A theory on how to improve your chin!!!

[Rockin']

The strenght of a fighters neck will play in how well a fighter accepts blows with out being knocked out or stunned, but it is not a great factor in the equation. In Gattis case, I believe that his dehydration process of lossing weight affects how well he takes shots. The brain is surrounded in the skull by a thin layer of fluid which absorbs some of the impact of the blow before the brain collides with the skull. Gatti, having dried out for so long to make weight, most likely has depleated this fluid to some degree causing the "shock absorber" to dry out as well. Thus his brain collides greater with the skull.

The hook or cross to the jaw area produces rapid twisting of the brain, which results in bleeding and wide spread trauma to fibrouse tissue, from white matter to the base of the brain.

The straight punch or heavy jab snaps the head backward, which produces tears in the cerebellum and damage to the brain stem.

The downward blow to the side of the face and neck compresses the main artery to the brain and therefore stops the flow of blood to the brain.

The head landing against the canvas or ropes thrusts the brain against the skull, which causes tears to the front sides of the brain.

Inside of our skulls, on the back side of the skull, is a boney ridge called the sphenoidal ridge. This ridge causes tears in the frontal lobes which are ultimately damaging. That is why rabbit punching is against the rules.

The neck comes into play with the punches in the fact that if one was to take a straight blow but had a strong neck, the neck would not give as much thus leaving less damage to the brain stem.

With hooks and crosses it has a similar effect of making the twisting of the neck and head less, therefore reducing, but not eliminating the twisting of the brain.

If you are struck in the back of the head there is nothing to reduce the effects. The spenodial ridge is going to tear directly into the brain. With the straight punches the brain will first bounce against the front of the skull and then rebound into the sphenodial ridge, still tearing into the brain but not as severe as the rabbit punch.

As well, taking a shot between the chin and the point of the jaw is damaging but is considered the cleanest sort of knock out. Temporarily shuting off consciousness or motor impulses.....Rockin'

I think those direct punches to the jaw produce more pain than anything..It's when the head is rocked when true knockouts occur.

A few fights to refer to:

Golota's first knockdown of Rid**** Bowe, you'll notice that the punch wasnt all that hard or accurate, it landed around the hairline/scalp area...but the head jerk caused Bowe's legs to become unstable and he went to the ground.

Moorer's knockdown of Jirov, you'll notice how it was a well placed basic right hand that caused that head jerk and Jirov's legs became unsteady and he fell to the ground.

Actually from experience as well as observances...Although i'm not a registered boxer at the current moment, I have boxed and fought so I know my personal acceptances to punches and where they are placed..............Do I sound farfetched or somethin to u?, Lemme know..........REPREZENTIN'

PS: Would u happen to be Rodney Moore?

Rodney Moore sounds familiar, was he out of Detroit?

The shots to the front, but more so to the side, of the head cause ones equalibrium to go and they will fold and lean to all different directions. Thats why Bowes knees buckled.

The shots directly to the chin will cut off your motor impulses and make you see what I call the white. The white haze that takes over your vision. The shots to the chin are the cleanest knockouts in boxing. If you see the shot coming your body seems to set for the shot therefore not neccesarily dropping you, but you will see the white. Its the ones that you dont see coming, ala the uppercuts, that will drop you quickest and hardest.

No, what you said does not sound far fetched but it was alittle off in accuracy to me.

How many fights have you had and how many years have you been fighting?..........Rockin'

No doubt the ones on the chin will cause u to see the "white" mainly becuz the chin is like the focal point of the movement of the head...kinda like the handle, a shot to the chin will cause the head to jar more than any other place...The ones on the jaw usually cause more pain than any real "white" visions..........I never fought on paper, but I been into boxing for about 5 or 6 years now, I plan on finally getting registered very very soon, at about the 155 amateur class...I walk around at about 162 and i figure after training and gaining the mass that will come from boxing training as well as losing the undesirable water weight i'll be just right at 155.

Oh, and Rodney fought out of Philly.

once you get into the fighting part of it with the 10oz gloves you will know what Im talking about with seeing the white haze. Then if you ever fight with the 8oz pro gloves you will know exactly what I am talking about.........Rockin'

I'll try to avoid that.
