    He did take some clean power shots.
    The dude kept getting up tho. . If his chin was "glass" he would had been pac'd by a few of those shots. Dudes that keep getting up can't have glass chins.

    And yes that term is way over used. The majority on here don't have a clue what a good or bad chin really is.

    Someone gets ko'd and they have a glass chin. And they think it's a fact. **** most on here don't even understand what a fact is

    Can you explain Boxers that have had zero defense getting hit flush over and over and not going down? You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Glass Jaws exist in Boxing and we WILL discuss them on here. Got it?

    Gamboa is not an example of a glass chin. He has an average chin. If he put his damn hands up he probably wouldn't ben be getting knocked down, lol.

    Glass does exist but, too many fighters are labeled due to getting stopped

    People said Groves had glass chin after his last loss... The punch Froch landed would have anyone up to 175 shook up at the least, lol.

    Why it is stupid: anyone if not deffend his chin will go tkoed. Some boxers especially latino-americans are trained to hit on chin exactly. Chin is not protected by bones naturally - and causes tremendous vibration spread on brain . Roach also train this with ortodox boxers. It is difference with pro and amateur boxers, the latter do not focus on that. They hit on head since trained so. Whereas pro trained to catch boxer on chin. Lara vs Angulo, Korobov vs Edwards are clear examples. Rigondo, Lomachenko they dont use punch on chin. They are amateur sportsmen more. Even Mayweather outbox his opponents often. But he has shoulder roll to protect his chin from hooks.
