What is the worse body shot you have seen a fighter recover from? Only thing that comes to mind right now is Maidana/Khan. A video would be great.
Holyfield vs Cooper there was a body shot in there that had cooper turning around and nearly running away from Evander, he almost quit but hung in there to take the rest of the beating. Note: Cooper had almost got Holyfield out of there in that fight as well
Not that it put the fighter down but the body shots JMM was landing on Katsidis were so loud on TV. I dont know if it was because of my sound system having the bass turned up high but those things were sounding brutal. I actually though Katsidis would be stoppd from those shots alone.
Those were some brutal shots Dinamita was landing...I remember one shot, i think it was in the 2nd, where Marquez lands this sharp right hand to Kats ribcage...**** was so loud, i thought he was gonna break his ****ing ribs out there. But you best believe those body shots wored Katsidis down, and definetly contributed to his eventual stoppage loss.
They were solid shots, but nothing compared to the shot Maidana took. Maidana has to be crazy in some type of way. 90% of fighters would have folded that night.
Gatti-Ward. I don't believe it gets any worse than that. Gatti was unbelievably lucky to not be waved off by the referee after getting up.
Yeah, that and Ward-Augustus too. I know Juan Manuel Marquez landed a sick body shot on Robbie Peden that hurt him, but didn't drop him. Then in between rounds, Peden vomited in his corner and the fight was halted.
Didn't drop him but the 3 or 4 body shots lennox caught vitali with in a row. They sounded like a sledge hammer hitting flesh. Vitali just took them and came back like a ****ing terminator
