    I was watching these and just wondering how it feels to just totally be knocked out....not unconscious because i could imagine what being knocked unconscious is like... its just out of nowhere you black out... then when your vision is restored a bunch of people are asking you if your ok... but im talking about how these guys are getting knocked out.... made extremely dizzy but not totally unconscious

    like how is it possible that someone punches you in the face and it disables complete control of your arm's & legs........

    fighters try to get up by using their arm as a support but their arm's just crumble under the weight...

    not trying to make fun of anyone but who has been knocked out before and can you explain what it feels like?

    Those are two examples of Glass Jaws right there. Both are 100% pure Grade A China.

    It's kind of weird to be honest. When you "come too", it seems like years have passed and you really don't know whats going on.

    I remember one time I was out on my ATV and I was hopping over a fallen tree. The front end bucked up on me, and my handle bar hit me right in the chin, knocked me out cold on the spot. I came too about 5 seconds later on the other side of the log, my thumb pinned on ther throttle going about 35 mph headed straight at a tree. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was where I was, I just knew that if I didn't brake quick, I was gonna be in a world of hurt....

    It's not dissimilar to losing consciousness

    I dont think the zab so much has glass jaw... i dont think he gave his body a chance to find equilibrium he didnt know how to react by getting dropped so he tried to throw himself up super fast and his body was confused so it reacted how it did..

    amir kahn just got hit with some great shots.... one on top of the head to which would force concussive damage to his back & neck and the 2nd one str8 to the temple...

    hahahahah i just find it amazing that the body is almost paralyzed.. its crazy

    I remember when our center(196cm, 96kg, build like Kevin Garnett) hit me with his elbow on my chin while turning for a jumper...lights out...lights in, I'm sitting on the bench with the whole team watching me.

    Ive never been knocked out completely unconscious, Alot of times I will get hit with a hard shot and it will go completely black for a second or two but ive never fallen on to the ground from it, it isn't really painful at first, It's after your sights back you will feel dizzy/off balance and feel a headace.

    Ive always found the shots that do this to me are the ones that hit the very back corner of my jaw just below the ear.

    I think being knocked out is worse mentally than physically, it looks worse than it is. Ive never been knocked out before, is it like being drunk?

    After you come to you really have no realization of what had happened. There's a certain amount of time that you don't recall at all, which I imagine is largely based on the severity of the knockout. I was walking around, or I should say wobbling around for three or four minutes of which I have no recollection of. As far as the physical pain, i don't recall the punch that did it, nor did it feel any different afterwards or in the following days.

    A good shot and your vision is like when the reception goes bad on the TV. A great shot and it's lights out When you come to again, you've lost track of time and you don't know what's happened (short term memory loss).

    Sounds like you have a Glass Jaw.
