Just recently i went onto youtube to check out a few boxing clips and i came across the Prescott fight with Khan. So many people ive talked to tell me regarding that fight Khan was wobbled by a jab. I didnt see it then...and i dont see it now!! The first good punch that wobbles Khan is NOT a jab. In fact just concentrate on Prescott's movement and you can clearly see its not a jab but more a hook. Glad we cleared this one up:good [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqbqbx7uf6E&feature=related[/ame]
I agree its somewhat of a hook of the jab, btw nothing major in being wobbled by a jab, a very well timed, stiff speedy jab can course alotta damage, some people think a jab is just solely a range finder but delivered well and its a good offencesive tool, much better tougher more durable fighters then Khan have not only been wobbled by a jab but indeed knocked down, Clottey against Cotto comes to mind although he walked into it.
Was definatly a hook, yeah I mean i remember watchin Sugar Ray Leonard KD'g (forgotten who) with a jab, a real sharp jab, no swing in it at all, just shows how accurate and sharp he was!
Guys i take your points...what i was getting at was people were making out a standard type jab had him in trouble.
And we are agreeing with you, but adding additional information! Being proactive rather than erm reactive, I don't know what word should go there but you get the point!
I know, was just saying.... Although just to add to both of you peoples points....its extremely rare to see a fighter hurt by a jad. Knocked down yes but seriously hurt...ive rarely ever seen that/if ever
It's not a jab at all, I was confused by people saying that too. Prescott and Khan are both swinging, with P more accurate.
What are you on about? You've already missed the part where he's wobbled by a jab in that video... 40 seconds...watch the jab..watch the legs [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qsXDBqOevA[/ame]
You might be able to argue he was caught cold but there is no way you could argue it was one lucky punch he was caught with. Prescott looked like a world beater in that fight...
It certainly briefly turned his legs to jelly. It hard to tell if he would have recovered coz he was out cold a few seconds later from other shots lol
