How to professional fighters avoid serious injuries?
I have always heard stories about people getting into fights with lightweight boxers, MMA fighters and people who practice martial arts and getting half the bones in their face broken with one punch. But I'm not sure how this is possible sure you will get hurt I have no doubt and lose and might get your jaw broken but if your average lightweight who trains has that much power how come Heavyweight mike Tyson and pro MMA heavyweights don't kill each other?
