Lets debate this... Just How Much does it Take to Knock somebody out? ? ?

[Big Rick Rock]

Has anyone on the board gotten KO'd with a liver shot? What is the mechanism behind a KO of that nature?

I'm not sure you'll be knocked uncosious from a liver shot... You'll be in so much pain it is hard to breath, you won't be able to get up off the canvas... You'll know you are there and in pain but just can't get up.

just the body's natural reaction of getting hit: "Oh shit! I was hit, this hurts, shut down!"

Good impersonation of a body reacting. LOL

Karma for U

Delahoya looked like he was in a world of hurt when Hopkins stopped him.

yeah, I think that shot caught him during an inhale.

I agree with BRR: torquing your whole body on a hook to the chin is the best way to go for a KO (well, second-best if you're in a situation that allows you to do this with an elbow). This works especially well if you're very strong and a heavyweight, of course, because you will require less of a wind-up to deliver the blow with 'knockout power'. I've also seen guys get put on the ground with an open-handed slap to the ear...this is a measure of having their equilibrium fucked up moreso than having their brain rattled.

About 5 years ago I got hit in the temple lots of times while waiting for a class, I was right next to the deans office so I didnt wanna do anything and I thought he would stop(been in trouble with the dean b4 so...). I couldnt block cause I was feeling woozy after he got a couple of cheap shots to the temple, and I didnt know what to do since I was right next to the deans office and there was a fucking UPS guy next to his door(just couldnt get my thoughts together). So what I want to ask is, how can I tell if I have any sort of permanent damage to my brain?(didnt get knocked out, head just hurt for about a day or two)

 

[Maverick]

from that reply, seems you do have brain damage !!!
