Glover Teixeira's Chin

[snaportap21]

Is Glovers chin as bad as sherdog tries to make it seem? He was clipped by Fabio when he had his hands down and was staggered, but he recovered quickly (even though Joe Rogan was saying he was still hurt). And in the Bader fight he was dropped, but Bader has huge power. Quickly afterwards Glover knocks Bader out after recovering quickly. In the Rampage fight Glover also ate some big shots, so why is his chin questioned?

I dont know if it's bad or good, but it's definitely suspect IMO. Sherdoggers are not in between when it come to Glover's chin. They say either it's very good or very bad. Either way, it's suspect.

so why is his chin questioned?

Because people on here don't know what they're talking about

this, when you see someone getting put down like those are some red flags

 

[Maladroit]

Jon Jones doesn't have enough KO power anyway

I know the red flags when I see them. In fact I think the issue is you can never question someone's chin unless they have 10 knockout losses or something

He just had really good recovering. It's his boxing style that makes hill get hit often so I would say his chin is fine because he came back after those hard hits and finished the fight.

 

[MitMcl]

I don't think we can really say either way yet.

Doesn't really matter since Jones' punching power isn't nearly as big a threat as Maldonado's or Bader's. I'd say his chin isn't that suspect since he's already taken good shots and not gone dark.

it's easy to recover when your opponents are horrible at following up when you're hurt

this and fabio and bader have much much higher level boxing skills than jones does.

Hi chin is fine, he just gets careless at times.

Not at this point......his chin is very solid. And his defence overall is pretty dam good. Its Sherdog logic that is a guy gets tagged here and there, he has bad defence and is very hittable. Just like some morons claimed that about Gus, JDS, Cain, and now Glover. Its retarded.....the best in the business get hit, its part of the sport.

And I think that so called knock down to Bader was BS....it was more his movement where he got hit in a awkward stance.

Tell Rampage that.

Remember Rampage? The guy with supposedly one of the iron-est chins in MMA?

Jones rocked him with his punching "power"

 

[GoldenGloryFan]

His chin is rock solid, he's just not the most elusive fighter and so he gets caught with heavy strikes sometimes, his recovery is really good too.

honestly you're delusional if you think it's "rock solid". Am I saying its horrible? No. But I'm not ignoring the red flags I've seen right in front me

this is why the vast majority of mma fans suck at picking fights, just so delusional about everything. I'm a realist

 

[Elmonstro1]

Good recovery, anyone can be dropped but the way he worked and kept his cool and got the ko seconds later should be something to praise. And he wont beat bones but i expect him to give him a good match the first couple of rounds

I get what u mean, but he's been hit hard and has recovered extremely quickly, and he's only been hurt by people with good power so I dnt see how it's suspect

 

[ThinkBig500]

His defense is quite good.

Tell Rampage that.

Glover actually dropped him. Jones will not rock Glover with a punch (spinning elbows may be another story).

Glover dropping Rampage has nothing to do with Jones' punching power
