersed, your brain doesn't register it, since it's piecing the same action with a separate angle.

Kind of like a visual version of this trick:
