I can vouch for the stunning effect of getting punched in the face, both as puncher and punchee. (Sparring accidents.) Had it been a real fight, the person punching could have easily followed up and won as there are at least several seconds where it's impossible to react at all. Though clearly boxers and other fighters where that normally happens can get used to it.
