Did you just disagree with me only to confirm my statement in the next few sentences?

That's exactly what I meant: in the rare cases where a single blow could take someone out they're not just gonna stand still for it. In most cases one blow would not be enough to take down the opponent. The convention of comic book fights requires the softening up of a target before a final blow is landed and allows a beaten opponent to mobilize and get up again.
