Bolo punch

[TheGreatA]

I posted this here before but it was seemingly ignored:

Filipino boxer Macario Flores is the earliest-known practitioner of this punch. According to the March 27, 1924 Tacoma News Tribune (Tacoma, WA, USA): "Flores lets his right hand go just as his country men throw a bolo knife. The blow is not only hard, but it is as fast as a streak of lightning, being almost impossible to follow with the human eye."

This is the origin of the term.

The spanish likely got the term Bolo from the Philippines. Next thing you will tell me is that the Manila Mangos sold in Mexico originated in spain too.

bundok came from the american word boondocks since we were part of the u.s. for 50 years.

You guys can look that up too. but I think it is the opposite. Boondocks came from the word bundok so it had Filipino origins. Look it and correct me if I am wrong.

Whatever dog. You got your facts twisted. They use the word Bolo in indonesia too which is linguistically similar to the Philippines . Bolo is a southeast asian word.

Languages work like that, people like words and they stick then they get used going forward as part of their own language. It happeans a lot~
