If it’s the vid I’m thinking of, the defending guy basically caught the blow dead on with his knee, facing straight into the blow where all the bones, muscles and ligaments are aligned to make it strongest. On the opposite side, the middle of your shin is pretty much the weakest point in your legs. The bones are thin, there’s not a ton of padding and there’s no way to provide flexibility or let something else bend to absorb the impact when you’re dead in the middle of a long bone like that.
