Chin blow carries mechanical force from mandible directly to the skull with no soft tissue shock absorption along the way--and the direct mechanical force of the blow translates to fore-and-aft movement of the skull WITHOUT any rotation absorbing the energy---skull imparts blows force directly to soft tissue of the brain as the inertial mass of the brain leaves it standing in place, being sloshed through the normally cushioning layer of cerebral spinal fluid to make direct mechanical contact with the inside of the skull (albeit through the layers of the pia, mater and dura) ----forebrain and probably including midbrain structures---and then whipsaws backwards with a contra-coup impact on the back the brain as the head snaps back. (occiput/visual centers)

The mechanical impact of the brain tissue on the inside wall of the brain probably causes (now I'm guessing, but it's an informed guess) the neurons to respond to the blow with a mass ionic depolarization/electrical potential trigger---and concussion.

If he's only averagely unlucky, he'll also have a intra-cerebral/parenchymal micro bleeding---and if he's really unlucky, he'll keep getting in that ring and he'll end up like the NFL players with serial concussions or like Muhammed Ali. A demented, Parkinsonian cripple.

Don't get hit in the head.

Maybe there were better fighters - technically - than Ali. I don't know enough to comment, so I bow to boxing experts on that point. But, I'm sure that only a few would dispute the fact that he was the greatest. The man had it ALL, in and out of the ring, and I don't think we will see his like again.

I believe the announcer is Harry Carpenter. He ended up good friends with Ali.

ali pissed them all off too

A Former FBI Special Agent Ali Soufan was on Colbert Report.
Here is a not verbatim, shortened version of the interview:

Colbert: What do you think about US-citizens being killed by drones without a trial?
Soufan: As long as they are threat to America (terrorists), it's OK.
[audience shouting and cheering]
Colbert: How do I get of the list?
Soufan: After we've killed you.
Colbert: There is no other way?
Soufan: Yes

to be a great man it matters what one does off the playing field (Muhammed Ali) . Trying hard and being skillful at something are not qualifications for greatness, just as receiving a large divorce settlement does not make a woman a "whore". That's to say nothing of the super inflated pay packets that are routinely handed out to top sports people. Sounds like a bitter misogynist.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

When I was around 9 in 1978, I met Muhammad Ali. I shook his hand in a restaurant called the Evergreen in Delta Junction, Alaska. He was in town to shoot a battery commercial.

He looks so like Muhammad Ali!

Man, did Will Smith ever do a good job capturing him. I recently saw "I am Bruce Lee", and Bruce watched films of Ali's fights over and again to help develop footwork when he invented Jeet Kune Do.

They don't look any nuttier to me than a box of HONEY NUT'S AND O'S, the choice cereal of Olympic Medal Winning Aly Raisman!
