I've seen this particular blow of Hank's mentioned about here and there. McCallum scribed (1974, p 212), They called Armstrongs most chilling punch blackout a peculiar looping right which was neither hook nor jab nor swing but a high flickering fast blow to the chin. It moved about 10 inches, Henry said, a terrible thing to do to anybody. Most of them never saw it coming. Is there any available footage of Henry throwing this punch?
The chopping right hand? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRgnMjSOoak[/ame] 7:20 Usually set up by the left hook to the body. Unfortunately the only film we have of Armstrong is against iron-jawed competition. His constant, compact power punching would do a job on most fighters I'm sure.
Bam! I think that's it. Wow. it's a weird looping but incredibly quick swing. looks like it would hurt. No wonder it defies classification- it very much is a hybrid of a swing, hook, and straight.
