Throat punches.

Marquez got katsidis with an uppercut

 

That was a EAR shot (ala Thompson-Price) if i remember correctly.

 

:good
yep, ear-shot

 

The Tuscaloosa News: "His first punch, a right, caught Bobick in the throat, and that was it. A couple more rights landed, and Bobick toppled to the canvas."After I got hit in the throat," Bobick said, "I couldn't do anything."


He may not have been hit in the throat, he got blistered with some big shots regardless, but there were jokes at the time about it as a throat punch, as he'd said it was, as well as the Associated Press.

In Ken Norton's autobiography Bobick had recalled:"The shot that took me out was a right uppercut that hit me in the throat. Ken could throw a mean uppercut. All I can remember about that fight is going out and jabbing a couple tentative jabs and then waking up on the canvas and hearing the referee count four. As far as being punched in the throat, I was real raspy and hoarse and I couldn't talk much after the fight.

Kenny maintains in the same book:"Many experts felt that I hit Bobick's Adam's apple. Even Bobick thought so, but what actually happened was that Bobick's chin was knocked downward, and it was his chin that hit his throat, not my punch."


So, who knows, laddies? :conf Either way, neither fighter actually thought it was an ear punch, themselves.

 

Vitali-Sanders

9:38 right when Vitali goes against the ropes Sanders lands an elbow right to his throat.

Danny Garcia's no-look-left-hook straight on Khan's throat below the right ear. Don't know how people think it landed on his chin - nowhere near it. That punch screws up your equilibrium so much so that it's almost impossible to get up from it let alone keep fighting on.

 

The initial punch that hurt him was a looping right hook that connected to the side of the head/face area. Hard to tell the exact spot it landed because of the angle of the camera. But i just assumed it landed on the eardrum because Bobick was stricken with a sudden case of the stanky-leg immediately after it landed.

Azumah Nelson did it after the bell once if I remember correctly.

 

Where do necks end and throats begin? Have we established a clear line of demarcation?

 

Stop all the fist talk and stay on topic please.
