Puncher
An athlete who uses a fighting style in which he fights at a medium distance. In doing so, the boxer must combine technique and power, aiming to knock out the opponent with a single powerful hit or a series of hits. The moves in the ring and tactics of pugilists are similar to those of techniques of outfighters (though often they are not as agile). Athletes of this style mostly win by knockout rather than by points, and they have to be in great physical shape to do so.
