    Watch this from around 2:14 - 2:23.

    Ross throws a quadruple left hook (I don't think I've ever seen that before), then follows it up with a double left hook, then a double jab.

    The only other fighers I've seen throw one-handed volleys that quickly and fluidly were Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan. I don't think I've ever seen anyone throw eight left hands in quick succession like this.

    Man, I just put up some footage of these two elsewhere.

    They are very fast punches, but Sugar got more on them - they are a little bit arm, a coule of these punches.

    I've never seen the fight but there was a report in Boxing News in the 80's of Sot Chitalada ending a fight with 8 consecutive left hooks. I only remember it after all this time because, as you say, its so unusual.

    But Chuck Davy is no Jimmy McLarin.

    What ross show there is pretty impressive imo. Of couse in the 3rd fight, for the most part, Ross did box McLarin's ears off.

    Yeah, with his right hand incredibly enough. He tripled up on his right hand a few times in that fight.

    yeh i knew he did it with 1 hand a huge salvo.

    he did it afew times but he had one assualt at the end of the round where he threw about 10 with his right.

    But as aformentioned 'Chuck Davey aint no Jimmy McLarnin'

    I don't know. It was aired nationally but then again so was Lou Nova vs Tony Galento (on theaters) and I haven't seen that either.

    I believe you read these articles already:
