Surprising KOs by pillow-fisted fighters

Pettis v Wonderboy.

Pettis hits really hard

Wow 2 pages an no Duffe?

That's one of those fights, I literally remember where I was and who I was with, and it had to be 10 years ago? Almost exactly 10 years?

 

[Kowboy Karl]

All nick Diaz fights

Pettis hits really hard

He does with kicks. Prior to the Wonderboy fight, he had never koed anybody with punches, maybe one tko via punches long before his UFC career.

I'm surprised by that. All his strikes seem to hurt when he lands.

and to be honest I thought "pillow fisted" was just an expression from boxing and just referred to striking

damn, thought i was gonna get this one first. i was way too dismissive of Stipe for far too long cause of this loss.

That’s what you wrote...

That’s what you may want to consider editing your post to look like, honest mistake I’m assuming.

Not having many TKOs =/= pillow fisted.

 

[Mike K.O]

Bisping isn't pillow fisted
He rarely sits on his punches, so they lack power
17 of his wins are by KO or TKO

Look at that follow up leg kick. Beautiful.

Good catch.

The best one:

Mendes was still suffering for the left hand

 

[sampuncher]

Cejudo over TJ

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Cain Velaquez KO Big Nog (Cain was labeled pillow-fisted after his fights with Kongo and Rothwell)

Up until that fight Cain was mostly throwing volume punches to secure take downs. Hell I thought he was pillow fisted too. Rothwell was eating his punches like a ham sandwich.

 

[TheBrownGosling]

Not pillow fisted but Stun Gun wasn't known for his KO power. Here he knocks out a highly touted prospect.

 

[sampuncher]

Usman on Moraes

 

[neverwas]

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

Even though he only has 2 tkos on his record Serra was far from pillow fisted — In fact he was quite the power puncher

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

Not pillow fisted but Stun Gun wasn't known for his KO power. Here he knocks out a highly touted prospect.

Stun gun has decent power he put away a couple Guys in the ufc — definitely not pillow fisted

Pillow fisted is like Alex caceras

NIck Diaz isn´t exactly known for heavy hands. His KO of Lawler is the very definition of "right on the button"
