I posted a similar response on another thread but it applies here as well. A big part of getting knocked out -vs- not getting knocked out is how you take the punch and a big part of that is being somewhat accustomed to taking the punishment and being able to relax while you're taking it. Have you ever heard how when a drunk gets into a car accident against a sober person, the drunk often walks away with some bruises while the other is usually much worse off. This is because the drunk is so relaxed. When a big shot is coming in to your jaw, if you take the shot and role with it, it will have a far less cuncussive effect on your brain, blood supply to your brain and the rest of your body than if you keep your neck and body stiff resulting in all the power of the blow being absorbed by your head.
This is something that can be developed over time and training.
