Just watched it again, tell me Amir Khan has not become the first boxer to increase his 'chin' attributes, it's surreal almost like a Fight Night game, he's hired a new coach (Freddie Roach) after an early 'legacy mode' set back and the coach has come with a +5 Chin bonus.
haha no need to be so rude bro. I'm just messing, don't get me wrong, Khan was in 'stun mode' for 2 of the 3 minutes but im just saying he didn't touch canvas, it's not as if Maidana didn't manage to connect whilst Khan ran from him with wobbly legs is it?
Having a chin just means you can take your opponents best shot and keep on your feet. If he had no chin, he would have met the mat.
If anyone think Khan still has a glass jaw is a ****** and needs to visit a doctor. And for those who say well it was the 10th round Maidana did not have the full power in his shots, well what about when Maidana landed 2 bombs in the first min of round 1 and bombs again in round 3 and again in round 7 and so on. Stop Hating
Wait til that china chin gets shattered again nuthughers! It's gonna happen too. As sure as hard punches crack glass, Kon's fragile mandible WILL shatter!
Not exactly true.. chin really just means punch resistance. Maidana has terrific punch resistance, he got tagged cleanly multiple times without any noticeable effect. Maidana landed one nice shot on Khan and it was ***** street for 5+ minutes.
Maidana landed two flush straight right hands right on Khan's jaw in the very first round of the fight. Khan didn't even flinch. we all saw it. You cannot deny that it happened.
Damn!!! whats wrong with you...seriously. The kid can't win.....i for one thought it had a glass jaw, but you have to now say, he has a decent beard. I mean come on in that 10th he got tagged multiple times from the hardest hitting 140lb fighter. 27 KOs in what 29/30 fights....yea he deserves credit.
can't wait to hear michiganwarrior's definition of chin. i'm downloading this fight right now..can't wait to see it.
His chin has not improved, what has improved is his movement in the ring, he is using his legs alot more to evade shots or so that he does not get caught flush... you cant improve your ability to take a shot to the chin, to the body maybe, but the chin, you either have a button or you dont
Well yes you can actually. Things like balance and re-distribution of weight to the legs ie Khan. He did get caught flush multiple times and stood when many others were KO'd by Maidana. Well not many, most.
Khan took some brutal shots that fight. Seems like moving up to 140 was the smartest move of his career
