The uppercut is one of Little Mac's signature moves in ''Punch-Out!!''. In ''Punch-Out!!'' for the NES, Little Mac visibly jumps off the ground when he performs any punches to the head, as he is too small to reach his opponents' heads otherwise. The spinning motion bears a strong resemblance to the 3-Star Uppercut from ''Punch-Out!!'' for the Wii, which is a more powerful variant of the uppercut. In ''Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!'', Doc Louis spins in a similar way when he throws a single-star uppercut. | The uppercut is one of Little Mac's signature moves in ''Punch-Out!!''.

The uppercut is a real boxing technique that has existed since the beginning of the sport. It involves a vertical punch that moves directly upwards. It is useful in close ranges and as a counterattack, as the opponent is left wide open and can be caught off gaurd with a high amount of force quickly making contact with the chin or face for massive damage and a potential knockout. | |||
