liver shot

[younghypnotiq]

i was sparring today and i got a liver shot but instead of with his fist he used his palm and it hurt more. any reason why?

[Relentless]

what shot did you get hit by??
usually people get hit to the liver by a overhand right.

[younghypnotiq]

it was kind of like a shovel hook but it was with the palm. now stop being an ass and try to help me please

[magnificentdave]

it hurt more because he hit you harder, the palm is a very effective weapon, but it's not a legal striking surface in boxing

[younghypnotiq]

it def wasnt legal and wouldnt knuckles hurt more than a palm?

[magnificentdave]

if you get better leverage hitting with your palm, then you will hit harder, and it will hurt more

[magnificentdave]

try hitting the heavy bag with your palm sometime

[younghypnotiq]

so even in bareknuckle if im clinching im better off hitting him in the liver with a palm then a punch? wow you learn something new everyday

[fernando4cv3]

the palm of a glove is often not padded

[younghypnotiq]

i know. im assuming thats y it hurt more and in a street fight ro bare knuckle match a fist would work better
