pummeller
One who thrashes
A pummeller is someone who pummels—who beats or strikes repeatedly with the fists.
The word suggests sustained, vigorous blows rather than a single hit: The boxer proved himself a relentless pummeller.
Figuratively, anything that batters or pounds can be a pummeller: a pummeller of public opinion.
Also spelled pummeler.
