Very few fighters use them becaus they take too much time. Naco Barrio is onethat does.
I'm being a bit facetious, Ted. Of course I'm not referring to the "bolo punches" of the Kid Gavilan and Sugar Ray Leonard days. They are just very dramatic and telegraphed blows to the back of the head that can be lethal. I'm sure, as we are both boxing fans, you wouldn't want to see a fighter get killed in the ring over such flagrant indiscretions.
