Berrod and Example Ample the Lalafell face off in Otto's fighting ring. Both are wearing hempen shorts, fighting bareknuckled. Berrod moves to deliver a low lick from his left, lots of power. Example Ample tries to stop it. Does he:
1) Catch Berrod's leg in both hands and somehow remain firmly planted on the floor while absorbing the force of the blow?
2) Catch Berrod's leg in both hands and ends up being yanked off the floor while still holding on to Berrod's leg?
3) Block Berrod's kick with a guard and remain firmly planted on the floor after absorbing the brunt of the blow?
4) Go flying despite the guard?

A few exhanges later, Berrod ends up in an unfortunate position where the Example Ample can take a clear, unarmed shot at his jaw. Example fires his fist and it connects! Does it:
1) Hit Berrod so hard that he goes toppling over, gets a broken jaw and is knocked out?
2) Hit Berrod hard enough to damage and daze him, but not enough to knock him down for the count?
3) Provide only a glancing blow that is little more than an annoyance to the larger, sturdier brawler?
4) Hurt Example Ample more than it does Berrod? His face is hard!
Which of the outcomes do you guys think are more likely, and why?
Attack A: Either 2 or 4.
Example B: All four are reasonable. Connecting in the famed "glass jaw" spot is a physical reaction to put someone down. Missing that but landing an unguarded blow to the head can rattle anyone. Hitting a cheekbone or the wrong part of the jaw can easily provide 3+4.
A better one: Example Ample takes a running leap and tries to tackle Berrod around the waist. Anything other than comedy happening is hard to believe.
