Beterbiev and rabbit punching

[Lomasexual]

Is it just me, or is Beterbiev legitimately the worst offender for rabbit punching in the sport?

Why does it happen so often... is he dirty, or is it a stylistic accident?

... he also punches with his forearms...

I mentioned that in the live thread of one of his fights. It's a REALLY bad habit to be in. Prichard Colon comes to mind.

In one of his fights? Which one? That's rhetorical - because it could have been any of them... he does it over and again in every fight.

It has really put me off him as a fighter. I used to like him because of his power and aggression, but the rabbit punch thing is disgraceful.

Krusher might solve this problem

Beterbiev's punches are all from very short range, he comes really close inside and has a left hook that he seems to only need two inches to get off and cause massive damage.


That seems to always be the punch that is prone to rabbit punching though, You can train all you want, but heavybags don't have head movement.


It's like Wilder's first KD on Fury. UK fans were saying it was illegal because it hit Fury in the back of the head, but Fury had ducked into it...

Don't thin its intentional, he's just very raw as a fighter, sometimes he smothers his own work a bit because his judge of distance doesn't seem to the best
