theres a british one ill probably never remember it, but it may come to me. it isnt williams vs coleslaw.
I'll admit I had to take a few minutes before opening the thread to try to figure out JTFO..... Great call on McCline v Abdusalamov. Not boxing but Diaz v Lawlor was one that springs to mind.
Benn was stopped by a jab against Watson. Seldon's jabs made Tony Tucker quit on his stool. Last punch before retiring was a jab.
This content is protected When you right, you right...Cooper was indeed JTFD, @MVC! - but Mayweather later dusted him off with a series of rights & left hooks on the head. So this one doesn't make the "JTFO" list. Stray observations: Eww, the voice of Larry Merchant! Nobody except Merchant himself is ever happy to hear that shit. Anyway, man, this guy really always had a hard-on for hating on PBF, didn't he? Kid was in his third pro bout and Larry's throwing around "Yeah, it was maybe a flash knockdown, but Cooper was off-balance " Good lord that boy was fast in his prime. And that power jab downstairs was always his ace in the hole. The difference between Floyd's bronze and Oscar's gold was corrupt judging, get it straight.
Buffer didn't do a good job either, first getting his record mixed up when he was announcing the win and then calling him a silver medalist too! Smh
For all intents and purposes, the competitive portion of Hagler-Lee was ended some 30 seconds in following a Hagler jab. Tommy Morrison legitimately knocked out Mike Foley, an early opponent, with a jab.
I'm going to make a separate one for boxers that have been dropped or very obviously hurt/rocked by jabs: Mike Williams by James Douglas~, June 1988 Terry Norris by Simon Brown, December 1993 Jerry Cooper by Floyd Joy Sinclair, January 1997 Julius Francis by Mike Tyson, January 2000 Monte Barrett by Wladimir Klitschko, July 2000 Emanuel Dapidran Pacquiao by Nedal Hussein, October 2000 Monte Barrett by Nikolai Valuev, October 2006 James Toney by Samuel Peter, January 2007 Alfonso Gomez by Miguel Cotto, April 2008 Joshua Clottey by Miguel Cotto, June 2009 Robert Guerrero by Joel Casamayor, July 2010 Guillermo Rigondeaux by Ricardo Cordoba, November 2010 Carl Frampton by Alejandro González, July 2015 ~ Williams was floored thrice by jabs, but the fourth & deciding knockdown was from a Buster right hand. ...and the updated JTFO list: Osvaldo Ocasio, by Larry Holmes. March 1979 Mike Foley, by Tommy Morrison. January 1989 Nigel Benn by Michael Watson, May 1989 Tony Tucker by Bruce Seldon, April 1995 Matt Skelton, by Kubrat Pulev. January 2010 Paul Briggs, by Danny Green. July 2010 Alexander Dimitrenko, by Kubrat Pulev. May 2012 Lucian Bot, by Adil Atmari. August 2012* Jameel McCline, by Magomed Abdusalamov**. September 2012 Alexander Ustinov, by Kubrat Pulev. September 2012 Hector Saldivia, by Kell Brook. October 2012 Patrick Majewski, by Curtis Stevens. January 2014 Cedric Agnew, by Sergey Kovalev. March 2014 Kris Carslaw, by Liam Williams. December 2015 Ezequiel Maderna, by Artur Beterbiev. June 2016 Julian Williams, by Jermall Charlo***. December 2016 Agus Kustiawan, by Kittithat Ungsrivongs. January 2018 Tewa Kiram, by Lucas Matthysse. January 2018 Nezir Altunkaya, by Denis Lebedev. September 2018 (cheers @Drew101, @dinovelvet, @Swollen Liver & @Serge for the contributions!)
Are we also counting fights where a fighter is also jabbed so consistently from each round without getting hurt? Winky Wright’s constant jabbing on Tito was such a masterclass. I feel like that should be considered as JTFO even if Trinidad was never truly hurt. Wright’s jab was almost always on his face.
Really? nobody has mentioned The Worm and Wilder yet? I know I know, it wasn't a ko, still worth a mention, though.
Félix lasted the distance, though... You wouldn't include Calzaghe vs. Lacy on a list of all time greatest knockouts, as much of a masterclass as it was, so no, we can't include Winky vs. Tito here.
