also, I can assure you that gloves indeed FACILITATE KOs...without gloves it's much more messy, but KO is less frequent...the power is more focused, hence the brain doesn't move that much inside of the skull. You can have a completely shattered face and still be conscious, whereas with gloves you can be KO and your baby face almost intact...
Cool.
