When did the temple become the chin in boxing?

[TonyGe]

Yes. Refs tend to overlook it for some reason. I guess it's about not taking the fun out of the fight.

If it's accidental fine. Sometimes a fighter turns his head to avoid the punch and gets hit that's unavoidable. If it happens to often the referee should step in. I've seen it in a clinch when on guy has a hand free. That should a warning then a point if it continues.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

LOL none of this has anything to do with what I said



I think heavyweights taking shots to the temple will always do the wobbly leg dance. Heck Fury dropped like a bad habit against Cunningham. These are big, 200+lb men, I really don't think heavyweights have "bad chins" unless you're someone like Price.

There are average chins and great chins...average resilience and great resilience.

My bad. I guess I read your post out of context.

Saying temple is part of the chin is like saying when boxers can take liver shots which would fcck up anyone, it means they don't have a good chin and aren't resilient. I only expect people who have never boxed to come to that conclusion.

No human being has supersaiyan body that can withstand temple and liver shots. Boxers don't get caught often in those places but if and when they do - they're getting fccked up. Those spots have nothing to do with the chin.

People also act like boxers from the past don't get hurt. I've been watching a lot of boxing from the 90s during the lockdown and those guys who people claimed had great chins were getting hurt in every round with big bombs. The only difference is that PED testing wasn't that rampant then and they were mostly juiced up hence most of them are mentally impaired now because the PEDs gave them recovery during fights with long term effects they're dealing with now.

You're a dummy.

Name one boxer in history that has taken a perfect temple shot and not folded.
Chin is called chin for a reason. If you have boxed, I don't need to explain the meaning of getting hit flush to you.

Mosley hit Floyd with a temple shot and Floyd didnt react like Joshua

Shut up.

Mosley never caught Floyd with a perfect temple shot. He caught Floyd flush on the chin once and Floyd was on his way down then he held Mosley to gain control. The other punch was on the side of Floyd's face.

Why are you lying for? Ruiz landed on the temple at the perfect spot.

This is Floyd vs Mosley highlight

AJ got hit high on the side of his head, behind the temple. That scrambles your brain and fluids in the brain. More concussions, confusion, messes up your balance, etc.

Temple shots are more dangerous. The skull bone is thinnest there ... strokes, seizures, hematomas often result from temple blows. Even worse if the skull gets fractured and cuts/breaks arteries or veins (again very thin bone there). Guys can take temple shots, appear fairly ok, go home and hours or days later be in life threatening positions.

Boxing is dangerous (with gloves ... crazy dangerous without). Protect yourself at all times. This is why it's so important for referees to quickly notice and stiop fights where a fighter is not able to protect himself. Too many fights go too long nowadays (mostly thanks to fighters protesting).

Also why MMA fights are stopped so suddenly.

Chin shots are dangerous because jawbones get moved ... into the brain and/or inner ear. With time they usually go back to their original position, but it takes A Lot Of Time.

Fighters that get "chinned" too often, or don't allow time for their bones to properly re-align do become "chinny", in that a much smaller force can move the jawbone easily (even a child running into your face could do it).

Fighters that endure "bad" (i.e. very hard) chin knockouts should be suspended at least a year, probably two ... for the longterm health of the fighter. When they come back too soon, chin knockouts usually change the trajectory of a fighters career ...

Julio Cesar Chavez sr had a cat scan performed in 1990 after fighters complained about hurting they’re hands on his head the scan later revealed Chavez had an abnormally thick cranium.

Chavez was one of the few fighter that was born to fight.
