within the last year or so i had the opportunity to spar with a female, Olympic level fighter. she was obviously looking to turn me into a punching bag while I would stick her with the occasional jab/hook to keep her honest.
Anyway, at one point during the sparring, I had my back against the ropes and she was wailing on me. I lifted my arms slightly to give her my body as a target so I could counter over top but she hit me with a left hook directly to the liver. I took a knee. no kidding, she caught me in a place where I had no choice but to go down.
She was a 135lbs. but it was a great shot. Now when I spar with women I have to take them just a tad more seriously because when they spar with men, from my experience, they have something to prove.
anyway, I bring this up because she was recently an Olympian and she is considering going pro right now.
