People that have never punched a face can't be ready for what it is actually like. My ring-finger has a 2in scar down to the bone just from teeth on a glancing hit. Getting stitched up later, when they found out it was from a human mouth they said they really had to deep clean it....as in pull it apart and SCRUB IT, before suturing the wound.
