Punching marked (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striking

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'punching' is the first definition.
(both can mean hitting)

'marked' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for striking that I've seen before include "Conspicuously impressive" , "stopping work" , "Attracting attention by reason of being unusual" , "Delivering a blow" , "Conspicuous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
