    1) Tucking your chin makes it harder to hit
    2) if you keep your chin tucked nice you don’t have to hold
    Your hands as high helps save energy. Plus the advantage of being able to block with your shoulders of need be.
    3) Most importantly when you get hit you will take the shot better than of you got your head up in the air.

      Either you have strengthened your neck or you haven't before hand.

      Eyes can look where they like if you are tucked or not.

          You ask people what they think and then tell them that you don't care what they think? Did you have a lot of problems making friends as a child?

            Chin down means your throat is not exposed...tip of the chin is not our there...a straight punch can slide downwards as opposed to taking it flush and getting your nose broken.

              you tuck your chin to hide it from getting hit lol.

              I could go further and say if your gloves get punches into your own face they hit your cheek bones instead. But in general you tuck your chin to protect it.
