    Scary, I know exactly what you mean. Somehow hitting each other creates a lot of respect. Male bonding? Or is that gay :lol:

    I will not argue with that at all. Getting hit in the solar plexus is like having all your wind sucked out of your body. Where as a liver shot makes your legs become like gumby and cant breathe as well.

    Plexus usually takes more than one shot for me. I never have problems with defending against it, except against a southpaw I spar regularly. I throw a straight right to his gut, he prefers his left uppercut. We both do damage but neither of us went down so far. With the liver there is no choice, your legs simply stop cooperating and it's over.

    Yup. Happens to all of us. I was in England and one of achillesthegreat's guys (Lee) caught me with a huge hook right into that side of my body. Didn't kill, but my legs just went "sit down". :lol: Same to my guy the other day.

    Going to try to take some new sparring video soon btw, will send it to you if you don't mind and giving me some feedback.

    It's only gay if you make prolonged eye contact. :lol:

    Right below the heart baby. Hurts like a b---h. Foreman used it on Frazier to take his title.

    Right on #1. Not well protected by abdominals. You hit
    a nerve center and screw up hearbeat, breathing etc.
    Strike with power and drop the dude.​

    Didn't I tell you to stop sparring with those Bob standing punch bag guy shaped things?

    Yeah I kinda killed it.

    Question, ***beasts - how do you exhale when you're hit?
    I would tighten up.
