    This is a question that has been bothering me for a while. What exactly causes those "rubber leg" knockdowns? I heard somewhere that it was because when you're hit on the jaw it jars a nerve that causes your legs to feel like rubber. Is that right? Does anyone have any links to any sites that talk about that? I just watched Tyson vs. Berbick a while ago and now i'm really wondering.

    virus, great post!!!!!

    the vid also shows that the power of the punch is generated in the feet/hip.
    Awesome!

    You didn't know this already? I thought that'd be general knowledge for a boxer?

    I was thinking the same thing..

    Maybe he knew it, and was glad they showed it or something...
