Can a fighter do anything to improve their chin?

i didnt read all that ****. i still stand by my statement. conditioning betters recoverytime and can be the diffrence from being dropped to being counted out.

neck exercises better the ability to take a punch in general.

as for u saying im not a boxer. if someone plays basketball hes a basketball player, if someone competes at boxing hes a boxer. a real boxer, not one of those dudes that hang a heavybag in their basement and say they box.

anyways, good luck finding the balls to get in the ring yourself instead of just acting hard on the internet.

God man I am confused now. Because I could have swore you were the one acting like an internet tough guy. Saying things to act like an expert that can not be proved. I guess you are all mixed up.

In closing....since you did not take the time to read or educate yourself.....all the neck exercises in the world will not protect the brain stem.

From what I understand it's generally the snapping of the neck that causes the brain to shift and thus cause a concussion. So having a strong neck through neck work should help.

It would absolutely help. But keep in mind most KO's occur from a punch you were not prepared to endure. A straight right behind a blinding jab.....a left hook after a faint with the straight right...... etc....

Some people's brain stems are more sensitive to concussive blunt force than others. Strength training will do nothing to change that fact.

It's certainly true that's there's many factors involved but for many there really is nothing you can do but neck work would offer some improvement and hence his question.
