Hi Pugguy.
There was an article in a very old Ring mag, that I read about 30 years ago, regarding Kid McCoy and his corkscrew punch, apparently the Kid was at a friends house early in his career, and the guy had a pet cat, for amusement the guy would roll up a wool ball, about the size of a orange, with a thread about 6 inches long, then dangle the ball just in front of his cat, McCoy noticed that just before the cat's paw landed, he would twist it causing more damage to the wool ball than would otherwise be expected, with that the Kid practised the punch avidly for months prior to his big fights, and credited the excessive damage to his opponents face to the " corkscrew punch " you read it here first.
stay safe Pugguy, chat soon.
