Its pretty fun, but DAMN it hurts. Those gloves are still hard.

My face is all puffy and bruised, so everyone here at work is like, "wtf is wrong with your face?"

I doubt the two of them are skilled or strong enough to have to worry about the same dangers pro boxers face.

He did make the comment, "my face is all puffy and bruised" so they seem strong enough to do damage to each other's faces :)

Puffy and bruised is a long ways from unconscious & drooling on the mat.
