rjjr did it against richard hall

[David UK]

Judah caught Cotto with a couple of bolos which were mistakenly called uppercuts by the commentators

Depends if you call him 'modern' but Eusebio Pedroza was well known for that punch.

Using the bolo is dangerous.Its like throwing an uppercut from long range, it leaves you wide open.Roy Jones used it on occassion , when he had an outclassed opponent in front of him.Only someone reallly quick can use it, and it really isn't an effective punch anyway.Its showy and can further frustrate a confused fighter, but it is not a powerful punch.The guy who made the punch famous and used it to best effect was Kid Gavilan, but threre was only one Kid , and when most people use it , its just a waste of time and energy.

Botha used one against Tyson, I seem to remember...

No its a genuine punch, kind of like an uppercut but brought from lower down by the knees.

I thought the bolo punch was where you wound up with one arm and then hit them with the other, like Sugar Ray Leonard did?

I have cleared it up...:deal

The way Leonard sometimes used it the bolo is the second punch after the fake, but the fake has nothing to with the second punch being called a bolo. You could throw the bolo without the fake and it would still be a bolo.

[Grabonator]

I often use the bolo punch in street fights beating up dumbasses.

































No just kidding.

[MrSmall]

The bolo punch is where you wind up your arm and hit him with up.
Kinda like in Asterix!

Depends if you call him 'modern' but Eusebio Pedroza was well known for that punch.
