Biology/Human anatomy and fighting

Question
I am watching Casino Royale (the new one) on TV tonight. I watch, and have seen many times over the years, people fighting furiously. I never have been in any fight myself, but I would think that if you hit, get hit, by someone else THAT MUCH, it would really tear up your body, possibly putting you in a hospital for weeks. Do you think people can really condition themselves to withstand so many blows? Or is it just movies?
You do not have to know a lot about human anatomy to realize that someone could suffer all that damage and the next moment be perfectly fine. But it would not be much of a story if James Bond got in a fight and wound up in the hospital. It is strickly movie fantasy David
