This compendium of perfect punches hosted by British boxing expert Barry Hearn may set some kind of record for the number of devastating blows landed in the space of an hour and 15 minutes. Compiled from film footage shot at English arenas, punches of all varieties come fast and furious, and it seems that someone's back is always bouncing off the canvas. Hearn appears throughout to offer his insights to particular fighters and their devastating arsenal of punches. Among the boxers seen battering their opponents are Lennox Lewis, Herbie Hide, and Prince Naseem Hamed. There are also brief interviews with boxers, plus shots that establish the atmosphere at particular bouts. But for the most part the punches themselves are the stars of the show. Various types of knockout punches are profiled, such as a segment on "body punches," which, as Hearn cogently notes, can "put someone down on the floor just as quickly as a punch to the head." And while the footage is of generally high quality, with slow-motion replays provided so dedicated fight fans can see exactly how a devastating blow was landed, there's no denying that things can get a little repetitive. But for those fight fans who revel in the power punch, this production may be a knockout. --Robert J. McNamara

By	GOST30 (st.charles, il. United States) - See all my reviews

ON THE COVER IS LEWIS VS BRIGGS,UNLESS I MISSED SOMETHING IT'S NOT ON THE DVD? THE DVD IS ALL FIGHTS OF FIGHTERS FROM EUROPE AS FOR LEWIS AND HAMED IT WAS THEIR FIRST COUPLE OF FIGHTS AS A PRO AND DEFINITELY NOT THEIR BEST KNOCK OUTS.THIS DVD IS ONLY FIGHTS FROM ONE PROMOTER IN EUROPE,UNLESS YOU'RE A DEVOTED FIGHT FAN OF EUROPEAN FIGHTERS YOU MAY BE DISAPPOINTED.THERE ARE DECENT KNOCK OUTS BUT I DONT RECOGNIZE THE FIGHTERS.DONT LET THE COVER THROW YOU A CURVE IT'S NOT WHAT IT APPEARS.
