I mean sometimes I think they do it on purpose, nobody can have such a shitty accuracy. Same when we tap shoulders spar as a warming up and some guy gets frustrated he can't reach your shoulder so he decides its okay to hit you on the chin
PAcquaio punched roach's face quite a few times by mistake.. stuff that happen. You still alive so no need to worry
I've been hit many, many times while working the mitts with boxers. Mostly it is because I work real close to my body, to make it more like boxing than some patty-cake hand-slapping exercise.
There was a big bodybuilder type guy at a gym I went to that I've witnessed blatantly jabbing someone in the face in a shoulder tapping drill, also seen that same guy try to hit people after the bell more than once. He couldn't box for ****, just seemed to get a kick outta hitting people - total sucker punch merchant. Arseholes like that should recieve mandatory humblings at the hands of better fighters :yep
Ive almost hit my trainer a few times, my accuracy isnt great, but your gloves can slip a bit and if they dont meet the punch when you throw it sometimes be a close call, like grey said there not supposed to meet your punches quarter of the way, and you aint suppose to slap.
Try kickboxing, I've lost track of the amount of times I've taken a spinning hook kick to the liver coz some **** can't aim for a kick shield
