The Benefits of a Flexible Neck?

Not really...

 

Your doing it wrong if you get in a position where somebody can punch you HARD enough to make your head snap around like that (Garcia Morales style)

The brain movement does you in - not neck movement.

More neck movement potentially means more brain movement = worse KO resistance

 

Roll with the punches?

Yes i'm sure Linares would love that ability (He turns his head to the side to 'absorb' punches)

 

Yeah that's where the logic of a "flexible" neck comes in, to assist in rolling with the punches.

Not in absorbing punches.

 

When a fighter gets hit on 'the button' tip of the jaw it's a nervous system reaction...

Only three ways I know of somebody getting KO'd:

Liver bodyshot
Head snap (brain hitting skull)
Hit on the button (Nerve endings)

Never heard about somebody's neck reaching a point which will physically make them go down. enlighten me.

going to bed expect no reply for now

 

A wrong statement. Jaw chin area is actually a KO point.

 

Depending on the direction of the punch rolling with it can be more dangerous.

 

Females have more compliant muscles and tendons so they are more flexible as well, research has shown that females are knocked out by relatively less force than males in contact sports because of that. The opposite of a flexible neck helps, you want a stiff strong neck that doesn't move. The longer your head is being moved around the more torque is generated and the stronger the reaction.

 

you want a strong neck
