Mutley Ravishes

A boxer always aims

His jabs

At opponents' faces

Aiming at the deltoid

He runs the risk

Of being wasted

      Thank you. I hope that you are keeping your guard up!

      You can take a lot of blows to the face and still carry on. The most critical part is the LIVER. A blow to it immediately puts you out of action at least for a few seconds. As for the deltoid, the one on the side that the boxer uses more (eg right shoulder) can affect him for some time. But a blow to the liver is more devastating.

      “Blunt force to the liver can be excruciatingly painful, but mostly lasts only about 30 seconds to one minute. An especially effective shot will incapacitate a person instantly. Thus, in combat sports, liver shots often result in technical knockouts (TKOs).” – Wikipedia.

        Yes, blows to the internal organs are so dangerous. In Kung Fu I was shown a punch to the heart which can explode the heart valves if done with sufficient force and aim.

        My defences were down and i got sucker punched with this one, enjoyed the read

        • Mutley Ravishes

          I guess we all get sucker punched by one thing or another. Try taking a look at natto kin (fermented soy bean bacteria).
