Weak chin or Poor defense?

[nick jacoby]

I for one think Rockholds chin is fine. He gets clubbed with frickin huge shots

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

I dunno but he is too good looking for be getting punched him the face like that

Needs to change career paths

 

[Arm Barbarian]

A combo thereof

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Both..

 

[Xavier]

Why not both ?

yes but his hairline is receeding brah

 

[Neitzsche]

Luke's head is on a stack of dimes. His only success has been his height coupled with the fact he's a damn skilled rangy fighter.

You get him on that chin he's done.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

yes but his hairline is receeding brah

He has money to fix that

 

[MrMightyMouse]

Yoel pawns, no surprise here

 

[LongDongSilver]

his defense sucks obviously !!

he is scared as shit when he gets pressured

 

[Emjay]

They were both throwing.

Everyone is vulnerable when they're throwing.

 

[kibz]

Rockholds striking defense sucked...and also he did 0 damage on the feet.

At first I thought it was an off night for him, but I see how Bisping pieced him up the last time they fought....would likely do it again.

Early stoppage

 

[Willek]

Why did he start this "I've got hands" nonsense after he won the belt?

 

[subhuman trash]

Weak chin + Romero’s power = he was done before the fight started

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

Definitely both, he should have listened to Javier, his back against the cage was his Achilles heel in this fight. He was doing well in the center, fell into Romero's rhythm and boom.

 

[wildchild88]

Bad defense.

He took a lot of hard shots from Romero before the K.O.

That last punch would have stopped anyone.

 

[NorrisB]

This and 3 lbs over and every other cheat costed Rock the fight

 

[Money509]

Both, but yoel can knock anyone out so cant really say Luke has a weak chin. He just has suspect defense backing up, he just leaves his hands in the air and laves his chin exposed. Needs to seriously work on that and its his achilles heel.

 

[nightfx]

I think that shot would've shut most people down, he has an average at best chin and doesn't compensate with good defense. He also has a tendency to reach out and clinch when he gets rocked which exposes his chin even more.
