One of the ways to reduce the impact of a punch is to move into it as you block. Take a haymaker. If you move INTO the haymaker, you cut off it's range of motion. Sure it still stings, but you reduce the knockout power and you move into an advantageous position, being on the inside with their arm on the outside & unable to attack again.
