myth about Reems chin being fragile

[bjpenngoat]

Reem does not have a fragile jaw. He has lost fights by KO/TKO but only after he is completely gassed. The fact that he was beating the shit out of travis and bigfoot is testament to that, he was taking big shots and didnt go down. He just gasses and falls apart and becomes a punching bag. He has taken huge shots and not gone down.

Nah he's chinny the stats don't lie on this one

 

[kikikhan]

He gasses out and has no willpower to overcome adversities. If Overeem had Fedor's computer, he'd be unstoppable.

Most don't want to acknowledge that it was a headbutt that caused Reem's downfall in the Bigfoot fight. Start of the third they clashed heads and reem couldn't recover in time.

I don't think it's fragile but it's certainly not great either. Probably average. Pat Barry chin is fragile. I would measure Overeem's chin as 1.8 Barries.

1st Round. Was he Gassed?

Bigfoot was gaining momentum at the end of the second. A headbutt may not have helped, but Reem already in a bit of trouble in that fight by the third round.

Chin arguments are kinda silly when it comes to heavyweights. Even the most basic heavyweight fighter has tremendous KO power. Reem's chin isn't bad in the sense that he gets flash KO'd a lot. It's moreso his recovery that's the issue. Once he gets stunned, he has a really hard time resetting the fight and surviving.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

his chin is OK, but not as good as someone like Rothwell

 

[moreorless87]

Like Arlovski he's not massively chinny but neither does he have a greatchin and perhaps more importantly again like Arlovski he has a tendency to leave openings either due to gassing or reacting badly to getting hit.

The latter might well have changed now under Jackson I spose.

Reem = Conor Senior

 

[Emjay]

Bad defense is a more realistic explaination

 

[Sonny Qc]

Idk TS, 9 ko/tko loss is a hell lot !

 

[GoldenAzazel]

been TKO/KO'd 6 times inside the first 5 minutes. "He was gassed!"

 

[hasar]

Usually he stands up quickly after TKO. Shogun's superman punch KOed him cold.
