Can somebody explain to me how being weight-drained affects a boxers chin?

ono correct, plus you are more likely to get hit, it affects the muscle nuerons and eyesight.

Thats why the weigh in is 24hrs before a fight ,it allows the fighters to rehydrate their bodies before going into combat.

the chin is always the weak spot, when a fighter is weight drain his legs are a lot weaker therfore if hit in the chin it seems like his chin is weaker but in fact his body especially his legs is whats weaker. the chin stays the same, the body and legs doesn't. He may of taken the same shot if he wasn't weight drain and stayed up but when weight drain, he'll fall cause his legs give in easier. Therfor making it seem it is the chin that was weaker.

Everything gets weak from improper weight loss, not just the chin.

Interestingly if you dehydrate badly it takes four days to Hydrate properly. There are more accidents now with weigthins the day before than when same day weigthins were the norm, funnily theres a lot less bouts work that one out.

Excellent point scrap , I enjoy your articles !

Very dangerous dehydration to make weight, the fluid that protects the brain from the skull is depleted causing more chance of severe injury on impact.. it take at least 48 hours for that fluid to replenish leaving the fighter vulnerable to increased chance of being knocked out and worse.

I like the rules which some sanctioning bodies have put in place that makes a fighter weight in at different cycles during the preparation period , to insure that fighters are within the weight limit via proper diet and work ethic. . I’d like to see more of these type weight maintenance programs instituted across the board.

Losing weight makes you weak . Someone who is strong is harder to knock over than someone who is weak.
