JDS is one tough S.O.B.
If you think Fedor had a weak chin then your stupidity speaks for it's self.
Probably the same one that teaches you that you can regain consciousness by being punched again.
KO once after 10 years and a 30 plus fight career = Epic fail on your part.
and rocking Nog these days is hardly a good measure of punching power.
Well, the only ones I can think of are Nog and Rothwell. Rothwell was a premature stoppage, and rocking Nog these days is hardly a good measure of punching power.
Oh, and Brock. Brock was cut from a knee, not a punch, and due to his limited experience he didn't know what to do other than curl up in a ball. But I think that fight supports the argument that Cain lacks power since he hit Brock cleanly with at least a dozen power shots and Brock wasn't really in danger of getting knocked out. His defense just completely sucked.
After watching the fight last night, I'm unsure whether to think that JDS has a Fedor-like chin or whether to think that Velasquez just doesn't hit very hard.
I would think that JDS has a brick for a chin except for the Cain/Kongo fight, in which once again Cain hit someone hundreds of times on the chin and didn't really hurt them.
In the first round JDS was clearly rocked; however, Cain hit him with an overhand right straight on the button (base of the jaw). Anyone taking that kind of hit from a heavyweight SHOULD be KOed...
Also, JDS was gassed for 4 entire rounds and Cain couldn't put him away--that and the fact that JDS didn't really feel the need to attempt to block any of Cain's punches.
Yes, I realize that JDS had a swollen face, but he did get punched there a few hundred times.
And so, does JDS have an iron chin, or does Velasquez hit like a sack of sponges? If anyone wants to make a poll, feel free.
Wow... if you really think Nog's chin is anywhere close to what it was back in the day then you shouldn't be watching MMA.He didn't rock Big Nog you moron. HE KNOCKED HIM OUT.
Nog has outboxed Mir, Scaub and Herman since then. What indication is there that Big Nog's chin is shot?
None.
