How did Romero survive this shot?

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

You need to educate yourself by reading about head trauma. It’s not the impact on the area that causes the brain to be hurt, it’s due to the motion of the skull being stopped (or worse, reversed) and the brain still coming forward from the intial momentum. When the brain hits the inside of the skull then you have your KO. His massive neck and traps help stop his head from whipping backwards due to the impact and therefore minimize the impact of the brain on the inside of his skull.

Not every fighter who can eat big shot s has a huge neck. I don't disagree with the concept of having a strong neck being beneficial but explain fighters without necks like on romeros spectrum being able to take and absorb lots of punishment.

You need a chin to go along with a neck.

Are you serious? This has nothing to do with bone on bone and everything to do with the brain floating inside of the skull and being bounced around.

Do you watch the NFL? Helmets don't prevent KOs because the brain still smashes into the skull when there is a violent physical impact. The amount of energy in that knee is significant. You can see the energy travel down Yoel's lats and body.

He is just a freak. Let him be a freak.

Are you suggesting that there would have been no additional impact if RW's kneecap landed on Romero's jaw? If so, would you also argue that a spinning back kick would be equally as powerful if the calf /achilles was the point-of-impact as opposed to the foot/heel?

Yoel is a freak. A freak that's been knocked out before and can be again under the right set of circumstances. That is all we're discussing in this thread.
