I think you definitely improved but maybe you still need some work on perspective.

The first one has really good movement and proportion, and the face and hair really make it look like he was lunging into the punch.

I think the second one might be a little boring in that regard, the hair isn't moving, the face looks bored instead of angry, and the shoulders are squared off so it looks like he just lifted his arm up. And the hand on that arm looks a bit awkward to me, like the fist should be faced more towards the viewer.

It looks like you are more comfortable drawing the fist in profile than at an angel facing the viewer because its the same position in both drawings.

I think the hard lines in the first one work nice, but your use of shading to define contours in the second one look more realistic. I guess it depends on the style you're going for but I think both look fine.

Another thing on perspective on the second one, the torso looks like it should have been twisted, with his left shoulder going back.

you started this in the chest but the abs are left facing forward.

Try drawing a line for the angles for the shoulders, chest muscles, and torso before you start adding details. Or you could make the entire torso like a 3D rectangle at first, so you know the direction everything else should go and their angels. And remember to foreshorten things that are further from the viewer

Overall you can definitely tell you're paying attention to realistic anatomy and shading (LOVE the hair shading) but I think maybe you just need more practice with posing these realistic muscles.

try looking at other artists work and seeing how they do it, and drawing from life REALLY helps with these types of drawings!!

Good luck!!

I think you have made a great improvement on the body of the newer one, the muscles are perfect, the shading you have done really makes the image just 'pop' off the page xD
For further improvement... hmm. I would say you go back to drawing faces the way you did previously, the face on the second looks a little... flat compared to how perfectly drawn the body is, though I adore the way you have drawn the hair with the darker and lighter tones. 
Both are truly awesome pieces.

You improved tremendously but as BoxCat said, the second one is lacking movement. But hey, it's still amazing!

There is almost an overall improvement here which is nice,but the later seem much less dynamic,which is unfortunate because otherwise its a great improvement
