Punches landed excessively on your ear (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one-two

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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 present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

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" .)
