...Jiri had a terrible weight cut that affected his chin? There is no way that you can go limp like that from that punch without some underlying problem, possibly related to weight cut.
Media Jiri going limp from this angle... how is it possible from that little"no room" punch unless...

you should let Poatan hit you like that and find out...Jiri had a terrible weight cut that affected his chin? There is no way that you can go limp like that from that punch without some underlying problem, possibly related to weight cut.

Poatan is the Michael Jordan of left hooks?

Poatan has great core and torque strength
His form is top level, his hooks stay crisp with the bent elbow, he doesn't compromise by lunging and unplanting his feet from the ground to generate power, he makes the proper footwork adjustment, half steps a bit closer if needed and executes the proper and most powerful form of the hook possible.
Also repetition is key. He must have repeated these special moves so many thousands or even millions of times that he has mastered their mechanics at all angles and situations while managing and successfully calculating the subtleties of knowing when to whip or restrain his strikes at the exact moment to create major impact. His no tell leg kicks have no fat on them, as in excessive unnecessary wind up, and the precision is insane, he can deliver 3 kicks to the exact same spot on the calf without needing a visual marker of reference, he measures it according to his own feel for it. This, coupled with Alex's insane reads of openings he himself creates, they become even deadlier because the opponent sometimes thinks he is at a safe enough distance to have the time to check or retreat the leg but no, it always connects and that can take you off your mental game and rhythm.
Other fighters sure, they are great with their form, but poatan has the movements so perfected that it's an automatic and innate reaction for him to do them

From the other side the left hook looks like it absolutely crushed Jiri's chin into his face.
Pereira has scary power in that hook and Jiri has a solid chin.

Weird take. You're talking about Alex Pereira who is literally known for having one of the most powerful left hooks in the game today (or ever). He connected first with the right and then cleanly with that left, even if he didn't wind up a ton for it. There was plenty of power behind that shot. Jiri doesn't exactly have the greatest chin or striking defense- He gets knocked down in the majority of his fights. But those shots from Poatan would put most humans down.

Its a text-book short left-hook, that’s how they are supposed to be thrown
The “clean-up punch” if you will, thing landed flush and unseen

Glover had him out on his feet. He's got a sus chim imo but Alex vould ko a horse. Tbh, either punch could ko lesser men. It could have and should have went longer but no cte Jiri is a blessing.
