LMFAO Superman Punch is legal for Floyd vs Conor

[Eff Pandas]

This is hilarious & kinda interesting cuz I would have just assumed the superman punch would be illegal in boxing. I've certainly never seen a superman punch get thrown in a boxing match but apparently it'll be a legal. And I'd be willing to bet we see one cuz any edge or thing Floyd hasn't seen that Conor can do, Conor absolutely has to take advantage in in this fight.

Here's Espinoza saying its a legal punch.


Here's what a superman punch is for those unaware.


Here's a superman punch used in a MMA bout.

Is it not legal already? I mean, I get that it's a bit of a feint (knee to the body), but it's still a punch

This so called fight gets more ridiculous by the day.

Yea apparently it is legal now. I've just never seen it thrown in a boxing match.

Matter of fact I've seen a spinning backfist in boxing (dude got warned for that bs), but not a superman punch.

I don't even like the punch in MMA. I used to hate seeing GSP throw that in his fights.

I've never seen it in a boxing match either. And from what I can gather, it's a pretty ballsy move to try in the MMA octagon

[SN!PER]

That punch looks so ******ed.

There's no way he lands that thing on Floyd.

Should have asked for the double punch ala augustus/pacquiao. Floyd will have a harder time dodging two fists at once.

I was pretty confident in Floyd winning, but now...
