DLH's chin

Unless he was faking - that Body Shot by B-Hop looked like it hurt.

But if you're just talking about his chin - I can't remember.

 

Oscar is granite chinned...dont forget he started at 130.

 

Granite.

 

DLH has a great chin. The only times I remember him being seriously hurt was from body shots.

 

at 130 he was a bit chinny.

i remember an italian decking him and he was wobbled on a few other fights as well at 130.

as he moved up in weights this chin vunerablity went away.

shows you how making weight affects some fighters chin.

 

great chin the most iv seen hurt was by mosley from consistent body work

 

Like people have said, he's been hurt against Quartey and Mosley. But other than that, despite being floored several times, I haven't seen him truly hurt from a head shot. He has a great chin.

 

vs Giorgio Campanella, Las Vegas, Nevada & vs Narcisco Valenzuela, Phoenix, Arizona

 

at this time there were big question marks over DLH chin, but it was obviously in hindsight weight making that made him vunerable, but hit him clean at 130 and DLH was suspect.

.

 

one of mayweather's right hands made his knees lock up for a sec. just in case you guys forgot.

 

Oscar was never a natural 130 - 135lb guy, you saw the same thing with Cotto recently when he was straining to make 140, it ruins your resistance.

 

The Valenzuela fight was above 130.

Anyway, Oscar has a very good chin. Also, he's generally pretty good defensively and aggressive against the lesser punchers while more defensive against the bigger punchers. Against Trinidad, he used his footwork and movement and defensive skills well and didn't get caught with too many big shots. Quartey did seem to hurt him in round 6 (I think DLH was actually more hurt from a shot after the KD), but Oscar for the most part did a good job of avoiding Quartey's big right hands (the 9th round being an exception when DLH took a monster right hand and came right back firing). Against lesser hitters, DLH is often more aggressive.

So with Oscar having a very good chin and good skills, he's only been stopped once and hurt a low number of times in his career despite facing so many quality opponents.

 

I think Pacquiao is another case of someone moving up in weight and taking shots better, with stronger legs and not being weakened from making weight.
