There’s an interesting read on movie punch sounds over at The Wall Street Journal.

In the article, author Don Steinberg talks to sound designers Odin Benitez, Leslie Shatz, Scott Gershin, Mark Mangini, John Morris and Wylie Stateman about how punch sounds are created, and how they’ve evolved. In relation to the article he has also compiled a playlist of punch sounds from no less than 12 movies.
