(sigh) dude, it's called a shoulder roll, a common technique in boxing.

Sorry that I don't know how to transfer the graphics... but you get the idea---- things look similar but are not the same. <g>

Hater?? I am a hater because I think only an idiot would think this very common boxing defensive technique which has been around a loonngg time originated from 52 block? Yup, I hate having to listen to or read utter stupidity like that.
Here's some more clueless and utter rediculousness that, IMO, this forum could do without:

Not a bong sau per se but it does use bong sau like principle. I think he uses the bicep with a waist turn to subtly redirect the punch. A fighter is possessed of high skill that can pull this off. I can see the similarities. The bong sau uses the same edge but further down. But I can totally see someone using something like whats pictured in VT except turning on a vertical axis.

I'd agree, not a bong-sau exactly, but sharing certain obvious traits. Boxing, considered over it's whole history actually shares quite a few traits with WCK. Not that they were ever related, rather it's a simple matter of convergent evolution i.e. similar forms emerging in response to similar environmental pressures.
As a matter of fact, on our lineage we do have an upper arm bong-sau or "shoulder-bong" applied with a turn aside. However, it's use is restricted to very special circumstances in which your hand is trapped down... not freely against a punch as shown here.
I feel the same. Looking at the evolution of MA all over the world, the arts evolve to adapt the purpose; some for one on one fighting, some for millitary, some for gang warfare, some for large weapons on battle fields and armours, some for domestic situations etc.
And as the world changes, we will see further evolutions and extinctions.
