A MT kick to the head, on the other hand, has the full force of the body behind it and, while its power is still diminished it has enough to knock a man out.
Keep in mind I've never been hit with either kick in the head, so I'm not sure of the effects, this is just theory from trying to kick at that level for both.

13 second knockouts/downs in Kyokushin matches using a snapkick to the head so snapkick have knockoutpower just like the MT kicks
