BoxRec

Boxercise Bellend Ben Davison opened my eyes last night to a previously unknown boxing punch to me…. The ‘Hollywood Punch’….

Firstly what is a Hollywood punch? I assume it means a devastating power shot that puts a man over and maybe out. Obviously myself, as well as most Boxrec posters do not have the same analytical expertise as guru Ben, but that is my assumption.

Secondly what are recent examples of a successful Hollywood punch?

Povetkin-Whyte 1 has that motion industry feel to it especially after the knockdowns….

Funnily enough Jake Paul has pulled out a Hollywood punch in his last two fights….

What do you guys think? What other examples of a Hollywood punch are available? Castro-John David Jackson?

Mickey Rourke was pretty well known for his

AJ Pulev

OMG don't you know what the Hollywood punch is?

You must be ashamed to post on a boxing website?

I bet you have never eaten in Fosters Hollywood or watched a Rocky movie.

Sam Maxwell v Sabri Sediri.

I prefer the Sam Maxwell shot where he does a bolo on the bag, hits himself with the follow through and goes down. Also gave himself a black eye! Only in Hollywood….

Hahah amazing

Bob Ajisafe vs Bummer Bellow

Michael Sprott v Audley 1

Audley v Michael Sprott 2

Both are examples of the hollywood punch, different fights and different victors.

Renda / Samuels or Haye giving Maccarinelli a haircut in a fight.

Tarver v Jones II

Thanks for the feedback. Guru Boxercise Ben has enlightened us mortals with a new boxing insight and we should be grateful.

I guess it's easy the land a Hollywood punch against poor opposition. Mike Tyson must be one of the Kings of the Hollywood punch, EG against Sammy Scaff. Lol

The Donkey Punch is also incredibly underused .

Billy Walker made a fortune from one Hollywood punch. He flattened a giant American by the name of Cornelius Perry in an amateur international at Wembley back in 1961 (Britain won 10-0.) Heavyweight Billy turned pro and proved a massive draw, selling out Wembley Arena over and over again. He never won a title but featured in some thrilling encounters.

As is the Superman punch, though I have seen it used very effectively in the ams.

Amateurs should not be getting donkey punched,the refs/trainers need to stop this now before it really catches on.

Just another example of how the amateurs are desperately short of resources. No competent referee should find himself unable to prevent a donkey punch.

The Superman punch isn't illegal, is it?

I rember seeing it used in the ABAs once..... TBH its always looked a bit crap to me. The feet are off the ground aren't they? So a lot of power is lost

Does anyone else remember how Carl Froch would use the corkcscrew uppercut every fight and quite literally it never ever worked.

yes and then every fight at least some ppl would predict that he'd win by brutal uppercut ko, but it never happened at least once he started fighting world level
