He doesn't put any power behind it. It's just a flicking, distance-measuring jab that's meant for him to set up the big right hand.
A lot of big punchers didn't really have great jabs. They may have had great right hands, great left hooks, but their jabs were "serviceable" at best. Some didn't have much of a jab at all. The Sonny Liston, George Foreman types are somewhat exceptional.
A powerhouse jab like that is really unique.

He broke Duhaupas’s face when he committed into it. Most of the time, he does not.
I can't think of a power puncher with a weak jab. Shannon Briggs had a monster jab, Mike Tyson too.
Well, it's probably harder to think of a guy like that with an outright weak jab. Especially with the physical dimensions that Wilder has, which you'd think would translate to a solid jab.
I mean, physically, he's basically a heavyweight Thomas Hearns. But Hearns had a great jab, while Wilder's is pretty shit.
I don't know what's really going on there.
Julian Jackson was a guy whose jab was nothing to write home about, but the power in his hooks was next-level.
Well It looked like taps against Fury, even when he commited.
Duhaupas facial damage was done with uppercuts and hooks mostly opened up cuts in the 5th round on the ropes , he was able to put shots together without the jab even working the body a lot but that’s because Duhaupas is a plodder with slow counter reaction times .He broke Duhaupas’s face when he committed into it. Most of the time, he does not.

Wilders face looked worse,he had bruising himself and a closed eye if someone did damage with a jab it was the other guy in that one .
Your talking about one little cut I’m talking about causation of the damage which was not jabs by Wilder it was hooks and uppercuts .Duhaupas´s face - especially his nose - was already bruised before round 5 and it was the jabs he had eaten weighted a lot. And yes, he is a plodder, which is basically what I implied and made him an easier target. Not sure how Wilder’s swelling is related to this discussion.

The swelling on Wilder was caused by jabs by the other guy so yea it’s related to the discussion of throwing jabs and what they did .
He didn’t looked damaged he had a little cut on the left bridge of his nose ,he wasn’t looking damaged until the 5th round when Wilder barraged him with those uppercuts and hooks . The discussion was me correcting you nothing more or less because you said the other guy did damage with jabs when it was the other one.I’m talking about a guy who looked damaged before round 5 after eating a fair amount of jabs - granted, he also got hit with the left hook and right cross -, and this discussion happens to be about Wilder’s jabbing power.
That being said, it was an entertaining bout.
