    If you get up without much of a problem don't worry so much about it, everyone goes down...only advice i can give is to work on blocking and dodging...because if he just grazes you you'll stay up easier...oh and try some balance techniques

      Yeah, the chin is more of a natural gift. Some fighters like Marciano can take a punch, others can't. While you can condition your body with a medicine ball it's not recomended to do the same to your head! lol

      The more you box the better you will learn to react to punches. You will stop wincing and hopefully stay up right. Although the best thing is to not get hit. Work on your defense.

        Triggerhappy..
        There are TONS of GREAT fighters that have been knocked down in sparring, but seem to be unstoppable in fights..

        Once you learn to relax more, you will be able to take shots better..

        Also, from what I read in a lot of books, when you fight, you get so much adrenaline, that you hardly feel punches...

          One thing that may help a little is strengthening the neck. A really good article about that is here:

                  It could have a lot to do with you overall trap/neck durability.

                  There are various exercises but I'm far too throwed to go into em right now.

                    triggerhappy, if its balance u have nuthin to worry about, its nuthin. do u feel dizzyness or any black out feelin when you fall or any signs of a headache after the spar? if not then balance is nuthin really. and triggerhappy has pretty big muscles all around, i dont think his traps, neck wud be a problem
