How can you get better at taking punches to the face ?

Question

pls tell me

Answer 1

If you get too good at getting hit in the "face" you're going to get your brains scrambled.

Sonny Liston was known for his ability to take a punch (Cleveland Williams nailed him with a huge left hook and Sonny hardly wobbled).  Sonny used to stand on his head to strengthen his neck, which is the only way I have heard of for a boxer to improve his ability to absorb a punch.

If you want to avoid taking too much punishment to the head, you need to move into and under or to the side of head shots (particularly straight punches) rather than snapping your head back.  A punch coming your way will tend to reach its maximum velocity and power towards the end of its trajectory.  Even if you get caught when moving into a head shot, you should catch it before it reaches its maximum power.

Answer 3

i think you are going about this all wrong,if your looking for boxing tips . you should concentrate on getting hit in the face as little as possible,work on defensive skills. some fighters work on neck muscles to take a better punch.maybe you should ask questions" like how do i block and slip punches?" unless you plan on standing still to let some punch you in the face,then maybe i would suggest using some novacaine or getting really drunk.i was pretty good at taking punches to the face when i was really drunk.

u need to have strong chins, and hard face. and strong neck, so try to build up your neck muscles and u need to get used to getting hit in the face, there is really not much things to taking punches to the face.. u should learn how to avoid punches and learn good headmovements, boxing is good way to start to learn a good headmovement and avoding punches

Answer 5

Most people don't want to get hit, you'll really need to focus on being a speed boxer like Ali, Byrd and Mayweather.  YOu won't be crowd friendly but you can win.  You will get hit though, no way you can go through a decent boxing career without out getting dazed.  Just like anything else you will become immune to the pain.

Answer 13

As others have said, the best idea is to avoid getting hit in the face.  But, since you might not be perfect at that, there is one way you can get ready for the punches that get through.  You can hit the speed bag away from you, and then let it fly back into your face a few times.  That way you'll know in advance what it looks and feels like.
