    Also for the guy who posted this. Later on I'll get two vids. As mentioned Tyson shadow boxing. He makes noises. As does Tszyu, and most guys.

    Look at Oscar Valdes on the pads and bag. He's loud as ****. And he has to be. I loved watching Valdez train.

    I make this sound when I shadow box my dog, even when not throwing punches.

    And he looks at me like, "My IQ is 15 but even I know you're P_ssy"

    They sound different?

    A grunt sounds like a grunt and 'HA!!!' sounds like 'HA!!!'.

    For the same reasons women fake orgasms, to deceive.

    It's a form of grunt. A grunt is nothing but exhalation. Have you ever thrown a punch i think not

    Nobody does it like Botha. I was ****ing annoyed watching him fight Tyson, but very satisfied when all of a sudden he went silent when Tyson landed that right hand.

    The guys who yap like chihuahuas, that should result in an immediate permaban from the sport.

    10/10 post

    Original question: I think it's because when you're punching you're trained to exhale as you throw your shots, some people grunt, some "sss" some "ha", some loudly expel air out as they punch. I've never personally in a gym seen someone absolutely quiet when throwing though.

    That's serial killer stuff :lol:

    A grunt is a natural noise to make when exerting yourself.

    Going 'HA!!!' is not natural.

    And I've thrown punches and never gone 'HA!!!' when doing so.
