Kid McCoy's Corkscrew Punch   Message List

Re: Kid McCoy's Corkscrew Punch

I still wouldn't call the corkscrew a "circular" punch as the fist
does not loop in from the outside as in a hook or overhand. All the
descriptions from the Kid's opponent's that I have read all describe
it as a quick straight punch to the solar plexus that colapes the
lungs. Other then that, it was a good read. Seems he's done some
research.
