Terrible example. Poirers head absorbs the full impact on Mcgregors shot, and it's the back of the head. Just because it bounces doesn't mean it loses any power.

If anything you should be questioning Poirers defense. He does that shitty "answer the phone" block, even when ducking down, which only works with boxing gloves on, and leaves huge holes when fighting with 4 ouncers, as you see in that gif. Poirer has had chin issues at 145, but he drained him self too much. At 155 it has looked absolutely solid. Hasn't faced a puncher like Duff man though, but we shall see.

And Edwin Valero has a 100% KO ratio in boxing, so no on that Conor statement. Even though he has a sick KO percentage still.
