Just to go as lame as I could recall.....TOMMY THE DUKE MORRISON BEEYOTCHEZ!

That was pretty much the clearest example that could be posted.

That's what got him the part for Rocky 5*

*probably not true.

Mikkel Kessler did it against Danilo Haussler in his last fight (around 0:30 of the vid):

Oh yeah and at about 3:07 here is poor little Ray Sefu getting flattened by a jab from Sammy Shiels (embedding disabled):

Moved from Strikeistan. This thread is definitely more comedy than technique.

Badr Hari did it once, half out.

That's what I immediately thought of when reading this thread.

No softening up from other shots, no toll being taken from a long fight.

Just one shot.

As an aside, is OP aware that every jab is not the same.....a flicking jab isn't a stiff jab isn't a job starting off a combo.

And that a jab can be used to gage distance or create distance?

Nice combo, but hardly a jab by my definition. His left forearm is well supinated.

Agreed that was a perfect example, and yes im aware of the different uses of jabs, I was just curious as to whether or not one could actively attempt a knockout with one.

Thanks guys, question was answered well.
