Taking away opponent's jab.

[SthPaw]

As a couple of guys have said, GGG came to my mind first. I was watching a few of his fights earlier and you can clearly see he is very effective at countering jabs with his own after parrying the opponents away. It is subtle and pretty easy to miss if you are not looking for it, as it is not as flashy as Floyd's pull counter (Floyd an obvious name for this topic too) but it is very effective by GGG.

You're wrong about Floyd-Oscar. Watch rounds 6 & 7. Show me where the counters are, because Oscar abandons the jab after that and it didn't look like Floyd had much to do with it.

Oscar abandoned his jab because he was afraid he'd run out of gas. He stopped pushing Floyd back with jab and tried to time him with a left hook instead. It was a bad move. Had he pumped the jab for two more rounds they'd have given it to him. It would have been a close to robbery, but they'd have given to him.

That's because you're looking for the wrong thing.

He didn't utilize counters to reduce Oscar's jabbing.

His very own jab, oftentimes it didn't even need to land, would keep Oscar's stick at home.

Upon your request, I watched those rounds again and noticed how many sneaky bodyshots Floyd sneaked in.

I have identified at least two reasons for why Oscar stopped jabbing.

Naw Floyds right hand counters took it away.

I don't think so. Lampley tried to make that argument after the fight and Steward immediately shut him down by saying that Floyd didn't land counter-rights to Oscar's jab.

But here's the video, so show me the light. Where are these rights hands in 6&7 that make Oscar give up the jab.

Just watch most of Rigo's fights, it's hard enough to land a jab on a southpaw but he parries it with his right and also with his elbow.

Rigo took Donaire's jab away with a right hook that was being called a slap before that fight. Although Donaire's jab was never that amazing anyway.

What were some fights where a fighter neutralized his opponent's jab?

When Mike Tyson was with Cus and Rooney the slipping of the jab followed by an upper cut or left hook. It seems people don't teach slipping anymore

Ward took Dawson's jab away with his left hook
