Usyk KO blow of Dubois was it a jab? or a modified lead technique?

[billeau2]

If one watches the shot that won Usyk the fight, Usyk is coming in, commits himself entirely with all his forward momentum. The way Usyk turns his hand over and such looks like a jab, but the way his body weight comes forward and how he is entirely committed forward, is not even a "pole axe" type jab, so much as a crushing lead. Also the accuracy of the shot... A traditional lead was often aimed at the tip of the face... which Usyk did, though it was from the side. Aimed at the front of the chin, the head recoils back and has nowhere to take the whiplash, hence a short circuit Ko when accurately placed... But this punch cannot generally be used with bigger gloves because it needs the direct transmission of hand to chin tip...

Watch Duboise's head, Usyk caught him with that whiplash and even though it was from the side, Duboise's head had very little space to go back from... It appears that Usyk used a traditional old fashioned lead, but because of equipment and body dynamics related to needing to swing the arms, and trunk to generate more power... Usyk compensated by throwing all his weight forwards into the blow...

lead? or jab? I think Duboise got hit with something more than a jab...

Oh... almost fergot! watch for the punch at the end of the tape, with many angles and perspectives...

It was a jab from a south paw. Usyk typically changes the angle of it as the fight goes in, which is how he KO’d Bellew

Looks like a stiff right jab, but he turns into it from the shoulder and projects forward off his left leg. Usyk is a southpaw.

The punch didn't KO Dubious

The lactic acid in his body and his weak legs from no stamina knocked him out. It's how you knock AJ out also. You can turn a big man into a child when he blows.

pumped up bodybuilders

Problem for little Usyk is he is the one who is going to blown after trying to deal with 275 pound 6'8" titan Fury for 6 rounds. then it's survival ring circle for 6 rounds hoping to lose a decision and not get chinned by a superior specimen. Usyk knows this though, he ain't an idiot.

that was a KO5 Loss for Usyk

The thing with a jab, even a poleaxe type jab, is where your center is when you throw the shot. you use the reach and the extension for power and you throw it from a stationary position. That to me is what made this shot interesting. But yeah it probably is a jab thrown a certain way.

Def a possibility. But there is a nice little twist of the head when the shot connects. I can't verify this "twist" action but a lot of whiplash shots happen when the brain gets bounced off the inside skull casing. So if I see a big shot coming, I start to move, and the effect of the shot is minus my body motion, and there is movement of the head as a whole. When someone gets whiplashed properly, the force does not throw their entire head back and away... the brain stays still for a split second and then crashes initially into the moving, twisting skull casing, then gets bounced back and fourth... This produces a lot of trauma and often can KO a fighter.

Ill give you an example: take a wing chun punch to the tip of the chin. When your hit on the chin tip, your head gets moved back violently because the shoulders and body do not move initially, at this front angle. So your brain gets hit by the face area violently jerking backwards, then again as the brain is bounced back.

I know this is technical shiat lol, but its interesting to see a fighter take advantage of it with the big gloves used these days.

Similar to when crawford knocked down spence in the second round i think
