A bolo punch is used by boxers, but very rarely. It involves one of he arms going in a circle to distract the opponent. Which ever arm the opponent looks at, the other strikes the opponent. So it's a fake out basically.
I don't know about a wing punch.

Those are new to me as well. Do you have a style to associate with them?

A bolo punch is the default drunken street brawler's punch, he pulls his dominant hand out of the invisible holster on his hip and throws a big wide hook at you. I've heard it's also used by boxers as a decoy (very occasionally) as cathal mentioned, albeit in a much more refined manner than the drunk.

The most classic bolo punch of all time was used by Sugar Ray Leonard against Roberto Duran. I'm sure you could find it on the web. Everyone (including Sugar Ray) was surprised that it worked in a championship fight. I believe in the same fight, Duran ended up giving up by raising his hands and exclaiming, "no mas!"

On a side note, has anyone ever heard of, or seen (maybe in the back of a bar next to some kind of gym) a bolo kick?
And yes, why are you punching a brick?
