man those noobs get dumber every day. You can google any topic that doesn't mean that you should not discuss it on the forum. How old are you 12?

 

I haven't been KO'd, but I have been stunned pretty badly... I felt like my brain and head were vibrating with each blow. I couldn't hear much, just the sound of vibration(if you know what I mean). Felt off balance, I could see him move, but I couldn't move much... If you watch a fighter wobble when he gets hit. It's not that difficult to come to the conclusion of what he is feeling, but what you can't imagine is how your head feels vibrating and the sound of the vibration inside your head every time you get hit hard. At least that's my experience.

 

I've only been stunned in sparring, never down or out, so I can't tell you how bad a KO is, though I bet it's pretty bad.

2 years ago I was in with a more experienced, naturally bigger guy who was a real big puncher. He slipped my jab and whammed me with a left hook, and when I tried to fight him off, he followed up with more unnecessarily hard counters. You see starts for a second and they don't quickly go away as the images come back, your vision is completely blurry, your brain feels like it's swelling up and hurts from being banged against your skull, every heart beat makes your head throb, and you start to breathe heavier and feel tense and nervous because your body knows it's in some kind of danger. It's pretty overwhelming; I don't know how guys like MAB, Marquez, and Morales keep a clear head and just keep coming and answering back without gassing or freaking out. It comes with elite-level experience, I suppose. In a way it kind of scared me to know that I could take such big shots and not go down right away.

The up side to it is, I've never been hurt as badly, and I'm never scared of getting hurt because I know chances are it will never be as bad as that time. I sparred him two weeks later and while I did better, he still caught me again and the weight of them almost knocked me over, but my legs were fine. The only time I really wobbled was my very first time sparring and my friend who was teaching me caught me with a shot I didn't see coming on the side of the head; that was less pain, and more just confusion.

 

I've been dropped a few times in sparring when I use to box. I do remember one shot I took and it was comical in my head. As soon as I got caught, my legs started to buckle and I said in my head "wait, wait, wait, nooo". Down I went on one knee. I got up immediately furious due to Norman Stone's fighter raising his hands and celebrating. Just a round prior, I had him doing the chicken dance and opted not to hit him when Stoney stormed into the ring saving him for the rest of the round. Anyway, the bell rang and the three rounds were over even though I begged for one more round. You don't celebrate during or after a sparring match. Stoney even explained this to him afterward.

 

Yeah, all subsequent punches hurt MUCH worse. And I forgot about sound; you forget you can hear until it starts slowly coming back.

Yeah, sounds very unsportsmanlike.

 

I'm an amateur boxer and can't say I've ever been stunned or KO'd. I can tell you that everyone is different and a good chin is something you either have or you don't. I've seen way bigger guys than me who couldn't take a punch and I've seen smaller guys who are tough as hell. The only way to improve a weak chin is by having great conditioning, which will help you recover faster from being hurt, but a great chin is something you gotta be born with... I'm more afraid of cuts and swelling than getting KO'd when I fight.

 

Yes, I seen this one HW do everything right from hitting the pads, heavy bag, etc. Until he got in the ring wit a friend of mine who was a MW. The fight lasted about two minutes. John caught him with a left hook and down went the HW. HW got back up again and turned the sparring into a streetfight. This guy had some serious temper issues and former football college player. Anyway, he attacked John and found a way to glance my way. As if he was saying "Miguel, wff". John then caught him with a right hook and down went the HW for good and he never came back to train. Either you have a chin or you don't. Just like power and speed.

 

Same as stunned and floored.

 

The hardest punch I took was from one of my first days in the boxing gym, when I sparred a guy with a muay-thai background (he had many fights in Muay Thai, about 50 or so he told me). We sparred lightly and none of us had headgear/mouthpiece, with 10oz gloves. He tried to impress the trainer as he glanced our way and walked by us, he hit me with an uppercut that stung a bit, I could hear a kind of bas tone ringing in my head. (Guy had 20-some odd lbs on me and was about 10 years my senior at the time)


Soon as the trainer looked the other way, he started going light again, and whenever the trainer would come our way, he'd step it up and I could feel him trying to thump me with full power shots. So I got a bit agitated and started throwing hard 1-2s to his head and made him pick up his guard, so I stepped in on him and threw a left hook to his ribs and he went down after going back and grimacing in obvious pain.

He then told me to "go easy, don't go hard... its sparring"


I'd imagine getting knocked down and out would be kind of a weird feeling, specially when your legs go. But I've never felt physical pain from them shots that come in fast and hard, its kind of like your brain is too slow to register that you've been hit.

 

lol I've seen this exact scenario play out more than once at the gym :yep. One time I took out two heavyweights in one round. I had spared them individually for two rounds each, and during both rounds, each of them tried to take my head off. They were very new though, so I easily dodged their slow, uncoordinated attacks. After the first rounds with both of them, I told them to calm down (I'm only a Middleweight and they easily had 30-40lbs on me). The 2nd round starts with the first guy and it's the same ****, so I said screw it and proceeded to whup his ass. Got him in the corner and unleashed a combo to his body that dropped him. At this point my coach realized I was mad and pulled the first guy out, telling him he's done. The 2nd guy comes and figures he's going to try and avenge his buddy and I ended up dropping him too, all within 1 round. I stopped them both with body shots (too nice to throw to their heads, lucky for them) to teach them both a lesson. Sparring is supposed to be controlled, practiced, boxing. These two tried to turn it into a street fight so I put them in their place. I'm actually now good friends with the first guy and I don't think the 2nd guy ever came back...

 

Well when you get hit in a sweet spot hard but not knocked out your legs may feel weak, you may feel 'stunned', off balance, ears ringing, eyesight darken & vision might become slightly impaired

Depends on how hard and how you react

For me the legs feel slightly weaker (but doesn't noticably affect the fight)
But mainly the sounds around becomes duller
Just a natural reaction for me to shock I guess.

 

I personally never been knocked out but have been stunned by a guy who has 30 something lbs on me and it is kinda weird. It is as if you are suddenly deaf you can only hear sounds inside the body (sounds weird) and i could feel my head beating like my heart.

My trainer got knocked out once with a baseball bat and he said it feel as if he had a real bad hangover the knockout itself doesnt hurt you everything just goes black and when you wake up you feel like ****

 

I was hurt twice during my experiences in a boxing gym.

The first time was against a smaller but heavier guy who had very hard, fast hooks. He was very fluent. I did well against him early in a round of sparring but he kept catching me and towards the final few seconds I remember feeling a bit numb. It wasn't so much painful as I just couldn't think straight.

The second time I got caught flush directly on the bridge of my nose. Immediate pain. I had a headache for a week, I went and saw my local doctor, she told me the tissue around my head was re-forming or healing or something of that nature (anyone medical care to confirm if I am/am not talking out my trumpet?)

Anyway, it's one of the things I feel weirdly proud of. Every time I came out of sparring with the shakes, or with a slight dull headache, or with dried blood on the inside of my lips, it felt quite cool!
