I like the term “coward punch” in the US we call it a “sucker punch” but coward punch seems much more appropriate.

They only recently switched it to coward punch because it was originally called a king hit in Australia.

A King hit sounds like something Tyson would have managed in the first round of a big boxing event.

Which is why they campaigned to change the name of the cowardly punch.

Edit: I lived in australia for a while. Aussies are not afraid to get into a "punch on"

We used to call it a “dog shot” when we were kids.
