A sucker punch, also known as a one hit punch, coward-punch, king hit (Australian English), or cold-cock (American English), is a punch made without warning, allowing no time for preparation or defense on the part of the recipient. The term is generally used in situations where the way in which the punch has been delivered is considered unfair or unethical. In practice, this often includes punches delivered from close-range or behind. In boxing, a sucker punch thrown outside of the rules is illegal. For example, when James Butler knocked Richard Grant unconscious after losing a fight to him on points, his license was suspended. Because sucker punches come unexpectedly, people at risk of such blows must be alert to the proximity of potential opponents. During 2013 and 2014, there was significant media attention in Australia on two violent killings involving one hit punches. Noting that 91 people had died in Australia in the previous four years from brain trauma as a result of being king-hit, a media campaign was launched to refer to king-hits as coward punches. This campaign was supported by the New South Wales Government.〔 ==Culture and media== The sucker punch has been adapted into many films, video games and other forms of media. It can be used to show the antagonist's vileness, the low moral of an anti-hero, betrayal of someone close to the protagonist, etc., but it also can be used as a weapon of the protagonist to deal with an unfair situation.〔In the Lucas Arts 1992 game'' Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis'', page 7 of the (game manual ) states that ''"In most cases, you can 'sucker punch' your opponent and win the fight. Keep in mind that you don't get IQ points for using this option."''〕 A sucker punch is a major dramatic element in the 2004 film ''Million Dollar Baby''. The term "sucker punch" was widely discussed after the New York Jets' starting quarterback Geno Smith was "sucker punched" by a fellow player, IK Enemkpali on August 11th, 2015. The altercation was in the locker room, and pertained to compensation regarding a $600 airplane ticket. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sucker punch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
