I have never seen knock-out from front kick,though it is possible but very,very rare occurrence.
.
Front kick hits to face(heel to jaw or part of foot below toes to face/nose) is usually just 1st step in some offensive combination.
-hits to tight can be used both as off and def(breaking opps combination or dis balancing him and attacking)
-hits to body are usually defensive in nature(unless targeting liver) or as push,while evaluating opponent.
