If with , continuity gives a small disk on which . Multiplying by gives the two required bounds.
Conversely, set on the punctured disk. The upper bound makes bounded, so the allowed removable-singularity theorem gives a holomorphic extension. The lower bound gives by continuity. Therefore has a pole of exact order . The lower bound is essential: the upper bound alone only proves order at most .
