Re: Shots you don't like taking
Liver...hands down. This is going to make me seem like a big pussy, but here's my story. My girlfriend and I used to train together at a legit boxing gym. Before joining, she had been in a class with a really good instructor at a fitness gym. The gym was in transition, and a sometimes she and were the only people there working out. Obviously, we weren't going to free spar, but to work on my defense and have her work on her offense, we would do rounds where she would throw at me 100% and I would just have to defend or throw soft counters that would miss on purpose. In fact, if I though she was holding back, I would taunt her to throw for real. She has an amazing left hook. Everybody in the gym commented on it. There were a few teenage boys who were in her weight range and the coach was afraid to put her in the ring with them for fear of BOYS safety and the boys didn't want any part of sparring her.
Well you can see where this going. Normally, you can hit me in the gut with a 2x4 and I don't care, but eventually she slipped a full power shot dead on my liver. Just the right angle, coming up underneath the rib. It's the only time I have ever been hurt to the body sparring, including sparring HW's. I kept on going, but the pain wouldn't go away...for ever it seemed like. I've been hit flush on the jaw by Shane's Mosley's 300lb cousin, throwing about 60%. I've taken vicious shots to the noise that had me bleeding like a faucet. Non of them hurt as bad as my 135lb girlfriends hitting me with a perfect hook to the liver. It can't remember how long I felt it for, but it was at least a full day after, if not two. I can't image how bad it would be if you got hit that perfect by Ward or Hopkins.
Yeah, I'm a big pussy. I got beat up by my girlfriend.
