I have seen I active service In the ring for 15 ( I years, and in my experience hao novcr j noticed a good reason for a boxer not taking advantage of an opening which might lead to victory through the use of the kidney punch. 'To show the effectiveness of tho punch. I have been In 108 ring battleB and yet have never felt any damage from being pounded in the kidneys. If a man is weak; in the kidneys he will naturally feel the effect, for It is just the same as the fighter with the paper jaw hq Js wenk In that particular spot because nature has made him so. "If the klilney punch Is prohibited In the future 'here wijl bo less fighting. When a mnn becomes groggy or in 1 distress he will go into a clinch to save himself. He knows that whllo hanging on a clever, man is able to got in some effective work with the kidney punch, so If it is stopped it will give a poor boxer the advantage and work a disadvantage on the clever man." nn- |
