 Stickgrappler's Mixed Martial Arts page - Boxing - Frank Benn on the Jab page
If a good fighter knows you tend to leave your head in the same place when you jab (and furthermore if he anticipates that you won't follow your jab up with something damaging), he is going to throw a cross or overhand right over top of it as he bobs.
There are few punches you can throw that a good jab won't improve -- either by virtue of setting up your timing, establishing a feint that he reacts to, helping you gain the necessary distance, or giving you the change of angle you need to line up that power punch.
The jab's function in a streetfight is not so artful as it is in a boxing ring against a good boxer.

 spiked | Three cheers for the five-in-one jab   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The arguments ranged against the five-in-one jab are utterly unconvincing from a health point of view - all they seem to do is to build supposition on to superstition, leading to a mystical condemnation of the new vaccination, the old vaccination, and any other vaccination.
And because the new jab does not contain mercury, apparently making it a bit safer than the old jab, the old jab is suddenly labelled dangerous - even though the evidence provided by all those babies who survived the quadruple jab without ill effect clearly indicates that it is not.
To reject giving a child a jab in favour of chancing it with the disease is to absolve oneself of responsibility - both for your own child’s resistance to illness and the fate of other children.

Britain's new multi-billion pound NHS IT system has been blamed for causing child vaccination uptake rates to be at risky levels, a health watchdog has claimed.

In addition to the low rate, 50,000 children are lacking data which could also put them at risk as doctors cannot remind them about booster injections and other appointments.
