Ridiculous speculation, absolutely ridiculous.
First off, is there any view of the punch from the front? all I saw was from Lubin's perspective and it does not tell is much.
Lubin was trying to get up, he was probably hit near the center of the chin which leads to a neurological short circuit and he could not get control of his body but he was not out cold. It appeared to have caught him by surprise also because of the angle and because it was a counter.
This kid is young and probably overcommitted himself, he made a mistake against a puncher, there is no indication that I can see that he has a bad beard. Some punches are not about resistance.
A liver shot for example... you can be in great shape but if it lands properly your going to have a problem! When caught on the chin tip with a heavy handed punch under the site line...like the Ali corkscrew shot to Liston, is all about placement and "thud" and so the punch can look very innocent and cause an immediate flap around effect!
Keep in mind that the angle of the punch was such that it was not seen...it came under the sight line . these punches are very dangerous and have nothng to do with chin resistance.
