What happens

Rabbit Punch is a 1948 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon. The short was released on April 10, 1948 and features Bugs Bunny. The work features a boxing match between "Battling McGook" (identified as "The Crusher" in subsequent cartoons) and Bugs Bunny. The script reuses several gags from Baseball Bugs, which also had contributions from Michael Maltese, but was directed by Friz Freleng. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
