    Don't think so. And despite what anyone may say about Ocasio, that mas a monster jab.

    James Toney got dropped by a jab from Sam Peter in their second fight. But that wasn't a title fight.

    Not a title fight but Iron Mike Tyson shotgun Jab to Julius Francis in 2000 towards the end of the 1st round.

    Wlad hit Barrett with a jab that turned Barrett's knees to jelly for a second as he stumbled down and backwards. Wasn't a title fight though nor a knockdown.

    Austin vs. Solis a few months back. That was for some local title though.

    @Unforgiven: Are you predicting something like multiple jab knockdowns, Douglas-Williams style? I know it wasn't a title fight, but it's my favourite example.

    Douglas v Mike Williams is my favourite too, but as you say, not a title fight.

    For Wlad-Haye I make no specific predictions regarding the knockdown punches. But in tomorrow night's heavyweight title fight the chances of jab knockdowns are far higher than normal.

    Don't know about heavyweight, but Cotto has scored a few knockdowns with his jab (Clottey, Gomez). Knock downs from jabs tend to be more of a balance issue than actually because someone is hurt

    Only knockdown I remember from a job was when Cotto put down Gomez, obviously not at heavyweight
