My best guess would be that it is either Tommy Hearns style or Ricky Hatton's style. Since I have never heard of that style, im thinking it is something to do with Ricky Hatton's pressure style of fighting.

i would guess since it refers to the term HITMAN, that the style includes persice, accurate, yet a vicious tactical approach! Sorta like a HITMAN, not Ricky "the hitman" Hatton or Tommy "the hitman" Hearns!

Prolly the intense head hunting with the intent of one punch ko.
But, honestly I have never heard of that term.

The hitman style

The Hitman style was a term used to define Thomas "the hitman" hearns boxing style. Due to being gifted with height and punching power Hearns would lower his left arm down near his stomach and bend his angle at ninety degrees. This allowed him to use a punch known as the flicker jab which is a jab that can be fired at different angles. Another reason the arm was down so low was to lure opponents to attack the unprotected side of the head. This leads them into a trap where someone with superior range can keep the opponent at bay with the flicker and then build into
More combos. I'm not an expert so sorry if I got some little details wrong. I will be posting a video showing what the stance looks like since I suck at explaining visuals
