It doesnt typically have to be quiet to hear the impact from the punches in a boxing match, sometimes when you have a hardpuncher it sounds as loud as sombody hitting a punching bag about 20ft from you, also "not a japanese uppercut" just means that it had far more power behind it that the average jap guy can throw one.

2019-02-19 11:47:05 +0000 UTCboxers typically never start by throwing a body punch, if your opponent can see what your doing your going to get punched in the head when you try it since the path your fist has to take from your guard to your opponents body and back into guard position is much slower than the speed you can get your guard back by throwing a headpunch, also whenever your arm is extended your are exposed PERIOD you cant block everything with 2 arms guarding, let alone 1

2019-02-19 11:38:35 +0000 UTCWhile I did meet some "larger" Japanese people when I live over there, they are indeed mostly smaller compared to many other peoples of the world. I remember having the hardest time shopping for clothes and shoes. I'm a pretty average size female in the US at 180 lbs and 5'10, but I always had to get the largest size available when I lived over there.
