    Just life in it? Some have massive cocks, some dont, some can eat loads and not get fat, some cant etc etc

    Khan learning the basics defensively would be a start on protecting his dodgy chin mind

    I can only guess at nerve placement and amount brain moves about/closeness to skull?No idea really.

    Well it's all to do with how much someone's brain moves around in their head when caught with a punch and how their reaction to that is.


    Obviously someone like Wayne McCullough has a brain which doesn't move around much when he's hit or else his system is affected to much when it is(for whatever scientific reason). Khan's brain presumably rattles around like a basketball because he has one of the worst chins I've ever seen on a fighter of his quality.

    Genetics: a short neck is very important in my opinion.

    Bare in mind techniques can help when talking about punch resistance. I'm not talking about none of this strengthening chin muscle crap.

    I'm talking about rolling with the punch, making sure they hit you on the forehead instead of bang on the chin or nose, trying to keep your head as still as possible etc.

    if a person has a small brain then it hits harder the innerside of the skull because the distance between brain and skull is bigger than with case of a big brain. >:)

    I assume Khan had a very small one =)

    if you want to strengthen your chin you should work on your neck muscles it helps little bit because your head doesnt get moved so easily by a punch.

    there are a few theory's...

    when you get hit on the jaw it moves and rattles (obvious), now the jaw is connected to the ear, the ear is where your body's balance/equilibrium is.

    (the cochlea is the place that has liquid and minut hairs that calculate your balance.

    so a jack hammer pummling next door is gonna make you lose your balance. also there is the medulla oblongata which is a part of the brainstem that send and recieves signals...majorly for this case autonomic functions. meaning that your legs go under neath you your legs go splaying and your body doesnt respond right.

    also arteries in your brain getting closed for a brief moment and then being reopened,causes your conciusness to shut down and turn on agian in a very short amount of time.

    look how huge those arteries are. have you ever got a dead leg when your mate punches you in the thigh and it just goes numb......same thing





    a few people on esbs training forum say that being knocked out is like your alarm clock waking you up in the morning after you had a hard night out. you dont know where you are what your suppose to be doing but your in a rush to do it



    these arnt facts im just using logic.

    Most fighters with grade A china chins have long, slim necks: Khan, Wlad etc etc

    Khan showed he can take a punch and the 8 week training camp specially for defense sure payed off
