wolverine described that he and shield had hit gorgon with everything they had, LCD rockets, flamethrowers, chainsaws, machine guns, teh!1! claws!...nothing was working on the guy, he didn't register damage inflicted on him whatsoever.. which tells me that gamora's pressure points and nerve strikes are practically useless in this fight... She seems to really be limited in what she can actually do to gorgon.... and the guys no slouch without his TP he trained blindfolded, blocked automatic gunfire, and proved himself faster than elektra AND wolverine by comparison.... he also broke a sword to peices with his TEETH.....
gamora would have to fight flawlessly to win this fight, and I don't think that's going to happen, I can't even fathom how she would plan to take him down in the first place.
Gamora also has a quite powerful healing factor. I'll see if I can find the scan in a minute.
A healing factor does not negate pressure points- most pressure points work on the concept of either striking area prone to automatic reflex, or tricking the body. For example,
"The baroreceptor in the carotid artery is pressure-sensitive, allowing the body to control the bloodflow into the brain. Pressure against this region will 'trick' the body into thinking that blood pressure is too high, and thus will constrict and lower blood pressure - which can cause blackout."
That's one specific example of tricking the body. As you can see, a healing factor would, if anything, work against someone if this were to happen.
And Gamora DOES fight flawlessly. She's more then likley the best MA in the Marvel universe. Between her skill and her speed/strength, I'm willing to bet she can take the majority.
Theres still the matter of the match WITH telepathy as well...
