The execution is soooo beautiful Bait with the jab, whyte bites the bait, side step while dodging and perfect uppercut when both are pivoting to get the new position. PERFECT. It has nothing to do with luck. About the glass in whyte's jaw? well, we all pack glass if we are hit hard enough, not a big deal as long as you dont pack as much glass as amir khan. Average jaw I would say, nothing special, not for good, not for bad.
When you get out away like that, the jaw isn't granite. Povetkin though is a known big puncher, he set up the trap and landed it on the button. No-one fights this guy recklessly for a reason.
That was a perfect uppercut Povetkin nailed him with, so its hard to say. Seems he gets hit clean a lot.
Exactly. Most fighters have glass jaws, to one degree or another. The iron chin is the exception, not the rule. Regardless, I am glad that this ARE so common. Seeing Whyte take his canvas nap earlier today was priceless. I am so glad I tuned in to see it live.
Whytes chin is rock solid in the chance of winning the title of the worst chin in heavyweight history
Whyte got hit with a much better punch that any wilder did. Wilder would have been clean out from that shot as would anyone. Fury can't knock people out like that's, he beats you up, he's not a concussive puncher.
Only got to look at Whytes previous fights to know he isn't glass. But credit where it's due that was a beaut of a punch by provetkin. Whyte left himself far too open there
This. Whyte's problem is that he had wars with Chisora and got hurt by every decent puncher he has faced. You can only take so much punishment, at one point your chin will crack. I always said that by the time Whyte gets a title shot his chin will be gone, he's a brawler with a good jab and a nast left hook who gets drawn into a firefight pretty easy.
