Open-palm strikes (rabbit-punches) actually allow you to hit harder as you dont lose power through weak wrists joints.

You dont really have to hit someone very hard in the head area to put them down anyway. Plus you faster lighter punches allow you to set up an opponent. It only takes 3-4lbs of pressure to break a jaw if the mouth is open. And not very much pressure to break a nose either.
