    Tht makes no sense anatomically, your ears are connected to each other directly so how would hitting or clapping both at once be any different to clapping one at a time ?

    Plus air pressure can escape through the eustation tubes into the sinus cavity.

    Sounds like something from a Bruce Lee movie to me.

I dont see it as unsportsmanlike to me (the objective is to punch each other isnt it) if it's being used as a taunt then why the hell dont refs warn people when they literally do taunt and talk **** right?. I think it's silly,but shouldn't be so frowned upon by most refs, hell the guy throwing them is the one who runs the most risk lol.
      True story man. Mayweather taunted the hell out of his opponents, he even danced for Berto but no warnings.

      Pac shouldn't get a warning for that. If Pac was able to do that to Clottey without eating a KD/KO punch then obviously something was wrong with Clottey. Maybe the ref should have warned him for being inactive.
