Rabbit Punch
Rabbit Punch is a 1948 Warner Bros. cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny.

Bugs finds himself in a boxing match with a brutish and not-very-bright boxer. The title is a play on an actual (and illegal) boxing move, a punch to the back of the head.

Rabbit punch
A rabbit punch is a punch to the neck or to the base of the skull. It is considered dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, which may lead to serious spinal cord injury or even death. For this reason the punch is illegal in boxing and many other combat sports that involve striking. The punch's name is derived from the use of the technique by hunters to kill rabbits with a quick, sharp strike to the back of the head, for instance using a blunt object such as a steel pipe.
