To be honest, outside of downplaying Rob Lucci, there is no reason for fans to be adamant that Jinbei didn't hit Lucci. Oda is actually portraying a Zoan being a tank, like they're supposed to be.
Zoro won. Lucci is all cut up, and barely able to move, while Zoro clearly could follow up, if given the opportunity. But instead of giving credit to Lucci for his endurance, which Zoans are supposed to have (Especially awakened ones), we got people downplaying it for absolutely no reason.
