Worrying about your chin??

[Gojira]

I feel terrible after going on anything that spins but in my 4 years of boxing im yet to get dropped or hurt.

Yu want the best possible chin? start taking HGH or steroids (Or a High protein diet lol), strengthen yur neck muscles, and combine this with proper boxing training sessions where yu stretch yur neck to allow better movement, and loads of sparring leaving yourself open to get yur chin tested.
All of dis = better chin...

I think people need to discover what causes concussions. (kayo = being concussed)

Find that out and you will find how to prevent being kayoed.

Well strengthening the neck DOES help..TS are u sayen it doesnt? i dont want to misunderstand u....the rotation of head and pressure on the nerves in chin cause a KO usually...a stronger neck ='s less head movement..this is what wiki says..
There is little known about what exactly causes one to be knocked unconscious but many agree it has to do with minor trauma to the brain stem. This usually happens when the head rotates sharply, often caused by a strike.

A clean punch flush on yur jaw or yur chin straight underneath the mouth n your goin down, with enough power, a punch right spot on yur temple will also shake yu up or drop yu, (Unless yu got the chin of Rampage Jackson Lol) If yu got a skinny head n some big ass indented temples yu will probably really struggle in boxing or MMA Lol

I didn't say it doesnt help. Every exercise helps. Usually neck work out help you to prevent injuries and build it stronger. Your head won't bounce with strong neck as well. I don't those people who posted before, have troubles with roller rides, but they can take hell of a punch. If you throw up after riding a roller coaster, you most likely going to get dropped by a decent punch. May be you don't have a problem with your vistibular system at all.

Most coaches and good boxers will tell you this. Meanwhile my buddy that I know for many years, can't get on pro lvl and he competes only inside national tournaments. he has problems and he can't train or make it better at all. The only thing is a quick surgery or whatever it is, where they put those little things/balls inside your ears back on the place. they just started doing this type of surgs, so Im not sure how they called.

@Rockin, you probably never had that kind of problem, so eventually exercise for your neck helped you out. however it's not major point of getting dropped.

Flicker is on the same road with me

Its an interesting theory. I'd like to know if any research has been carried out in this area.

But I'm another who gets seasick and hates fairground rides and being dizzy......but have never been dropped with a head punch. Maybe I'm secretly chinny but haven't been exposed by the right punch yet! Ha ha

our vestibular system is the system responsible for equilibrium during motion.
It consists of 3 semi-circular canals in your inner ears. These canals are filled with a liquid that spins as your head moves. This spinning liquid relays information to your brain about your movement, it keeps you from falling down, essentially telling you which way is up.

For the fitness enthusiast it means not falling on your butt when slipping on ice. For athletes and fighters it means staying on your feet when getting hit by an opponent.
