Famous Punches In Boxing History

- -As I recalled Snipes' Shot was better.

When Larry got up, he turned his back to head the turnbuckle that near dropped him again. Many refs would have stopped it then, and most now given the liability issues.

Coetzee whooped Snipes thoroughly previous, but the suits and Lar drew the colour line because he was South African even though he was quite popular in the black townships whenever he fought there.

That was a really good shot.

Didn't Gatti come from behind to knock out an opponent with a single left hook?

He then landed a viscous left hook to the head a bit after the body shot.
THE great cut man Joe Souza earned his pay that night.
Saved Gatti first title defense.
I was there that night.
His faced swelled up fast .
He faught to fast after beating Tracy Patterson

- -Another great one is Jess Willard's leaping right hand late in the JJOHNSON fight.

JJ splotto on the canvas for near 5 min and had to be dragged to his stool for more recovery.

Put up a great fight until that pt. I was impressed with JJ advanced training for this fight. He was not well educated, but he could read, write, and figure and absorbed a lot of culture in England, France, and Oz where he fought Burns.

JJ knew he could no longer run, so incorporated daily one hr swims in the Caribbean to supplement his boxing routine.

I was wondering today if there were any more body punches with names besides the scissors punch and the solar plexus punch? Body punching itself had a nickname though of the body snatcher.

- -El Gancho Izquierdo is the Mexican left hook to the liver.

The literal translation is The Left Hand, but that's not how Mexican fighters use it.

I picked it up on the old Telefutura promotions that Oscar use to promote on the US border. In spite of not being so popular with Mexicans for beating up a faded Chavez Sr, whenever Oscar showed up he was mobbed like a rock star.

Saw a lot of up and comers on those promotions like Miguel Cotto and his bro, and Brian Viloria and Kermit Cintron.

Good times!

Good to know that terminology especially sparring in South America/Mexico. I sparred in those parts and it’d have been nice to hear the coaches advice while you’re sparring his fighter. No bueno to fail to understand how they’re adapting

Kid MCcoy the corkscrew punch. A twist at the end would cut and inflict more damage...or so it was alleged. I can't see it but a lot of boxing trainers did say that the claim had merit.

Does a twist at the end of the punch really increase any potency? George Dillman claims that hitting pressure points at the right angle and in the right combo will have a tremendous affect on the target. But when watching him to me it looks like Dillman just hits people really hard. I mean it I tell you I will drop you with a "tap" and my "tap" is really hard well you see the problem? With Kid MCcoy he hit people hard, whether his famous corkscrew was an added benefit who can say.

[The Old LefHook]

After careful consideration the panel of expert judges has decided to allow the corkscrew punch onto the list without an asterisk. Though it differs from a moniker like Susie-Q, for it is an actual technique which can be applied with either mitt, the descriptive appellation of corkscrew gives the punch physical identity.
