Killer lands jabs and hooks ? Cold cocks the woman

I don't ever remember seeing a movie psycho who just Cold Cocks his victim with his fists unless you go back to the 1980's with Ram Rod (Wings Hauser)in Vice Squad. It was very noticeable as different as the killer employed this tactic several times. The killer wasn't that imposing either. He had a howdy doodie thing going and seemed as compatible visually with the young girl as the kid who played her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was not that pleasant behavior wise so I was looking for a twist where she relents to the stranger. When he had her down and straddle her sitting on her chest, that was so not a horror movie move at all.

DEAD CONNECTION is a serial killer film from the Nineties in which the bad guy beat his victims to death with his fists. What made these scenes particularly unpleasant was the fact that the killer was portayed by Gary Stretch, a former highly-ranked professional super-middleweight who actually fought for the world title. Stretch's punching proficiency leads the viewer to believe that he quite probably COULD murder his victims with his hands alone. The film also starred Michael Madsen. Steve V.

I'm going to look for it and hope it doesn't disappoint (nowadays you can find just about everything on line streaming for a price). I find this style of movie LOL funny because basicallly the underlying fact is that if you could handle yourself with your hands, you should be alright. This is unusual for in most horror of the Wrong Turn and Hills Have Eyes Elk, you are outnumbered, in the dark, defenseless to a lethat sharp weapon or otherwise at a disadvantage. I'm sorry, I've met my match in my time, but I can't see nobody lumping me up to death.
