    "bam, bam, bam, bang"

    Yoel Judah uses this to mean jab, left hook, right hook, left uppercut

    You gotta chop 'em like a tree from the bottom up... (Go to the body)
    1st you kill the body the head will fall after... (Attack the body 1st then go to the head)
    Your going for the grandslam but you ain't put no men on base yet... (Stop looking for the big shot, work the body THEN go upstairs)

    All somewhat similar instructions.

    I was always fond of Angelo Dundee's advice to George Foreman (I forget which fight, it was during his comeback) "Just keep boppin' in there"
