Does Fedor have Nog's chin? - Page 4

I think Nog has a better chin. Its hard to tell with Fedor he has never been rocked but then again he has not faced some one like Tim(power full striker w/ good wrestling), yeah he did have fights with K-1 strikers, but he didn't stand with them to long. well at lesat with Hunt and HMC, but he went the distance with CC and Semmy, so its hard to gauge just how good his chin is.

We well just have to wait and see if Tim can lay him out, but don't worry Tim will test his chin, and we will know whats up

the fact that Fedor's chin has really been tested is usually due to the fact that he hasn't been hit much.

That for me, will be a bigger problem that Sylvia will need to address if he is going to beat fedor.

The Fujita hit was a solid hook from a very heavy handed guy.

Tim jabs and throws straights most of the time. I could see him hurting Fedor that way, but not like Fujita did.

That said, if anybody has a shot in hell, Tim probably does.

Fedor by Timbar, though.

I don't know why you think he has a weak chin.

I was going to post almost the exact same thing. Nog has an incredible chin and that's a good thing because he gets hit a lot but he has been dropped several times (CroCop, Herring, Sylvia) whereas Fedor has only been really rocked once by Fujita, a very powerful guy. He got a little rocked by a punch in the CroCop fight but recovered well. Fedor's only weakness is his tendency to cut easily.

Fedor has a pretty weak chin. Fujita hit him with his eyes closed and damn near knocked him out. Cro flops rocked him with a straight punch WHILE MOVING BACK. Fedor like to fight wrestlers so he doesn't have to worry about getting hit to much.

that right he took off the temple from Fujita would've knocked out a horse, but he shook it off and subbed him. but Fedor's greatest asset is not that he has a good chin it's that he doesn't really give his opponents a chance to test it. unlike Nog obviously.

Agreed. Tim is screwed. He will have about a 1 second window to do anything, then Fedor will knock him on his butt and have his way with him on the ground.

The only time I can say for sure that Nog was 'rocked' was from that left kick from Herring on the third fight. Yea, Fedor hurt him, as did Cro Cop, Barnett, and Sylvia, but never so badly that Nog was almost out of the fight. I think Nog has a better chin than Hunt actually...In K-1 Hunt ate a huge LHK from Mirko that floored him. If it were in an MMA fight Mirko would have easily TKO's him like Aleks. Nog ate a LHK, and while he fell down never looked like he was in serious trouble.

Fedor has been been wobbled by that Fujita right and that Cro Cop double left when he gave him that nose shot. Fedor has a great chin, but he is so good at avoiding punches that his chin is underrated. I think anyone that maintained their title so long in Pride facing the kinda guys he did without getting KO'd has a great chin. It's hard to compare the two, but I would have to give it up to Nog for the best chin in the business.

Fedor doesn't fight like Nog on the feet. He won't stand there and absorb punishment to set things up. I doubt that his chin is as good as Nog's but I don't think he will need it.

WOW some of you are pathetic...

Diminishing Fujita's punch JUST BECAUSE his name is Fujita.
It's as if his name creates power for him.

The man pulled ALL THE WAY BACK for the punch and hit him square in the temple with his entire body in it. It was a brutal punch regardless if Fujita is known as a striker or not. Yes, it was a lucky punch, but to think that Tim's jabs were more powerful than Fujita's bomb is being so damn ignorant on an entirely different level.
