    Blocking punchs like this, that is why we see a lot of fighters w MMA style knocked out easily..!! I prefer Step back or side lightly and deflect at same time…Look at Lyoto Machida n Cung Le, they have never been knoked out…cause of their style to get away from punches.
    Blocking like this on streets w out gloves, dammnt..your nose will be bleeding man…Boxing Punches are good but Blocks no way…!!
