Is the Superman punch an illegal move in boxing?

Uppercut to the face

Or do boxers just not care to implement it? https://media.giphy.com/media/THCwSa4GKPUronYiJ2/giphy.gif https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ImpressiveGenuineImpala-size_restricted.gif You’d get KTFO throwing those type of wild strikes.

I remember Manny did a double punch on Clottey. Ref ruled it illegal. What rule is that?!?

it is a good way to get knocked out that is a very low percentage punch I think MMA fighters get away with it because of the extra distance, and because of their stance...and because very few MMA fighters can throw a proper counter, or punch in between their opponents shots.

Chavez actually knocked mayweather down with one lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RO-8eLCVVss

It works in muay Thai and MMA because they have to worry about knees and kicks so it's a nice "fake low, strike high" move. But in boxing nobody is going to bite on that sh¡t. Pretty much...most mma fighters that do it over exaggerate it too. It’s not even very effective in that sport most of the time cuz guys throw it from a mile away.

Illegal or not it would be a stupid move against even an amateur level fighter. It’s effective in MMA because you have to worry about kicks and punches. In boxing jumping in the air for only a punch would leave you open to any number of counters.

Meant to feign a kick .... no leg kicks in boxing.

It would never work in boxing because kicks aren't allowed. Only works in mma because it fakes your opponent into thinking you'll kick.

do you really think that stupid punch will work in boxing?? fooking this. This might be the most casual thread I've ever seen on NSB and I've been here since 2010. http://replygif.net/i/1383.gif

Chavez hit Mayweather with a sort of jumping punch didn't he?

No. It's legal. It's just a stupid punch that no pro boxer would ever throw and no decent pro boxer would ever get hit by.Good boxers throw quick short punches that have a good chance to land on a boxer with a good defense. They don't throw a leaping punch that anyone can seem coming and make miss and counter. No boxing trainer teaches his boxers the superman punch because it's a useless punch in pro boxing even if it sometimes works on far less skilled MMA guys.

Would be like baseball’s eephus pitch. It would be amusing to mix it in maybe once every couple of fights but if didn’t totally catch your opponent of guard, it would be your azs.

3 things can happen with the SP and 2 of them are bad.:D

Lol ha ha. I think Chavez Sr did that vs Floyd mayweathers uncle roger

I would love to see someone try that mess on the elite level

The point of that punch is to feint a leg kick. Plus it’s stupid looking.

So it’s like a falcon punch with a running head start? Sigh. No.
