one-two combo
Jab then cross
A one-two combo is a rapid sequence of two punches in boxing—a jab with the lead hand followed immediately by a cross with the rear hand.
The phrase extends to any quick pairing of actions or events that work together: The heat and humidity hit us like a one-two combo.
Also called a one-two punch.
