Singapore's very own fighters in the past

Kun, the man with the legendary punch. It was mentioned by people that his punch was so heavy that he had once made his opponent spitted out blood at one tournament. He took up a few jobs before and his jobs actually helped to train up his punches as they required him to use a lot of arm strength and to strengthen his grip. One example of his jobscope would be hammering steel.

His punch was so heavy that even his opponent was wearing a padding, he could still feel the power and impact from him. The story of the opponent who spitted blood out started many years ago at a tournament when he openly acclaimed that his punch is no. 1 in the world. He was strong with his punches which helped him in many matches that eventually helped him to get his national champion title. But his arrogance made him conceited and made some people irked him. One of them who seemed to show his disliking was Kun.

Upon hearing the statement that his punch is world’s no. 1, Kun actually went over and said to him: “ I will meet you next year at the nationals.” Both indeed joined the national championship next year and really made it to the final. There, Kun executed his legendary punch, just one punch right at his chest swiftly and that guy spitted out blood on the spot. He gave that game up as Kun’s punch was too heavy for him. Kun won.

Kun has not only made a name for himself with his punches, he has also trained up another well known champion, Hock. Hock soon became another legend after his coach.
