you don't want to use it in the ring, because rightly speaking it's a foul, but you will find it mighty useful if any thick-neck comes up to you in the street and tries to start anything. it's this way. while he's setting himself for a punch, just place the tips of the fingers of your left hand on the right side of the chest. then bring down the heel of your left hand. there isn't a guy living that could stand up against that. the fingers give you a leverage to beat the band. the guy doubles up, and you upper-cut him with your right, and out he goes.' now, i bet you never knew that before, mr. philpotts. try it on your parishioners."
