    I hope thats sarcasm

    Its not like he stood there and took it like it was nothing, he knocked across the ring Anyone who has strong abs would take that straight shot, obviously they would need to be of a similar size otherwise theyd get knocked back further but even then, it wouldnt cripple them.

    Try that taking a hook to the body from a young Tyson Not only would he have been splattered in to the cage, hed have had a rib puncturing his lung

    I think you're wrong mate. He let the guy set himself, line upi the punch and hit him with full force in the gut, if you aren't impressed with that I don't know what would impress you

    What the fuuck is so special about what he did?

    He didnt take it with no reaction, he got punched across the ring!! He ddint get winded, anyone who has a strong stomach, ie, has done some stomach excercises would be able to prepare themselves for that shot.

    I used to box and we used to muck about hitting each other like this and the size difference was bigger than what Kimbo is to Blaine.

    It would be more impressive if he was taking a shot to the chin but he isnt, really the only people who would be impressed with this are the same mugs who think Kimbo is a genuine fighter, people who either havent boxed or have never trained their stomach properly because everyone does this to prove how hard their stomach is when theyve done some training

    Ha ha, fair play

    Honestly though, anyone of a similar size to Bimbo Slice who actually does trains their stomach would achieve the same amazing feet

    If you look closely, you can see that there is a "cushion" to absorb the shock, it is just very hard to see because of the shape and because it matches his skin color; pay attention to the sound it makes when Kimbo hits him, it doesn't sound like a punch over a human plus, why do you think David only lift up his shirt a bit and do not remove it totally?
    Thus said, I cannot explain many of Blaine or Chris Angel tricks, these guys are very talented for street magic. However, I found out how they did a few of them by watching closely to their video, a little bit like the famous "walk on water" thing.

    I saw it on TV, I was suprised at how ripped David Blaine was. His abs were bulging. That suprised me.

    Plus the fact he stepped back slightly as the punch hit took away some of the impact

    Check channel 4 OD. I saw it on E4 a few weeks back, was a one off I think.

    The whole show was decent enough.

    It's not that it's unimpressive, it's just looks more impressive than it is.

    He just times it properly, which he can quite easily do as he knows and can see that it's coming. It's the ones you aren't prepared for that hurt.

    Tense your abs and step with the punches force like he did and it's barely above mediocre to be honest.

    I'd like to see himtry it in a planted stance so that he absorbs 100% of the blow...

    ...how many fights have you seen stopped by a straight directly to the midsection

    99.9% (just an educated guess) of all bodyshot KO/TKO's are from either hooks or uppercuts. And when a cross does drop someone it's on the sides and not straight down the pipe like that.

    LOL.

    Samu Hung is you're favorite martial artist noh? hehehe.

    David Blaine is great and I could not really understand how he does his tricks. He reads minds too. I have been watching his tricks every Thursday night at AXN.
