Surprising KOs by pillow-fisted fighters

Bisping , it was just well timed game planning, he swore that he saw a key flaw in Rockholds stand up and he drilled a counter over and over in camp and lo and behold Pillows Knocked out Luke

I wouldn't call Bisping pillow fisted, he finished Cung Le, knocked down Anderson in their fight. Didn't he knock down GSP aswell?

That was like half push, half punch though.
 
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.

Rothwell has one of the top 5 HW GOAT chins, though.

Bisping isn't pillow fisted
He rarely sits on his punches, so they lack power
17 of his wins are by KO or TKO
Most of them are TKO's and a lot of them involved knees. His TKOs from punches are against low opposition.
 
Usman is powerful. Just not an elite striker.

So my answer regarding the title is correct then, Usman doesn't damage people with his strikes, has one KO on his record, he's powerful but he's never going to be a KO artist.
 
Phil Davis win in Bellator

Goes to show everyone possess the capability to win by KO
