Head face seems like a jab to me. Not ear sucking. To me it’s about the plan. A bolio type that gets a first grab face hold. Then works to flip and get in the throat and finish. Priceless. It’s like mayweather with some Tyson finish. Or Ali staying out of trouble against Liston then ending him with the pullback right.

Something about head dog screams control pace and distance. Brains.
I guess it can be like a jab and then the degree of the impact starts separating one job from another.
There were a couple Larry Hoomes fights where he wins if he never throws the right hand. Some of the jabs Douglas landed on Tyson were really impactful.
Some of Ali's were nothing more than 'distance makers' for something else.
Some jabs set things up and some jabs sting, and some jabs actually hurt and some jabs are just there to keep someone away.
Charlie's jabs were the hurting kind.

He knew Liston had power but he controlled the distance. Ali had speed and power in his hands but not like Liston or foreman. The whole fight he’s back pedaling hitting him with jabs and baiting him for that pull back counter. It’s beautiful. Like the a team. I love it when a plan comes together.
