People passing out more easily.

I was watching this heavy weight bout from a different boxing era. These heavyweights used to have some serious "chin". It was not so easy to knock them out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adet-Iy2qLM&ab_channel=BoxingAfterDark.

Fast forward to the current era. One of the top contenders, DuBois, was knocked out by a jab from Usyk! A jab! https://youtu.be/nw--oR0TvB4?t=322 Another top contender, Anthony Joshua, fought Usyk in a very cautious manner the whole time, as if Usyk was Mike Tyson in his prime and he didn't want to get clipped. Usyk is good but he is no puncher, he's a technician. Big punchers from previous eras would not have fought so cautiously.

So what's up with these new heavy weights getting to the top without much chin? Is this some New Normal stuff? I know the Covid shots can make people pass out, and reduce cardio. Perhaps they also make it easier to be knocked out.

Yes lol, and the media acknowledges as well, but of course its blamed on covid.

I remember shortly after the vaccines came out, those two soldiers passing out at the queens funeral. Also happened during some show in halifax where some military people passed out.

A condition called POTS rose after covid, but patients can’t find care

Covid is causing a sharp rise in cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that causes rapid heart rate, fainting and dizziness

A life-changing condition called POTS, which can cause fainting, irregular heartbeats and dizziness, particularly among young women, appears to be on the rise as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

But the condition isn’t well understood, and doctors dismiss many patients as having anxiety, delaying diagnosis. Once diagnosed, many patients face waiting lists as long as two years to get treatment from specialists.

:shrugs: i had covid, several times, didnt fuck with my heart. Even when my phosphorous crashed my heart wasnt flipping out, it just started beating extremely slow, like 30 bpm lmao.
