Glass Chins

When I was watching the Jongsanan, Superlek fight, all I could keep thinking was that everyone of those blows would have put me to sleep.  I was thinking about my ability to take a punch, and I have to admit I’ve got a pretty shit chin.  I’ve never been knocked out cold, but I’ve come dangerously close even with head gear on.  Actually that’s a lie, when I was 10 I ran into a tree (bright kid) knocked my shit out cold.  In fact I had a really vivid dream of lying in a warm grassy field.  When I came to I had a splitting headache and was slightly disappointed I was no longer in the field.

Did any of you catch the Amir Khan fight?  If you didn’t here you go.  On a side note why did Amir’s camp put him in with a fighter with such a high KO ratio?  They had to know there boy had a nopstar chin?

I came across this article today on MMAJunkie.com about Good Chins vs. Bad Chins, in short it’s genetic… not a whole lot you can do about it.   Since i’ve been spending a lot of time with boxers, it’s become so apparent to me that Nak Muay’s are really open to neck snapping head shots.  It’s incredible how much movement is required when your boxing.  It’s tough to switch to box mode for me… I’m sure the boxers think I’m some sort of zombie.

When was the last time you were knocked out? Any vivid dreams?
