    I'm looking for the best body punch knockdowns or knockouts you have ever seen on film, preferably the less obvious stuff, but anything is helpful.

    One of my favorites, and one that is largely unknown, is Eder Jofre's beautiful left hook that had Katsutoshi Aoki wincing in pain.

    Well in recent memory canrlos brutal body shots on liam smith. It was weird because he had a delayed reaction and felt the pain 4 seconds later but he was clearly not faking it. Smith got a lot of respect for that fight because he kept fighting and did his best.

    I was at Mohegan Sun 6/29/13 when a prime GGG broke Macklin's ribs with a left hook that sounded like a gunshot. Macklin fell like he'd been poleaxed. The replay audio does not capture how startlingly loud this shot was.

    Mickey Ward’s crushing left hook to the liver on Arturo Gatti.

    Round 9 of their first fight. Also maybe the greatest round ever.

    I love the way he set that up, too. Nice uppercut that preceded it.

    Wasnt a knockout let alone a knockdown but the left hook to the body that Toney landed on Holyfield in I think round 6 or 7. It made Holyfields leg come up, thats how good it was.

    Alex Saucedo had a good one last Saturday against Abner Lopez on the Valdez vs Quigg undercard.

    Best punch ever Hill vs. Jones is a good one because I thought Hill was doing well on the outside. Tyson vs. Spinks. Bernard vs. Oscar. Which was very similar to Jones vs. Hill.

    Tho not a KD or KO and, I'm not a big fan of Ray Leonard, his 6th round body shot to Hearns in their first fight took the wind out of Tommy's sails.
