Gurps doesn't quite handle this yet. It needs a "1 in 6 Uppercuts to the Jaw do damage directly to the Brain" note to simulate the "countre coup" damage mechanism that results in many boxing deaths.

Without this damage that would require a Survival roll would need a ST of 35 or higher (Thrust of 4D-1 +8 for Boxing at DX +2). With middle teens human ST even the incredibly rare 3x damage Crit might not not get you to the necessary threshold.
