Glass Jaws 2016: An Open Symposium

Not funny

 

So what's your point? That all chins are created equal? Fact is, some fighters have better punch resistance that others, and that is as true at the world class level as it is in your local gym.

And there is NOTHING wrong with fans pointing this out, analyzing it as a central factor in the likely outcome of matchups - because, although you may not like it, chins matter in the outcome of boxing matches

Why? Because there are some guys who take a better shot than others. Surely, for example, you wouldn't argue that Wlad Klitschko takes a better punch than, say, Oliver McCall or George Chuvalo did?

 

Another bloody glass jaw thread. You guys are obsessed. Its like a masturbation topic for internet boxing fans.

 

Ward got spagetti legs off a jab round one. And he wants G, what a CLOWN.

 

Absolutely. I had a phase early in my boxing that made me question my power. My trainers told me I had pop in my punches but everytime me and my sparring partner had intense sparring, Id hit him hard only cos he was throwing full power and he'd just shake it off. It wasnt till I got my first knockout victory that I realised my sparring partner had an iron jaw, hes never been dropped but hes not that good a boxer. Hes wobbled me though, numerous times so I think I have a glass jaw, particularly on my right jaw.
