What is the best way to block an uppercut? If you have both hands up near the center of your face.

Trying to use your elbows to block it - leaves too much room open.

Trying to block it with your palm - way too narrow a target and lots of room to miss.

There must be a good way? I know it's hard to defend but it can't be impossible?

Footnote: Props and shout out to the original thread author "Madskilz", he posted this in the MMA fourmn and I wanted to see how it would do here in the boxing forumn.
