Lord but you people are daft! Allow me to do a little
experiment on your jaw, you silly old fart. Let me
punch you in the jaw with my fist in a boxing glove.

Then, when you regain consciousness, and rub
your sore jaw allow me to hit it again my balled
up fist without the glove. Whereas all you lost
with the fist in glove is consciousness what you
lose with my balled up fist is consciousness
plus a broken jaw.

Your hull is your jaw. The lead keel is my fist in a
glove. The cast iron keel is my balled up fist.
Understand now you putz?

You too, Oz you weenie.

Sorry Mr. Simon but boxing gloves are to protect the fighters hands.
They do nothing to soften the effects. Modern fighters can hit harder
with the gloves without breaking their hands than bareknuckle
fighters.

Old bareknuckle fighters used to push, shove and wrestle a lot. Most
blows were to the body.

Ask on rec.sport.boxing if you wish.
