Talk:Bolo punch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have heard the story that the bolo punch was brought into boxing from eskrima by Filipinos sparring with boxers (I heard specific names, but I'll have to look this up). Any corroboration/contradiction? --Andrew 05:04, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)

I added a reference from the March 27, 1924 Tacoma New-Tribune, which mentioned that Macario Flores was using the bolo punch. I suspect that the punch has no verifiable inventor, and was probably just a natural development of Filipinos being taught the sport during the 1910s.--Matt1978 21:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
