    Actually it was not invented by Kid Gavilan, it was invented by a Filpino Boxer named Ceferino Garcia who said the movement was like when he used a machet to cut sugar canes down.

    If Kid Gavilan invented it it would be called a "Machete Punch" because Spanish for bolo is machete.

    English = Machet

    Spanish = Machete

    Tagalog (Filipino) = Bolo
