Yes and no, the power-jab is accentuated by a fencer-like movement, but in Boxing you DO NOT keep your back straight the way a reverse punch would be thrown, and definitely not your head up. But yes, it's a bone-cracker if you have heavy hands. A guy like Damacio Page learning the full nuances of the power-jab would be deadly.

It's hard to say which jab is MOST effective, I think it depends on the Fighter. Donald Cerrone knocked Rob McCullough down with a trip-hammer style jab. He just flicks it so hard it's unbelievable.
