I was at the Blue Horizon and a welterweight named Henry Lundy threw a behind the back punch twice both of which landed. I had never seen this before. Is it just me or is this unheard of?

Pernell Whitaker did it a few times.

pernell whitaker used to do it

damnit beat me to it lol

A behind the back punch??? I dont understand? How does that work??

Is it like the foul punch Calzaghe hit Jeff Lacy with?? - When Calzaghe had Lacy in a clinch/pseudo headlock, in which Calzaghe punched Lacys head from around his back?

BINGO!! you got it,
pernell did that many times, i think first time i saw him do it was against nelson

Boxers will get away with it when the ref's not doing their job right.

i dont understand why they would get penalized for it, its like penalizing augustus for dancing.. thats stupid

it goes under the rule of holding and hittng witch is a nono

I feel really bad for Augustus. He has seriously been robbed of more fights than anyone in history. He just has a way of pissing of refs. He is such a good fighter too. Floyd Mayweather said that his fight vs Augustus was the hardest fight of his career.

If you havnt seen it, I would recomend watching the Mayweather vs Augustus fight, its brilliant.

the ref had nothing to do with him getting robbed, he is fun tho watch but the reason he got robbed are his fault, he should of faught the whole round, just like i don't feel bad for winky getting a draw against taylor , when u step into the ring you have to be ready to fight for 3 minutes

Are you kidding me? Have you actualy seen the bullshit refs do to him? He has been DQed penalized, and everything else you can think of for no legitmate reason other than his fighting style.

lol this thread wasnt about augustus and i seem to ssee posts about augustus all the time.. but yeah, i feel sorry for augustus and what happened to him. im actually a big fan of him, and hes like what.. 33 now? his best years are past him and i doubt he'll ever get that title shot everyone wanted him to get just because of the record.
it's a shame he seems to focused on interviews but takes short notice fights like most recently when he did against kid dynamite and lost and seemed completely unfocused. oh well, he said he needed the money...

I don't think it is illegal because he wasn't holding the head he was just throwing it as part of a combination. The refferee was looking right at him both times. It wasn't something he just snuck in there it was clear and obvious. The might show this fight on June 14 on Comcast as an undercard fight for some local guy named Harry Joe Yorgey. Look out for the guy his name is Henry Lundy.
