Strike to the throat ko. You'll cringe

I would think it takes a very powerful punch to actually collapse a throat and restrict breathing or cause suffocation. In the video, my opinion is he is collapsed from the pain and probably a **** load of fear - but I imagine he can still breathe. I mean even if your bones/cartilage are completely shattered, the lungs should be strong enough to force air through - albeit very painfully and laboriously.

Anyways, i won't pretend to be a medical expert, just my opinion.

I did get punched in the throat in one of my (boxing) fights last year - with a 10 oz glove. It was fortunately not hard enough to injure me. In fact, it didn't even bother me during the fight. What did bother me was the hometown crowd reacting like it was a clean hit. lol.

But I can say, my throat was sore for the next 2 weeks. Strangely enough, it felt EXACTLY like a sore throat from infection due to cold/flu.

 

What's worse, a strike to the throat, or this?

That would definitely be worse than a strike to the throat if there were no one there to stop the fight.

 

Ironic thread for your name lol

 

Thats from the IFL yeah? Did he have any lasting damage from that, because I was amazed he wasn't dead

 

Ive been hit in the throat in sparring before with 16s, but never in a fight. (boxing) **** hurts like a mfer but I kept going through it, obviously I didnt get it quite as bad as that guy

 

Yeah. Dan Miller choking Dave Phillips. Phillips only fought once (or twice depending on the source) more after that, a full year later, but apparently there was no permanent damage.

 

What's the situation with elbows to the throat in MMA?

 

Throat strike are illegal under the unified rules. Foot, fist, Elbow, Knee, all illlegal !

 

And probably a good thing to!

 

thing is...i have never once actually heard of someone dying from a a punch to the throat?

 

Someone died from a soccer kick ? Or a stomp ? or a 12-6 elbow ?

And when I mean die is in a sanctioned fight...before all those were banned... !

 

Oh i remember seeing that some years back and i thought he broke his neck and died and if memory serves me right he should be ok

 

Johnstown gets hit in the throat all the time... by his boyfriend's ballbag. :smoke
