    There are fighters who deserve the label glass jaw, but to say "most fighters have shaky chins", to imply getting knocked down let alone out suggests a glass chin is outright moronic and indeed disrespectful.

    Glass jaws exist in boxing deniers. Accept it, you'll feel better!

    The kid didn’t show a glass jaw. He got tired.

    Lots of fighters get tired in the late rounds, denier, not all of them get KOd. Fighters with less than sturdy punch resistance DO!!

    I’m pretty sure anyone here with common sense saw Yarde give a great effort and didn’t come away saying “Yarde has a glass jaw” after being stopped in the 11th round of an exciting fight by a solid puncher in Kovalev.

    Does Kovalev have a glass jaw? He was stopped twice. He seems to be either hiding it well or protecting himself better. But then again Joe Louis said it best. You can run, but you can’t hide!

    Kovalev is doing a hell of a job hiding that jaw. Too bad fighters have heart, skill, determination and will.

    He certainly did give a great effort and showed he belongs at the top - but he also showed a notable flaw: a suspect mandible. The video clearly shows this:

    Goodness gracious, a JAB knocked this guy out. If that doesn't raise questions about his ability to take a punch at the world class level, I don't know what will!!

    A jab knocked him out but several right hands and left hooks on the button didn't even flinch him...

    When Yarde and Kovalev were trading power shots during the bout it was Yarde who seemed more unphased.

    This doesn't look like a sturdy mandible to me!

    Questions have certainly been raised about Yarde's ability to take a world-class punch off this fight. It remains to be seen, however, how he answers these questions. This KO, while not indicating stellar punch resistance, may turn out to be a fluke.

    Kovalev tenderized Yarde's chin for 10 rounds then Shattered it with a Jab in the 11th... Yarde's chin is now as Fragile as Candy Glass made in Chinese Sweatshops for Hollywood Stunts...

    Now you can look forward to Yarde getting KO'd many times in the future unless he takes the Tyson Fury route and only fights professional Cab Drivers to pad his record for his adoring Brit fans...

    Did Dustin Nichols spar with Kovalev to teach him the Check-Jab Technique that he used to drop Beyoncé Wilder and make Wilder crawl around on the canvas?
