The question always is whether these chinese monks will be able to use this ability spontaneously in a stressful situation like a real fight without having time to prepare. Conditioning the stomach against blows like a boxer does is relatively straightforward - in striking martial arts, you are taught to forcefully exhale (and thus automatically clench your abdominal muscles hard) whenever you practice a punch, and you test that ability not only in 'abstract' exercises but also in free sparring so it becomes an automated reflex. I once shared a changing room with some of these orange-clad Shaolin fighters who were invited as a 'supporting act' for a famous motivational speaker; they were all very short and looked kinda delicate .. I wouldn't give them much chance against a trained heavyweight boxer, supernatural abilities or no.
I think thats asking too much because there must be pretty tall and heavy monks, and besides that something our muay thai teacher explained to us was things like the different rules on kick boxing, muay thai and full contact, fights for different pourposes will have different rules, what I want to say I saw a regular sized prob american Ju Jitsu fighter take on a body builder wich was profetional, and he couldnt make it against the strong looking guy (JuJitsu guy), he was not a body builder but at some point he recived damage from the body builder but he (again Ju Jitsu guy) got I think his leg or arm on a lock and made him tap out, body builder was not a boxer but he was masive compared to the ju jitsu and it was a very real fight in a dojo, with probably not a big monetization that I hate for example.
