I will grant you this, if Cap is able to land a nerve strike with the edge of that shield, he might be able to disable Cage momentarily. This still only a momentary stop. Even the most well-placed blows have to strike with enough force to damage your opponent. Think about it this way. If a Kali fighter is fighting someone wearing plate mail armor covering all of their nerve points and vulnerable areas, and this armor is skin tight, is the Kali fighter going to be able to find a point where they can deliver a blow that will kill? No, probably not, unless there are gaps in the armor and his opponent makes a mistake. His opponent might not be able to move very well, but the Kali fighter can't get a hit in that will actually do any crippling damage. There we have a stalemate. Now with Cap versus Cage. Cage is basically wearing ultra-flexible plate mail armor. Cap may have a stick that can dent that armor, but a dent (bruise) on Cage heals pretty fast.
