Bolo punch

[Benncollinsaad]

I've always been fascinated by this punch. I read that it was invented by one Ceferino Garcia. However, I wasn't aware its name always. Very few fighters have been able to master it and the fact that Ibeabuchi used it to ko Chris Byrd is a testament of his talent. Just take a look, once again and enjoy:

yeah... its based on a filipino cutting tool/weapon called the "Bolo"

I thought a bolo punch was a downward hammer punch to the head. Think of holding a mechete and chopping downward with your fist. It's illegal now.

I guessed wrong, then.

i thought a bolo punch is when a guy spins his hands to distract the opponent.

Oh and I thought a bolo punch is when you swing your arm around and hit them.

Isn't the bolo punch the when you swing your hand in a circle then throw it from the bottom?

Like Leonard did to Hagler?
