A friend and I bought some gloves last night and started goin at it.
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?"

ah well...


I live in the South Houston area btw..

are you guys making this a regular thing? there's a reason why boxers only fight like once every few months 🙂

maybe try sparring?

 

[Brutuskend]

Maybe you and your "friend" could start a CLUB!!?? 😉

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 🙂

cosmetic damage to someone's face doesnt take too much force

 

[fumbduck]

"PHYSICAL DEBATE"

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