    Chincheckers coming out full force again.

    Everytime a fighter gets stopped, no matter how his career went, he sudenly has a glass chin. Even when stopped with a bodyshot.
    I remember PeeWee suddenly having a glass chin according to some after Maravilla KO'd him.

    He does now. Just like RJJ his punch resistance just eroded subtly while his reflexes faded due to age until all of a sudden he can't take a shot. Because his chin is weakened and he doesn't see the punches coming anymore.

    If he fights anyone remotely dangerous again in the next year and gets KOd again,he will go to sleep from even a light breeze.

    The closer stoppage losses are to each other the worse the effect is on punch resistance. Back to back KO losses are damn near impossible to come back from.


    It happened to Meldrick Taylor too
