Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't agree that your sentence was correct: The boxer launched such blistering blows to knock his opponent off

The boxer knocked out his opponent with a series of blistering blows is one way to rewrite it.

Could you tell me the problem with my sentence, pls?

It's the structure of using "such."

The [person] [verb] such [a noun/nouns] THAT something else happened.
The boxer launched such blistering blows that it was clear to anyone watching that his opponent never stood a chance.

(I don't really like "launched such blistering blows" but grammatically it's okay. I'd prefer "threw such a blistering punch" if you want to keep the blistering part.)

In boxing, you knock someone OUT, not OFF.

This would be okay: The teacher gave the student a blistering scolding to ensure he would understand how serious the situation is.

or this: The teacher gave the teacher such a blistering scolding that the student knew the situation was serious.

I'm not sure I've explained anything, but I hope the examples help.

In my sentence I used "such" as an intensifier of "blistering blows" and I don't think it would affect the rest of the sentence.

But I see that you're examples are better than mine.

I see that to "knock someone off" is to kill him and to "knock someone out" is to render him unconscious...
