I tend to believe this could be the case. This day & age it’s not difficult to find information on things like how to punch, etc.. Much different than when I grew up, when there wasn’t an internet. Books, videos or in-person training was it. YouTube likely wasn’t even a thought yet.Yes, this makes much more sense to me than killer carrying two weapons. He had been a boxer (so he said), so he knew how to “effectively punch,” as you put it.

Bryan Kohberger once bragged about cutting fish, boxing routine on job application

To expand a bit more without being overly graphic, there is a correct way to throw a traditional closed fisted punch, which is typically taught to both students of boxing & self defense, and all other ways to punch which are most likely incorrect or potentially harmful to the aggressor. The correct way typically utilizes the first 2 knuckles only, which reduces the chances of injury to the hand of the person throwing the punch. Adding a solid object to the closed fist (held like a bicycle handlebar grip or knife handle, for example) makes it such that the fist won’t collapse or compress as much, which in turn may increase the damage of a punch when it lands. Other factors are to be considered &/or employed but no need for me to go into those details unless to satisfy curiosity, as they likely have little to do with the unfortunate events which most likely occurred.
