A close hand slap is a punch.

I've heard the term open handed slap before but it's definitely weird when you think about it.

gonzo650 t1_j21bade wrote

I could totally be wrong here but it could be differentiating between an "open hand slap" and a "back hand slap"

Trifle_Intrepid t1_j24c95i wrote

People would just say backhand, which is indeed different , not a closed fist but you are utilizing yer knuckles

captaincumsock69 t1_j22m4ag wrote

I think people say that to differentiate between a backhand or slapping someone with an object

It's like in MMA when noobs say "leg kick to the head". Makes me want to open hand slap their mama.

Yeah, but because you put the comma outside the quotation mark.

"Mentally disabled" ... and I dont think that was an insult. The same way people make assumptions that someone with suicidal ideations have depression or people that have executive dysfunction have ADHD, people assume a person that says something that sounds stupid have some kind of mental disorder.

My pet theory after reading that: He just has really, really crap form, and his punch was thrown with a slapping motion so his curled fingers impacted rather than his knuckles.

The witnesses, at a loss to figure out how to describe such a stupid move used to do something so horrible, called it a "closed hand sort of slap."

I like this theory because he is a professional boxer apparently, and so him being revealed to have terrible form outside of a controlled environment destroys his image.

I would say only if your knuckles are facing in the direction of impact. I could see a closed handed slap being a strike with the palm and the front of the closed fingers.

Close your hand and tell me if that is a fist or not? and then tell me if you throw that fist at someone is it a slap or a punch?

Open hand slap = Will Smith slap. Closed hand = fist.

Is it dependant on a limp wrist? A shitty punch is still a punch I guess

That’s why the guy called it blind optimism haha

He would but it doesn't matter because Tank is going to prison so its not going to happen, not anytime soon.

BitterJD t1_j24cddy wrote

This is the problem. Davis is a piece of shit. Not sure if he will ever be allowed to fight again. But the reality is, if he is in form, he will brutalize a guy like Garcia.

I'm shocked Garcia would even take that fight. It's like the privileged kid with all the lessons going up against a literal Baltimore gang banger who will happily kill you.

So he’s claiming they’re trying to wreck his name and get money? If he knows that’s what these women are after he should have probably avoided hanging out with them socially at all costs.

I would love to see Tate starched, but I think there is a huge height difference between these two knuckleheads.

This sucks ‘cause so many fights this past year have been cancelled due to doping, ducking, and now arrest. Like wth man. I love boxing, but some years are just a hit or miss

LMK if you figure out multiversal travel and get to see that. Not supporting tanks actions but Ryan Garcia would get clapped it’s a joke

This might be a smart observation, if not for the fact that nearly every other major professional sport is run rampant with people who treat women like shit.

Most professional sports involve repeated head injuries. And fame/privilege ->-> abuse of perceived underlinings. IMHO

Theres rapist, abusers, misogynists, etc in plenty of sports that don’t involve head trauma, from soccer to tennis to basketball.

The issue is privileged sports stars with oversized egos and superiority complexes.

So men should never be in jail for assaulting other men? Even with the trans hate logic you are using that is still fucking dumb. If Tyson beats your ass he shouldn’t go to jail?
