I have the kind of face that people want to punch.
People say I don’t punch hard, but I say, ‘Get in the ring with me and see if it hurts.’
In the battle of existence, Talent is the punch; Tact is the clever footwork.
Son, never throw a punch at a redwood.
When you don’t know how to fight you tend to put all your energy into one punch. That will tire you out quickly. You learn to keep energy in reserve and use your body in an efficient manner.
Boxing is serious. It’s not a game. Just one punch – change life.
My dad got sent off for punching Roberto Mancini in the face. It was in the European Cup-Winners’ Cup quarter-final in 1991, and if you look on YouTube, you will have confirmation. It’s a very clear punch. He just went straight through him. I can’t wait to play against Mancini now. Maybe he will remember.
Anything can happen in the Octagon, so of course, we all want to win, but I know it’s a sport, so one punch can make you lose.
Angulo presents a difficult challenge because he’s a fighter who can punch and take a great punch.
My character isn’t supposed to be flashy and be over-the-top. I’m supposed to be dirty in the ring. I’m supposed to kick and punch, and I’m supposed to cheat and find ways to win at all costs.
I’m one of those guys: I’m out there trying to punch you out and to hurt you, but as soon as I’m done, hopefully there’s nothing wrong with you; I’m hoping that you’re okay.
I can go and fight, take one punch, and have a concussion and start having issues with it, or I can wrestle my entire career and never have a concussion. It’s just a hazard of the business.
I’m more likely to give you a cuddle than a punch in the face. I have a soft side, especially with my girlfriend. I send her flowers and use my culinary skills to pull off romantic meals. I do great Thai dishes.
I have just come from a couple of raids, where we had a very lively time, and some of them had to pull their guns. I found it necessary to punch a few sports myself.
For three months, we kept going into these writing sessions going, ‘Man, I just heard this song on the radio, and it told me to slide my sugar shaker over.’ If any guy spoke to us the way those country songs spoke to women, it would not be good for that guy. I would probably punch him in the face.
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
I was right in the middle of a story and leading to a punch line and then I just heard ‘John John’ and I just looked around. I could see someone in the shadows walking forward and he said ‘John I can’t find me seat lad, d’ya know where me seat is?’ I looked at him and it was my uncle Dave.
Most guys don’t super jam because when you lunge forward, you can’t retreat. You have to stay in there and commit to it. So you have to be confident that you can deliver a strong punch and disrupt the receiver.
I am happy to defend my title. It was a good performance from Chisora. I don’t want to make excuses – it was not easy – but I saw every punch from Chisora. I am upset because I wanted to finish the fight before 12 rounds.
Every boxer needs to be able to punch, but none more than me, and that’s because I’m not that skilful, and I’m one of the smallest heavyweights you’ll ever see.
I really don’t punch with my left hand anyways.
I like the rhythm of comedy in dramas, if that makes sense. In other words, I don’t want to write setup, punch, setup, punch, where the joke dictates the scene; I want to find comedy in which the drama is actually driving the moment in the scene.
You have got to not get hit. You could be the best puncher in the world, but if you’re going to keep constantly taking punches you’re going to lose your heart. Once you learn how to miss the punches and then you start to punch them, you become an all-around fighter.
My mother is very funny. She is from a village; she has a typical village kind of humour. Often she says a lot of things she herself isn’t aware is a punch line.
We didn’t shoot in 3-D. They’ve talked about doing a conversion and there’s been a lot of talk about us doing ‘Sucker Punch’ in 3-D, but I’m still waiting to see.
‘The Weeds’ is a timely podcast from the news and opinion website Vox. It leaves the coverage of the Punch and Judy politics to others and confines itself to the details of policy.
The first punch I learned was the jab. Second, the cross punch; third, the hook – after that, all the combinations and how to move my head and feet. It took me just two months to be ready to get in the ring!
