Punches landed excessively on your ear (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
one-two
'punches' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Quick punches' mean 'one two' so perhaps 'punches' could also mean 'one two')
'landed excessively on your ear' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for one-two that I've seen before include "Pair of punches with both hands in quick succession" , "Interpassing at football - left-right at boxing" , "Blow using fists' digits" , "Soccer move" , "Pair of blows in boxing" .)
