maybe knockdown, a KO from jab is pretty rare, Vitali has a good number of knockdowns with his left jab, so did Frank Bruno and some other fighters I cant think of right now..

Sonny Liston and Larry Holmes did real damage with their jabs.

I've seen a few fights where someone gets KO'ed with a jab. I can't think of specific ones but it's happened, just not much.

Didnt Oleg Maskev get knocked out by a jab by Lance Whitaker?

I would imagine it's physically possible, but I'd think that modern mouthpieces would make it pretty hard. Doesn't the straight punch KO by knocking the jaw back into the skull and jarring the brain? That's exactly what the Shock Dr., etc. have been designed to prevent.

no its by the sharp turning of the neck that shuts off the blood from the cartriod arteries, shutting down the brain

I think you can KO with a jab if the opponent is about to get KO'ed either way. Like, getting a KO with your jab in the first round is hard if not impossible.

Almost two years ago i knocked some kid silly with a jab in a street fight, but street fighting is dumb and I know that now. But yea he jumped in at me and I just flicked a jab out not to hard and he fell over and I started kicking him.

I knocked a guy down once with a jab in sparring. Just flat on the chin and he fell heavily.

Very, very rare to achieve a KO in the ring with a jab, even among the greatest jabbers of all time. The angle of the jab has to be just right, which it usually isn't, since it is used to set the other guy up for the real power. Knockdowns, however, are not unheard of. And sometimes the jab borders on a hook, so it's hard to draw the line exactly. I saw Hagler knock a guy down with his patented "jump jab", thrown with his dominant hand actually. Of course, it's entirely possible a heavyweight could knock out a much smaller weight with a jab.
