  • The Art of the Perfect Punch, Page 7
    On this page, Brom lists a number of follow-up moves to use against opponents who have been consumed with rage following the successful execution of the 'Look at the thrush!' manoeuvre detailed on a previous page. Most of these seem to rely upon beating a hasty retreat.
