    Who's been on the receiving end of a jaw breaking shot, and did they continue the fight?

    Liston had his jaw broken early on in his career and he continued.

    Ali and Norton, of course. Ali went on.

    I think a jaw got broken in one of Morrison's fights?

    Liston against Marshall of course. He managed to finish the fight and lost a very close decision.

    Abraham against Miranda comes to mind too.

    Arthur Abraham against Edison Miranda. Horribly dirty fight.

    The Morrison one was Morrison vs Joe Hipp.

    Morrison got his jaw broken, one of his hands broken (some reports say both hands), along with a bleeding nose and mouth.

    How long did it take Morrison to fight again after that one?

    Miguel Cotto busted up Paulie Malinaggi's jaw early in their 2006 bout, causing horrific swelling. But the light hitting, defensive master Malinaggi also proved he had a lotta heart and finished the fight. The performance earned him a title shot, which he won recently against Lovemore N'dou, a fellow who gave Cotto absolute fits a few years ago, forcing Miguel to backpedal almost continually.

    Actually I believe after the fight they said he had a fractured cheekbone. But nonetheless his face was mangled and it took alot of heart to fight on.

    He did. I think it was in round 4 though.
    Good call.

    Rodolfo "El Gato" Gonzalez had his jaw fractured by Claude Noel in their 1981 15 rounder for the vacant WBA LW Title. He went the distance in losing a clear cut decision anyway.

    This was rather ironic, as Gonzalez entered the contest undefeated, and with the reputation as a tremendous puncher with his right. There was no indication during the match that Gonzalez was ever in any kind of distress. It was only afterwards when Gato's broken jaw became known.

    Yes. Joe Hipp broke Morrison's jaw, but Morrison fought on to stop him.
