Bradley has an IRON CHIN

Khan has a glass chin with a good heart...

Bradley has a Good chin, with an IRON heart...

Different.

 

Khan is all heart too. His chin is just much weaker than Brad's and he can't come back.

 

Khan would be knocked out in the first round.

 

This. Timmy's chin is FAR from iron, but it's a lot better than Khan's.

A Mere would have been out cold from the right hand Bradley got rocked with in the first.

 

No, he doesn't.

 

i think its just the strength in his legs that keeps him up
the guy refuses to go down

 

Too much heart.

 

Bradley's chin/recovery (and conditioning) reminds me of Calzaghe's- they may get knocked down, but they just keep on fighting even if it's a hellacious shot.

Although, it's a little concerning that tonight was the first time in Bradley's career he hasn't immediately stormed back from getting knocked down or taking huge shots. Even in the Holt fight, he's right up in Kendall's grill immediately. Tim got damaged tonight....I've never seen him take that long to recover.

Whoever Bradley fights next, I hope he takes a solid 6 months off before hand.

Props to both men for putting in a warrior's effort!

 

old man in the sea

 

His recovery ability is great, remember that monster left Holt landed on him ? Same thing, guy recovered fast as ****,.....

 

His Bambi legs are what lets him down, he's got a strong chin/neck and all the heart in the world but his legs can't hold him up, and his ankles keep breaking. If he had strong legs no one could knock him down or out.

 

He got up well enough against Garcia.

My point wasn't to compare their chins but to compare how a fighter's conduct is perceived depending on who it is. Khan wobbles nearly out on his feet against Maidana, people use it as evidence his chin is glass. Tim wobbles around the ring multiple times against a puncher in Provodnikov, and he's iron.

 

He said he got concussed... I think the first punch that caught him and hurt him messed up his brain, and he did the best he could

Which was still enough to win

 

The difference, Maidana throws awkward improper punches... They only had the effect they had on Ortiz becuz it was a brawl

Provi threw like a real professional, sharp hard shots... Provi would destroy Khan
