Good cardio = good chin?

[Ruthless_swag]

is having good cardio conducive to being able to hard shots ? You won't be as fatigued so I suppose it helps absorb shots better.

Colby
Tony
Jones
DC
gus
etc all have good cardio and great chins.

Good cardio = good recovery.

 

[Klaavical]

Fatigue lends to the capacity to be KO'ed.

 

[VuvuzelaBzz]

Good cardio has more to do with good recovery than a good chin, though a solid to great chin is more likely to allow someone to display that recovery.

 

[Zebo]

Think it just seems that way, when you are gassed your ability to avoid a monster shot goes down so much that you are more likely to get caught.

No.

 

[onne1983]

It helps.. But mostly because the athletes with good cardio keep moving. and a fighter that keeps moving is harder to hit flush.
So good movement = Good chin IMO.

Good cardio = good recovery.

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

Yes
Because when u take a big hit your energy system takes a big hit, so the better cardio you have the better you are able to deal with it. It's part of the reason why the Diaz brothers can take such a hit

 

[Spookv]

In most cases yes, but there are anomalies like Bj Penn.

 

[Espresso]

I suppose, if that person is rolling with the punches

More like good movement = less likely to have your chin tested...

Good movement and the ability to actually absorb damage are not related.

 

[saugeye killah]

OP forgot the Diaz brothers, maybe the best example of this.

 

[Mike K.O]

The body is better conditioned when you have good cardio. Better conditioning=ability take damage

Its the punching absorbing beard u know dis

 

[D'z]

Mark Hunt has shitty cardio.

 

[gb@Trumpski]

a lot of speculation/theorising in this thread

 

[Teddy Brukshot]

It's a couple of things, recovery but also as your cardio wanes - your awareness of shots coming is not as good and also in a lot of people their posture is not as good which lends to it being easier to get their brains rattled.
