If your 'punch objects' contain rigidbody component, you can use punchRigibody.velocity.magnitude to get a length of the vector [speed]. If the objects do not contain rigidbody, you can create a new script and calculate the speed by checking old and new positions. You can follow the example below:

 Vector3 oldPosition;
 float speed;
 
 void LateUpdate()
 {
    oldPosition = transform.position;
 }
 
 void Update()
 {
    speed = (transform.position - oldPosition).magnitude;
 }
