So the guy knew he was going to get the F! knocked out (cuase that wasnt a heavy punch-though not "seen") so he did what it took to win. So whos the better fighter? LOL
Great post!

 

lol

 

Haha he caught a hot one right behind the jaw..... what a fruitcake

 

why would he do that....lol.. that was kinda funny sh/t :rotfl:

 

I think he got k/o so easy because he was totally not expecting to get punched.

 

lol. I think anyone with fightsport/martial arts knows how easy it is to get messed up if you get hit in the wrong place. Kidney shots, catching a hook behind the jaw, that will mess ANYBODY up, I don't care how tough they are...

So that's why trained people seem "tough" - it's not that they are physiologically more resistant to getting knocked out or hurt, but they know what parts of the body to protect at all costs, and what parts to just take a hit in.

For example tucking in the head to your chest - makes you almost impossible to knock out (well, compared to just straight taking a hook like this dude in the video lol...). I see newbies putting both hands in front of them too, you always have to have a hand protecting the head.
