10 rounds of “You want shum!“ and “Why I oughta!”
-
And then there's Canadian pugilism, better known as a hockey grapple.
-
"punching faces is gonna hurt your hands" "punch through to your opponents face"
-
Victorian version of ”Press R1 for light attack and R2 for heavy attack”
-
You don't want to punch teeth in, as they get stuck in your fist and aiming for the nose might break your hand, if the opponent lets you hit his forehead instead...
-
Always remember one of the most painful injuries is a liver shot
-
Instructions unclear, opponent discombobulated.
-
"Kidney shot" "Kidney shot" "Kidney shot" "Oh, looks like Maurice has lost control of his bladder, and is pissing blood! Ladies and gentlemen we got a winner a Mathew "Kidney Stone" Johanansehn!"
-
When you use your face to block, you can use both fists to hit.
-
"You're gonna get a knuckle sandwich, buster!" "Why I oughta!"
-
Also dont forget these 2 steps 1. Distract target 2. Discombobulate
-
"You not wanting to strike the face." "Power strike through the face!"
-
I mean, getting punched to your tummy is really awful. Its painful unless you trained your stomach area to become rock hard, then work on targeting side area to imbalance them.
-
In an age of gloved boxing, we forget just how hard the human skull is
-
“Cmon let me at em, let me at em!” ahh stance 💀
-
First: Distract target Second: Discombobulate
-
Imagine teleporting Mike Tyson back to those days and seeing those guys faces when they see his footwork and peekaboo style…lol.

The right hand stayed higher up to protect your sternum, not down by your waist; and the reason they took great care not to break their hands is because a boxer could have multiple fights every week, unlike now where you have months between fights; it also didn't pay well, so any time off to heal a broken hand could mean you don't eat that week. Street fights didn't look like this, this was a technique for boxing matches.
-
“Right in the kisser” “Gib em a shiner”
-
“You want a piece of this?” ahh fighting
