It's not that Kasidis's chin is weak or strong, is the fact that he's got too much heart and cojones made out of brass that he's able to absorb so much punishment and come back right at you after getting battered like he usually does. He's got a good chin but it's not iron made like Margarito's or Andrade's for that matter.
Great shot, right on the jaw,OUCH. Katsidis should have taken a knee , regrouped and maybe he would have survived. He got up immediately and sometimes having too much heart is a negative, it can cloud your judgement.
When you walk into a punch it can make the punch seem harder than it really is. Casamayor has never been known for being a heavy hitter but Kasidis walked right into that left hook and actually helped the punch by lunging the way he did.
He came in very reckless in that round and paid the price for it. That was inexperience right there, he was beating Casamayor up, so he just lost respect for the left that dropped him twice in the first round.
No matter how "weak" a fighter's punch may be, any man can hurt another man with a properly placed and timed punch.
