What was the hardest punch you have ever taken?

I was sparring with a guy at my gym and we were really going at it. It was a war in there. I'd back him up, then he'd back me, we would trade in the center. Anyways, he started firing a couple combos where he'd hit me in the body and then hit me upstairs. I backed into the ropes and he caught me with a big left hook. I felt a buzz and everyone went OHHHHH, but after a second or two I was ok.

Another time I fought a kid who was 155 lbs (I'm 125) and every time he hit me I felt my brain rattle in my head. Damn that kid hit hard. He's was a real bully in the ring though, all he'd do is come out and throw wild hayemakers in sparring and beat up the new guys. Eventually some of the more experienced guys had to put him in his place.

My trainer always say its the punch you dont see comeing, the punch out of your line of vision like right hand over the top or looping hooks that are most dangerous cos you dont see them comeing so you body cant prepare its self for the punch

So true. Was dropped for the first time ever tonight from an overhand right that I just didn't see coming from a guy with about 20 pounds on me.. Was just a flash KD.. felt completely fine and kept sparring for another 3-4 rounds.. was just like my body telling me it needs warning before getting punched on the chin. Good experience really..

What was it like sparing him?? i bet he battered you didnt he?? the punches must have been to quick and hard to do anything about aye lol

i sparred him twice. Ive been hit almost as hard by one punch from some other guys, but damn near every punch from Brunson hurt. I was actually just as fast if not faster cause sometimes i was beating him to the punch. He didnt move well on the outside and I cornered him alot. Defense wasnt too good and he didnt move his head... but he can HIT, he's explosive, he can put punches together and when he was inside he would pivot all around me.
