Kid Gavilan, byname of Gerardo Gonzalez (born Jan. 6, 1926, Camagüey, Cuba—died Feb. 13, 2003, Miami, Fla., U.S.), Cuban professional boxer and world welterweight champion who was known for his “bolo punch,” a searing right hook-cum-uppercut - which still remains one of the most exciting shots in a boxer's armoury. While the modern tendency of baiting opponents has seen the bolo punch used frequently, few fighters have emulated the sweeping style of Gavilan, who claimed to have perfected the motion from his years using a machete on Cuba's sugar plantations.
