    Now here's somebody who GETS it! Glass jaws are everywhere in boxing - in fact, MOST fighters have them to one degree or another.:yep

    Glass jaws EXIST fanboys. And we're gonna talk about 'em here at ESB!

    It was a perfect shot that would have hurt almost any fighter. Mares needs some rest and back to the drawing board. Very humble and respectful taking this loss, much respect for both fighters.

    Yeah, might be another Roy Jones-type situation. In his prime, Jones was SO great, his shaky chin didn't matter. But once his ATG-level athletic ability started to desert him, it was goodnight.

    Might be the same with Mayweather.....

    Mayweather is 36 and has been fighting for 17 years. If you still think he's hiding glass, then what makes you think that you'll find out soon if that's true?

    He wasn't hiding any china, he's just been sparked off a real banger. Thing is though he was massively over rated and I don't see why he was rated so highly.

    How exactly was Mares over rated?.. He's consistently fought top opposition and has shown the ability to adapt to certain styles... For example look at Mares' performance vs PDL and Broners. The latter is massively over rated, he has the skill to potentially be great but not the resume..

    :patsch.. So many of you so called boxing fans seem clueless about the sweet science... If you've never boxed/sparred a round in your life then cool it with the chin talk because you keyboard warriors would get sparked :lol:

    It's 100% the same with May.

    Dude's who don't grow up taking shots, can't take repeated huge shots when it becomes time. Think about, dude's with chins.. tended to get hit flush a lot.. they learned how to deal with it.. guys like RJJ? He never took shots.. never adjusted.

    A lot of parallels between his KO and Amir Khan against Prescott. Pure unadulterated glass

    Vic Darchinyan was hitting him with bombs and didn't score the KO. Mares was the naturally smaller fight vs a true featherweight.

    The amount of people on here that deny Glass Jaws is hilarious. This is ESB when Glass gets Shattered we WILL talk about it on here. That is a Fact.

    No matter how many times some china chinned fighter gets his fragile whiskers shattered, you still have the glass jaw deniers coming out of the woodwork saying "but that punch would have KOd a killer whale" or some such unprovable nonsense.:patsch:lol:
