Has there ever been someone knocked out by a jab?

[Wariowokecancel]

Everybody posting the dominant, aka rear hand, hitting somebody, shouldn’t.

A jab is the guard, lead hand, weight on the lead leg, hand coming out quickly to smack somebody. It’s not a cross or hook.

Edit: you don’t have to put your weight on the lead leg for a jab, a standard jab won’t require this but you ain’t going to KO anybody not named Liddell. There are step, power and pivot jabs which include change of balance - they can fuck your opponent up. Every single jab is however a straight hand with your lead fist and your lead leg forward. Not whacking somebody quickly in a straight line.

This is a jab

Lead leg forward. He’s a southpaw?

What I learn in this thread is that most sherdogger don't know the difference between a jab, a hooker, and a straight.

Yup. I concede. Posted the Silva/Griffen TKO in a rush to get the 1st post. I think of all the suggestions I've seen. Diaz / Lawler has to be the best example. Cerrone / Barbosa decent. But not a close to a KO

Not a KO, but Usman had some nasty jabs against Burns:

Good post, probably the second real jab in this thread.

Diaz Lawler is a hook like Bader vs Fedor or Seth vs Kimbo, it isn't much of a hooking action but it is there, look at the shoulder and elbow and you can see the hooking action.

 

[El Fernas]

Bader vs Fedor:

Not a jab, that was more of a hook.

 

[machidafan99]

Bader vs Fedor:

If that counts so does Diaz Lawler, but I suspect those are hooks

Not to derail the thread with arguments of what is or isn't a jab, but Khamzat's 1 punch KO of GM3 deserves a mention:

I think Cejudo had a similar finish as well, i dont remember against who exactly, but thats a straight punch.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Look at his arm man, it isn't straight. It is a lead hand hook similar to the one Bader landed on Fedor or the one Nick Diaz landed on Lawler.

Look at their elbows. On a jab the elbow doesn't point outwards in the gif you posted his elbow is pointing outwards because he his throwing a hook. Look at the Gus vs Vladimir gif, that is a jab.

His arm isn’t straight because they are both stepping in and it’s a short punch. His arm can’t be straight at that distance. That doesn’t mean it’s a hook. As per my other response, had stipe held his feet youd see it’s a straight punch. It also lands square on the point of his chin. A hook is landing on the side unless you’re at an angle from your opponent, which he wasn’t

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

That's a right cross KO. They are dime a dozen, even in recent UFC history. O'Malley-Wineland, Usman-Masvidal, Ige-Tucker.

Right cross is a made up word from someone pretending to know what they're watching.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

Ngannou vs Stipe

Left hook.

 

[Tarkovsky]

@ iWas

Not smart charging in on prime Gus.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

He threw a straight punch with his lead hand correct? That's a jab

He wasn’t on his right leg and leading forward. That would be a southpaw jab, which this wasn’t.

 

[Tarkovsky]

Chimaev vs Geershardt? Damn, power.

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Diaz v Lawler

 

[FEDORFAN44]

Don frye has a 9 second ko in ufc. if I remember correctly he koed the guy with a jab.

 

[Swepingright]

Semmi schilt has knocked out people with a jab

 

[jumasterflex]

Rich Franklin knocked out nate quarry with a jab

 

[Brady2Moss2007]

Not to derail the thread with arguments of what is or isn't a jab, but Khamzat's 1 punch KO of GM3 deserves a mention:

That's not a jab either.

 

[kflo]
