How soon will Lee’s chin fail him dramatically?

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

i think he’s an incredible talent and has quickly developed into an all around threat. His chin seems to be his biggest vulnerability. It seems each time he is caught clean he is dropped and in danger. Would his chin hold up to power punchers in Poirier and McGregor in the top 5? What about lower ranked guys like Vick, felder, or Duffy?

Reported. Garbage

Barboza hit him with a bomb and he recovered. His chin is decent. His defence needs improvement.

He will put MacStripped on his ass within 10 seconds (and probably finish him within a round).

To be fair, anyone who takes that Barbosa spin kick would react the same way.

Conor would probably beat Kevin Lee and Tony, fact. Khabib mauls him though

This isn’t that type of thread, let’s not get started on that path.

Probably, it was actually admirable the way he recovered there. I’m more pointing out how he’s been rocked by a jab/hook by tony, by trinaldo, by santos, etc.

He has improved his defense and his chin is not bad.

This. The last one that landed the same is debated as #1 KO of all time. Heel landed right on temple and Kevin didn't die, gotta give him credit.

 

[Lawblaw]

He took a spinning back kick from frickin Barboza
That kinda sucks

 

[ShinyaAokiFan]

I guess there are guys like Wand who would get dropped a lot and recover quickly. Somewhat comparable to that type of chin.

Let's argue some more. Kevin Lee would KO both Khabib and Conor with a single punch

How does Conor(or anyone) beat Tony? Sounds retarded man.

Tony has great offense but his defense is questionable. He has been knocked down at least 5 times. Conor does well against reckless strikers

Kevin´s chin is def a suspect. He gets dropped and stunned in almost every fight. Al Iaquinta, Baroza, Ferguson, Trinaldo and Chiesa have either dropped him or stunned him badly

Wasteland.

AGREED!

I don't think his chin is bad, but it is kind of average. I think he gets dropped a lot of the time because he gets a little over eager and walks into a punch, sometimes off balance. Experience can fix that.

The ground is his best friend. Pointing out a couple trivial incidences doesn't do much really. If I were to do the same for Conor(whose cardio sucks btw and has no submission game) or Lee I'd be done next morning.

How is being rocked on the feet trivial? Ferguson has always had suspect defense and that’s always been the route to victory for his opponents (not that it often works), but he gets hit and hurt in virtually every fight.

Honestly I wish the mods would permanently wasteland trolls like you. What about his post is 'wasteland' material? The fact that you don't like it? The world doesn't revolve around you.

Maybe instead of just posting "wasteland", you could elaborate on why you don't like the thread. You may very well have a point, but I don't think posts like yours should be allowed on internet forums. Maybe try saying something like:

"I feel like this topic has been discussed in other threads and fight discussions, and this thread adds nothing new to the Sherdog forums. Perhaps this post isn't necessary."