With the second ‘Captain America,’ we really pushed the envelope in terms of what this guy is capable of, which I was excited to see. Because in the first ‘Captain America,’ he’s just strong. In ‘Avengers,’ it was still, in my opinion, a little bit ‘punch, punch, kick, kick.’
Guys see that I come to work every day, punch the clock. They see that, and I think my voice is respected because of it.
Growing up in the days when you still had to punch buttons to make a telephone call, I could recall the numbers of all my close friends and family. Today, I’m not sure if I know more than four phone numbers by heart. And that’s probably more than most.
I showed that I can fight without boxing, that I can take a punch.
This heavyweight division, it takes just one punch for anyone. It doesn’t matter how hard you train or what.
Boxing is made for film – there is corruption, violence, tragedy and the chance that the underdog can catch the champion with one lucky punch.
Once I’d reached the point where I could squirrel away more than 30 digits a minute in memory palaces, I still only sporadically used the techniques to memorize the phone numbers of people I actually wanted to call. I found it was just too simple to punch them into my cell phone.
Say you can’t put one foot in front of the other, you punch like a child, and you’re not flexible at all. We’ll show you some aikido, some ground jujitsu, some gun stuff, some knife moves. We can make a pretty good-size dent with that.
‘Sucker Punch’ is a big girl power movie.
There’s no such thing as a lucky punch. You throw to hurt someone and if you hurt someone, job done.
When someone unloads on me, I keep my head moving; I don’t freeze. I punch back with them. The occasion never gets to me. Not one bit. I enjoy it.
In this age of social media, it is easy to punch out a phrase ‘thoughts are with the family’ when something bad occurs, and at times, it is insincere.
The heavyweight division is dangerous because one punch can end everything.
I lost six months of work due to throwing open punches and took a punch on the chin.
An actor can give his best shot but the script and dialogues have to have punch to make it more effective.

I loved ‘Funny Lady’ for whatever reason. People say they didn’t know I could sing and dance. Well, nobody ever asks me – it’s always, ‘Punch this guy.’
I’m going to shut Chris Weidman down in the first round. I’m gonna expose him in the second round. And I’m gonna finish him with a left kick followed by a left punch, simultaneously.
I always told everybody the perfect joke would be where the setup and punch line were identical.
I believe in simplicity. Where some people in TNA take the high-flying back flip route, I’ll replace that with a punch or a nice kick square to the face.
I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn, the Punch Brothers, and Marc Johnson, the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio, there’s a lot of bluegrass there.
The last time I threw a punch was in primary school, and that was probably a slap.
Saying gay people shouldn’t be the punchline is basically saying don’t make people the punch line, which I think is ridiculous. The whole point of comedy is, on some level, to make fun of ourselves and put everything into an absurdist context.
Getting hit motivates me. It makes me punish the guy more. A fighter takes a punch, hits back with three punches.
I want to feel like I’m doing something creative and trying different things, putting different hats on and playing. I don’t know what’s the point otherwise; otherwise, it’s just a job. You punch a time clock.
I use a lot of fresh citrus, garlic, and fresh herbs when cooking to cut down on fat and sodium but punch up flavor. Our cupboards and fridge are full of condiments – mustards, vinegars, etc. that also add tons of flavor but are low in fat, calories, or other processed additives.
One thing I can’t prove, but I firmly believe is that two men were put on this earth – one threw a punch and a third guy came over and watched. And that happened before anybody ever threw or kicked a ball.
Scoring two goals to win a game will hurt an opponent more than a punch in the face.
I trained as hard as I could, I ran as much as I could, I sparred hard, I did everything right. I did everything I could possibly do at the age when I could fight. You have to be realistic; you can’t say, ‘Oh, I am smarter now, older and I can punch harder.’ You think you can, but you can’t.
The film Punch – Drunk Love is how you see the world when you’re in love. You don’t see somebody’s psychological baggage necessarily, you see the person walking out of the light.
