      getting hit flush to the jaw is no joke, doesn't need a whole lot of power to hurt you. Or maybe your nephew was wearing Margarito gloves.

                neck training can help significally

                I use to spar this guy at my Muay Thai gym who had tremendous speed and great skill but kept getting dropped by some of the guys in our gym since he started working his neck since the beginning of the year hes been able to take shots much better

                    I read a lot of good stuff here and a lot of it is really good advice. Obviously neck strength is a major thing for less necksnapping and whiplash - That will keep your equilibrium in balance so you don't fall over every time you get hit good, on the chin or not. Conditioning will help you by keeping your overall nervous system active and the endurance will also help your recovery, so you don't get smacked and get k.o.'d due to being worn out. I also seen someone mention keeping your chin down... That's probably one of the best pieces of advice for someone with or without a good chin. I knocked out people in the amateurs because they didn't keep their chins down and we wore head gear.

                    Howver, I am not sure you can "build" a chin. You may just have to elevate every other piece of your overall boxing so that it's never a problem.

                    Get hit more IMO, learn to recover fast... LOL.

                      Keeping your chin down is a huge benefit when it comes to taking shots. One of my favorite exercises in the gym that helped me with that was taking a tennis ball and tucking it under my chin while I do my bag and mitt work. If you can get to the point where you can throw all your punches, move around and not drop the tennis ball from under your chin that alone will be a huge help for a novice.
