Seems like the best place after the top of someone's skull to break your hands. Also are the rules consistent?
so they are looking out for their hands? the reason hip shots are illegal is because if they turn slightly they will be hit in the nuts
Punching someone on the hip limits their mobility. If they are running, moving, mobile type fighters, that limits their ability to move away from shots and defend themselves. Guys like Mayweather, Rigondeaux, Bradley, it can be very effective. Plus, it's below the belt and right next to the nuts.
Yes, and the nerve on the hip. It has nothing to do with slightly turning. It's by the extra pain caused that hitting the hip, and the risk of injury by the throwing puncher. A fighter can push a fighter down into a nut shot... Lol.. A fighter can move into a nut shot..
