I apologise, I was making a little joke because of your name, the real Howard foster had been on another thread that day and told someone to sit down and shut up - I'd hoped you'd get the joke but we'll done with your prediction - Williams is some fighter, you don't see jab knockouts often at all.

Agreed but I think better examples of a power jab are that guy that brook did with a jab a few fights back and the one that put Kevin Mitchell over last weekend

Khan was badly shaken by the first jab Prescott landed!

Kovalev also hurt Clev and Campillo, in addition to heavily stopping a journeyman early in his career, with the jab-like shot that ended Mohameddi's night; I say 'jab-like' because in each case he threw the blow after unleashing a straight right, which meant that he was able to turn his body into the blow more than the typical jab.PredatorHayds wrote:I remember everyone questioning Benns heart because it looked like he swallowed it.palooka wrote:PredatorHayds wrote: The one that springs to mind was Watson knocking Benn out with a jab.good call and it was over 25 years ago, they are pretty rare.
He just about proved is wrong on that one![]()
Top level KOS with jabs are proper rare. My minds gone blank for any others.
Kovalev had one against Mohameddi but I wouldn't call him top drawer and he was looking for a way out.
Kov stopped Agnew with a jab downstairs as well, though Agnew had taken a beating and I believe suffered a broken rib by then. Similarly, in Pulev's fourth or fifth bout he dropped Skelton with a jab to the midsection.
