:Ever seen Million Dollar Baby where Hillary Swank gets punched while she's not looking? The other woman she's fighting punches her in the side of the head, off guard. As a result, Hillary falls to the ground, hits her neck on a stool and is paralyzed for life. I don't think sucker punches are illegal while the round is in progress (Can you imagine? "Hey, watch out, I'm going to punch you! Here it comes!" lawl.) but is illegal between rounds or when the fighters are forbidden from hitting each other. Should go without saying, but clarification is good :B [[User:Grayda|Grayda]] ([[User talk:Grayda|talk]]) 23:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC) |

Pokémon sucker punch
Do we really need the description of the sucker punch pokémon attack in this article? If we're going to be describing pokémon attacks on Wikipedia, we should make a seperate article on all the attacks. Looneyman 19:40, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
What does "cold-cocked" mean?
(As in "when James Butler cold-cocked Richard Grant...") It's no more self-explanatory than "sucker punch." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.179.92 (talk) 06:25, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- I came here to ask the exact same question. I looked it up and found it means "to knock unconscious", and it's slang, so I'll change it. Maybe the whole thing needs a rewrite, we don't really need to be told punching people unconscious is against the law when it's not part of a boxing match. 87.80.97.137 (talk) 07:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Ambiguity re...
"A sucker punch thrown outside of the rules of boxing is illegal." Aargh. I suppose I could look all of this up and fix it, but what does this sentence mean exactly? Is there such a thing as a sucker punch thrown "inside" the rules of boxing, i.e. in boxing, is a sucker punch only illegal, or can one be delivered legally also? (And if so, under what conditions?)
Maybe this sentence should read, "In boxing, the sucker punch is illegal." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.179.92 (talk) 23:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
