Dude, he has a weak chin.
theres been alot of threads about this here & at suredog, Search
Info, are you being serious? I have always thought that KO's generally happen from the brain hitting against the skull. I know having a mouth piece in will help you from getting ko'd, but has there ever been anything shown(exercises) to give someone a "stronger chin"?
Not really. There are a lot of things that can give someone a good chin, but pretty much all of it is genetic. All you can do is strengthen your neck muscles and keep your chin tucked. And, well...not get hit.
The majority of "chin" is your posture and vision. Good boxers seem to have good chins because they never get too upright nor stand with their heads sticking out. MMA guys do that all the time.
The other part is familiarity with striking. You develop good vision by getting lots of shots thrown at you. You see it coming, you're less likely to get knocked out. A stiff jab will put you down if you don't see it. Also, a flash knockdown in MMA will often end a fight, so guys with supposed weak chins in MMA often are just victims of early stoppage.
Take Shots
Thread OVER
you can work on neck strength.... the stronger your neck the better your
chin will be relative to yourself. but some people do seem to just have
good chins naturally.
alot of kos happen when your head jerks around alot hence keeping your
chin down to relieve some of the jerky movement if you get hit. if you
train boxing or kickboxing youll notice alot of guys doing workouts with
weights doing neck exercises not the say all be all but it can help.
good chin is mental and physical. the more hard shots you take the weaker your 'chin' becomes
you can do neck exercises... but if you have glass jaw you have a glass jaw
this is just an educated guess, but...
grove probably has what might be called a 'weak chin' because his neck is so weak. He's so tall and gangly and has a very thin neck. The only thing that can really prevent KO's (your brain bouncing inside the skull) is to have a very strong neck, keep the neck tucked, and not get hit.
"He's so tall and gangly and has a very thin neck."
There's a reason no one ever thinks "tall, pencil neck, lanky guy" when they think of what makes a tough as nails fighter. You always wind up with guys looking like Marciano. Thick through the trunk, stout neck, powerful legs.
