Power Slap League

[Lanatsa]

I never thought that this will become a large organization I just saw them in the videos in different social media and just happen in a small event only and I saw that imagine their training and resistant from slapping and one slap that's really hard can make you a knock out or else having a problem with your brain due to have a large impact of it, still for me its part of the extreme sport like the others too because its cause too much dangerous.

Me too!

I though that it was really just some past time for some people and made out some videos about slapping out their faces until the other one would be down or would lost consciousness or someone who had give up and now it did really become a sport and it is really that circling on streaming sites and social media.Its indeed an extreme sport which i could say that it would be more extreme than with boxing.Why?
because it do constantly been hitting up the head and with some solid slap and even though it do hits up only on the front part and not on the skull itself but the impact and vibrations could really
make out that effect which you might be facing later on.So im not really seeing this to be entertaining at all.

Who didn’t hear or watch at least one video about Dana white’s latest show which called The Power Slap League that started this new year of 2023, the rules of this sport are easy and simple where both competitors taking turns trying to knock each other out in order to win
There is a lot of talking about it lately about the low payout of Ufc boss to the participants of this tournament which goes to only 3200£ a Fight while he might be generating millions of dollars of it, But my topic here i want it to be about betting on this new sport and tournament which i still didn’t see any bookmaker announcing anything about this matter, And in my opinion it’s a lot of fan and as any fighting sport there is always bookmakers that will eventually include Power Slap League and allow people to bet on their favorite fighters.

Just like UFC, I do not like this extreme sport. I think it is disgraceful for combat sports.  I know that a fight is a fight. But when you stand there with no defense, hands behind your back, getting slapped as you stand,
it is just disgusting to watch.  This should not be in any way promoted by UFC. If they can't stop Dana White now, they should sue him when people start suffering severe brain injuries.

Hahahahahah.....
Prolly the same thing I thought of...I know they're all trained professionals,but let's not forget that we're humans, in as much as we are, we have emotions and thoughts -- someone might easily get upset for getting bullied or slapped too hard on the wrong part, all in the process and he/she might even forget that it was a contest -- it could lead to a real fight...I know we've got referees everywhere though, that won't happen, not just easily. I don't really see it as a sports I like to watch cus I don't find anything interesting in watching people getting slaps from left, right and center...lame!!

Possible mistakes may occur because the player accidentally slaps the wrong part but does not trigger a real fight because they have the referee and the rules of the fight, it is possible that the player will be deducted or can be disqualified from the fight, the most interesting thing to watch when the player can defended and came to his senses after a heavy slap from his opponent and when he returned a heavy slap to his opponent.

Dude, this doesn't sound too nice ...I mean giving slaps to people In the name of gaming is a big-time bully - as long as I know... It's something we did way-back in our youthful times, when we had barely some provisions to cope with; then we'll go as far as getting dirty slaps from peeps that own provisions, just for a dish from their day's meal or a heavy scoop from Thier beverage pack, cookies or whatever they desired -- yes, it was a boarding home, but that was all jokes and school fun.
When I realized it was brought up professionally, I laughed hard and I seem not see the fun in that. Someone was slapped and she became unconscious, the MODs were laughing, how's that amusing??

Such slap contests were popular in Russia about 3-4 years, specially on YouTube. I know that there are also slap contests in UK and Poland. I personally does not count this as a sport at all. You are right that this is extremely dangerous. Power Slap will close as soon one of the contestants get a brain injury, gets a serious concussion or dies from cerebral hemorrhage.

The problem with Power Slap is that there are no clear rules how strikers can slap. It is only said that they can slap with open hand basically. In Russian version of slaps, it was allowed to slap with fingers only, straight, unbended in elbow arms. And they were allowed to slap only in the cheek or chin. Otherwise you get a disqualification. In Power Slap, they mostly slap with edge of palm (dont know how it is named correctly in English, it is called "abductor digiti minimi" on pictures) to the temple. Or the reffs are suck and warn for such wrong slaps. Anyway, it is like a hook the head. A hook that it is not allowed to block or dodge. This is not sport!

Yeah, I already saw one of this video long time ago and the fat guy is always starring there. I think the guy is Russian. Could be true since you said it was popular in Russia. The hype then died after some time but I am surprised to see a topic like this, only to know that this sport was still active and even some betting sites already have this now.

Maybe not all games have the same rules and that is why someone can get damaged heavily but they better refrain from doing that, and if not then someone can report them to the authorities. After all, people only want to get entertained but seeing someone die or suffer badly isn't fun anymore. The audience can get guilty too.
