Fun fact: if the girl punched with the same velocity as a mantis shrimp, her arm would have come out of her shoulder socket joint.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

I can see how that would be slightly disadvantageous for the second fight, yes.. šŸ¤”

[-] lostme@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

Well she got 2 arms, doesn't she? :>

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Sure looks like It. On the other hand (pun intended), as far as I'm informed, most boxers actually need to use BOTH arms in order to win..

[-] Astongt615@lemmy.one 20 points 3 months ago

Not if you punch with the velocity if a mantis shrimp

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago

Gotta be a pretty crazy opponent to not just concede after seeing this fight.

But then again, whoever comes up for the 3rd fight will have it easy

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

The good thing is if she can land the punch, a second fight won't be necessary :D

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Except a championship usually consists of more than one fight.. Unless she's already the defending champion or top challenger.

In which case she probably could have won fairly šŸ¤·

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I think if my opponent removed the head of their last challenger and still had an arm left, Iā€™d back out of that fight. I imagine next in line would too

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Depends: you could have been trained by immortal Chinese sorcerer Lo Pan, evening the odds out somewhat šŸ˜‰

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Time to learn from the crustacean how to grow arms as well

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

If I had a nickel for every time I'd been given that exact advice from a well-meaning boxing expert..

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 3 months ago

I'd have two nickels-- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 8 points 3 months ago

Aren't the strong body parts what allows them to punch so fast? Therefore if she was able to punch so fast her body should be fine as well

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I would be inclined to agree with you, but shoulder dislocation during a punch is not uncommon in boxing. There was a viral video regarding this where the boxer dislocated his arm due to the sheer force of his punch (missed the opponent), the coach put it back in, and then went on fighting in the same round.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 1 points 3 months ago

Unless if she also have enamel laminated fist, then yeah she would be unharmed while whoever received those punch will be pulverised.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Since she's larger than a mantis shrimp, I'd be inclined to scale up the speed accordingly.

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 3 months ago

But if she hit the target, which hopefully had enough resistance, all she would have is a comminuted fracture.

[-] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago

Speeds scale up in their technology using advanced geometries we don't fully understand today.
