    An old club of mine just posted this on facebook.
    Its from a 91+kg fight, debate is going on re. the KO.
    Lucky punch? Weak Chin? Perfect shot? Something else? What do you think?

  2. Id give him benefit of the doubt, it landed straight on the chin. Red didnt take the punch well, probably hasnt been sparked before.

    The guy throwing the right hook got his weight turned on it and the guy getting hit basically lunged face first into it.

    You know what? It really makes me think 90% of boxers completely stupid when all they talk about so much is this **** called power. I've seen some of the tiniest of punches, simply lock on the inside of the jaw and clock it upwards and then OUTWARDS, and that is enough to seal the match. Truth is, you can bang away at the jaw, all you want, but that is only knocking it in. What it cant take is being pulled forward, and that is how it also gets dislocated. A nice punch that digs in from behind the hinge point and levers it forwards is a devastating punch, and it doesn't have to be hard to get effect. The only difficulty is getting there.

    Takes the jaw only 3.5 Pounds of pressure to get your lights out.. when your body knows its going to get hit or its in danger it automatically defends itself making it harder to drop the guy, that's why its easier when they ain't looking

    Looked like he got chopped in the neck or cuffed with the heel of the hand (in the jaw or temple).

    And that is a glass jaw.

    lucky shot, unless the guy was trying to throw a counter.

    id have to see the rest of the fight to see if the guy in red had a tendency to throw a crazy right hook after left straights that the guy in blue picked up on, to see whether he ment to throw a counter or if he just randomly punched and ended up countering the wild right hook.

    yeh ive seen loads of fights where a slight tap to rotate the chin is more devasting than a huge haymaker clattering right in the centre down the pipe.

    Very good, flush shot. Caught him coming in. It might have just been an instinct/lucky shot and not a perfectly timed counter punch, but it came in at just the right place and time.

    That, to me, looked more like a fine china chin in action than any real power on the shot. The puncher was going backwards, squared up to the guy in red and didn't seem to generate any real power on the shot that put the guy in red down. More of a combination of luck on the punch and china in the target.
