Is the punch you dont see comeing the one that can do the most damage?

why is it most of the time that shot always puts you on you ass

[MANGLER]

Definitely. This has been said a billion times in boxing. If you tell somebody 'gimme your best shot,' you get to brace yourself for the hit. That helps you take it. If the same person were to tap you on the shoulder and blast you soon as you turned around, no doubt that punch would hurt worse.

i think because youve got no time to react and like mangler said you brace yourself if you no its coming but i suppose all it takes is that 1 punch to knock anyone out dont matter what height weight or style of fighting

Reason I always hated head guards was because I always felt you had blind spots wearing them.

thats were my spidey senses kick in

[Young_Stalin]

In my experience yes. The only shots that have knocked me to me knee or stunned me were the ones i never saw. I think it has to do with the suprise factor and balance. If you are going to put it all on the line to land a big shot you might get caught off balance. When your balance is off if the other guy gives you a jab the misses a flinch on your part could put you on the canvas. Thats why i like to stay real busy, if i take a shot i will throw somthin back even if im doing it blind or staggered. It will always throw the other guy off when you take his best shot to the face and you just keep at him. Think about it how would you feel if you landed the cleanest hardest punch you had on the guy and he just hit you back without a blink?

i know what they say about that punch you dont see coming...but ive been hit with some painful rhythmic punches that i see them coming, but its like u cant do anything about it at that moment...
