The Boxing Punch to Avoid

I've talked about punches to use in the ring... But what about those that you should not? Here, I explain the boxing punch to avoid. In boxing, the "Rabbit Punch" is illegal (you will likely be disqualified), as it has potentially life-threatening consequences.

Rabbit Punch
This punch is when a boxer aims at his or her opponent's head or neck.
Why Not This Punch?
If you hit there, you risk causing unconsciousness, brain damage, paralysis, or even death. This punch is illegal in boxing as a safety precaution.

Here is a video that clearly demonstrates what a rabbit punch entails:

Even as an outside viewer, it looks very dangerous. I would definitely suggest avoiding similar attacks!
