Great Jab Heavy Fights

George Foreman put on the jabbing display of his life against Briggs....and still got miserably robbed.

All the fights I had in mind have been posted so I'll go with Mayweather-Judah for the first half of the fight before Mayweather took over and I'll throw in Hopkins-Dawson II

 

Holmes vs Norton and Jofre vs Harada are probably the best pair of jabbers to meet.

 

Holmes - Williams. The Truth actually outjabbed Holmes for at least part of the fight.

 

It's already been mentioned but Larry Holmes v Carl Williams was a great HW jab contest.

 

McCallum vs. Kalambay I. It's been a while since I saw it but I recall both men trying hard to establish the jab. Since they were both adept defensively, each man had to get creative in how they would employ it. They worked upstairs and down, doubled it, etc.

Kinchen vs Ramos, except that Bill Cosby did not seem to enjoy it.

 

Marvin Hagler-John Mugabi. Although the great majority of the jabs came from Hagler.

Evander Holyfield-George Foreman. Foreman landed some very hard jabs, jabs that pushed Evander out of range for the follow up right hand. Holyfield landed more jabs to set up his other shots

Both Foreman and Alex Stewart landed a ton of jabs in their match. Stewart turned Foreman’s face into hamburger with the jab, but was seemingly reluctant to open up with more shots. Probably worried because of his chin, he got dropped twice early on and had suffered recent stoppage losses to Mike Tyson & Michael Moorer

Ike Quartey-Jose Luis Lopez was a good fight. Ike landed the Bazooka jab at will. I don’t remember if Lopez was landing many though.

 

Lewis-Holyfield II on another level

 

Pinklon Thomas-Tim Witherspoon
