People can get KOED easly if they dont see a punch comming. most people with good chins just know how to anticipate. juan urango for example. i beleive besize the fact that hes the most built and muscular hulk built guy at 140. He knows hes slow and that he will get hit so thats how he could normally take bombs we thought that chin was ****ing invincible yea he got the best chin at 140 cant dispute that. Alexander KOED him with an uppercut lifted urango off the ground (im surprised he got up so quick). Chances are if he saw that punch comming he probably wouldnt go down. Do you think any1 will be able to K.O him with an uppercut again? Fighters all find ways to adapt. If you were to fight someone and they hit you with a clean livershot and it makes you take a knee. More than likely if the guy hit you again with a livershot. It would still hurt but you wont take a knee. now with wlad. besize the fact that he protects that egg shell he would be more likely to anticapate shots because he would realize that he can be hit. If each of those guys got in a rematch with wlad he would be more likely to resist those shots. same with khan. if he fought breidis prescot again Breidis could hit khan with the same shot and khan would likely not get dropped because of the fact that he would expect it and brace (anticipation) its the fighters mentality that makes people more likely to resist a shot. why would khan fight maidana knowing maidana is way better than prescott and hits harder than prescott? do you guys think maidana would KO khan like prescott did? not saying maidana cant KO khan but Maidana isnt gonna go into this fight and just one punch khan and call it a night. Humans adapt to stresses put on their body. Fighters adapt.
Anticipating the shot may improve Khan's ability to take it slightly. But it doesn't dispel the fact that he is chinny. Unless he takes Maidana's bombs quite well (which I doubt), there's no evidence to suggest otherwise.
if you fought someone that Dropped you in 10 seconds if they fought you again and hit you with the same shot you probably wouldnt fall. wether you see it or not. because of the fact that you adapt. the same punch would rock you and daze you. it would probabably take the 2nd punch to drop you. but because you adapt you wont be knocked out easily. not saying that its good to take punches because ofcourse it would **** you up in the long run. floyd mayweather for example. not only he has good defensive ability but he is capable of taking a good shot. he probably has taken some hits in his amature days and sparring matches. even tho his way of fighting is to not take hits. but if he never got hit or rarely ever got hit. he wouldnt be able to recover from such a powerful hit from shane. he survived early rounds from judah where he got hit alot but then he later on adapted. floyd might not take punishment in fights like the average person but he has been hit enough to be able to resist some hard blows. Floyd does know what its like to get hit.
This content is protected Please man. You do not wake up one morning and discover you have grown a chin. It's like power. You either have it or you don't. Sure anyone can be ko'd by a punch they don't see coming but that's different then having a weak chin. For all their skills both Wlad and Khan could be knocked out by a flying rogue ham sandwich hurled into the ring from the parking lot. Cobb and Chuvalo were born with chin. These two were not.
A lot of lower weight fighters, like Khan, will have a good chin one fight and then get smoked the next: Weight cutting! The weight cutting some fighters go through before fights is CERTAINLY a factor in taking shots... Wlad has no such excuse...
the problem is with wlad is no one has really tested wlads chin for ages when was the last time someone with a punch caught him clean - if someone gets past his jab at the mo thats a close fight
Aint nobody born with the ability to take brutal punishment to the face that just makes no danm sence
Khan is and always will have a bad chin. If that Prescott loss was a one off, why has Khan adopted the safety first style of keeping at distance, utilising the jab more than ever to keep fighters at bay, and never fighting inside or trading? It's because he has a BAD CHIN. He always will have. I might be a Khan fan, but this is reality. My favourite fighter does not have a good chin, although I do pray for him to be in victorious in whichever bout he comes across (Inshallah).
He didnt duck maidana. and maidana is a better fighter than prescott i doubt he thinks hes gonna keep maidana away the 1st shot. i doubt he thinks hes going to survive 12 rounds without getting hit.
