Ross

I believe the answer is:

knockout

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue is a quadruple definition!!

'result' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'decisive result' mean 'knockout' so perhaps 'result' could also mean 'knockout')

'of' is a link.

'final' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'blow' is the third definition.
(knockout is a kind of blow)

'a beauty' is the fourth definition.
(I know that beauty can be written as knockout)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for knockout that I've seen before include "Boxing blow" , "Stun - defeat - destroy" , "beauty!" , "Render senseless" , "Stunning blow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
