    BTW I have heard of using the top of your head but not in a boxing match, just street fighting.

    Of course if you can't duck,bob slip or something the punch I suppose taking it on the top of the head is better than the face in any arena you fight in.

    No. Take it straight in your face. Or you'd look like a potshot-*****.

    Yes, you tuck your chin and you brace yourself and try to move with it. It becomes natural after you've sparred and been hit enough in the ring.

    The PAL works out at a weightlifting gym and spars in the parking lot? I find that hard to believe.
