Has anyone ever been knocked out with a jab?

[REDEEMER]

Tommy Morrison, Mike Tyson, Buster Douglas have done it ,maybe Lewis stopped someone ?

[anonymous2.0]

Kell Brook either knocked out or knocked down Carson Jones with a jab, dunno why that sticks out in my mind

[Mammoth]

New to the sport, huh?

[Citizen Koba]

Didn't Kovalev also KO Cedric Agnew with a jab to the body of all things? Must be some mustard on that shot..

Curiously that's the first one I thought of too..

This ain't the best angle on it but the first I found:



I've heard some people don't consider jabs to be significant shots on NSB though, so maybe it shouldn't count...


EDIT: Damn though, easy to forget now just what a damn beast Kovalev was on that run from '13 through to '16 or so.

It was in MMA, but Kimbo Slice got knocked out with a jab.

I think that might be a by product of modern boxing designating any straight lead hand punch as a jab without updating as an industry what the uses and effectiveness of a jab can be.

I don't ever see a jolt labeled as such. If you're familiar with them and triggers then you will see them plenty but the broadcaster and sometimes even the fighters and corners call them jabs....so they are jabs now, but, they are a puncher's lead not a boxer's. You're more vulnerable while delivering more power...just like any other punchers' tactic compared to a boxer's.

So in the modern era we see a KO punch lead we call it a jab just like a disrupting punch lead. Even though they're different structurally and intentionally.

As I see it anyway.

adjectives are usually give aways for ****ery and mislabeling. Power has one meaning but we like to describe different types of power instead of using words like force, energy, or work. We use adjectives to adjust the meaning of power. I feel like Jab got the same service. Jolts are called "Thumping" these days. Triggers don't even get mentioned...it's all either good or bad footwork, all ambiguous and **** like steps don't have names. Those adjectives man. "good" footwork is super vague actually. 'thumping' jabs are thumping cause they ain't jabs actually. There is no such thing as having "pushing" power or power that causes movement in anyway, that's force, but we like to use push as an adjective to describe the sort of power me mean because we'd rather not use force, or jolt, or trigger.

Famously Watson on Benn, though Benn could've carried on

[Rip Chudd]

Thankyou kindly, man, I wasn't familiar with the term, but I've just spent 20 mins reading through one of Dempsey's descriptions of the jolt and been attempting to re-create it in front of the mirror, much to the amusement of Jr.

Feels almost like a fencing lunge (or what I'd imagine one to feel like) if I got the idea right, but you can definitely feel the power in it.

And yeah I think it's definitely useful to expand our vocabulary with regards to lead hand punches, because so much of what happens in there is actually done on the lead hand and like you say currently all that nuance tends to be conflated down simply to 'jabs' and 'hooks'.

As ever I tip my hat, man, good knowledge. Thankyou.

Lots of pro fighters have been knocked down or knocked out by a stiff left jab. Kovalev KOed Yarde with one left jab. As a former amateur boxer I was rocked or staggered a few times by a stiff left jab. A good jabber can catch a guy coming at him with a power jab on the chin and knock him down or stagger him.
