No announcement yet.
Amazing how some pro (full time) boxers can only punch on one side

The spinning front fist is another available technique.
An opponent with fast enough footwork can hit his opponent in the face from behind. That is a perfectly legal punch.
Finally, the body-flip punch. Now that punch has some power in it! Imaginre being stiff armed by a man coming out out of a full flip. Rings can be made a little larger to encourage this new technique.

Ever played Street Fighter 2? There's a character named Balrog that's patterned after Mike Tyson. I remember on the undercard of some fight on PPV in the early '90s, a guy was raring back and doing that same half spin punch that Balrog does. The announcers seemed confused as it left him wide open for a counter punch. Wish I could remember the fight. It's probably on youtube. I remember watching it thinking, hey, he's doing the Balrog punch from Street Fighter 2 haha.
I'm surprised I haven't seen someone try the superman punch in boxing too, where you throw a punch in mid jump. Pernell Whitaker used to do a great behind the back punch when he was in the clinch.

Street Fighter 1 1986 had a boxer named Mike this was coincidence bc Tyson was not on the scene .

Oh yeah, heard about that, was called Mike Bison. I just wish I could remember that fight where the guy actually threw that big Balrog punch. He must have been playing that game a lot haha.

Alex is mighty. His stamina would be unprecedented if not for Juggy, who has a former celebrity girlfriend to assist him. I imagine he lives off her, if she has a nickel left. More likely the poor things dumpster dive after dark, working in tandem.
In the meantime I am left wondering who the fastest one-sided puncher was. His other hand had to be almost useless for punching. Cooney fits pretty well, but so does Frazier. Who had the poorer right hand? They were both awful with it. But at least Frazier was throwing his. Anyone else. Morrison had a poor right, didn't he?
