    There’s been a lot of talk on ESB over the years about Glass Jaws @Zakman Well Glass Body’s also exist in boxing and Usyk is the President of this club, getting hurt with almost any body shot. GGG also doesn’t like body shots but he hides it well. Who else has a glass body?

    Here is Usyk faking another low blow. AJ could’ve gone onto stop him. He’s been doing this his WHOLE career and been getting away with it.

    Here’s a compilation of GGG not liking body shots, and bear in mind this video was made before any of the Canelo fights @Serge

    Yeah Usyk does have a leaky body. But then again, I think everyone suffers from body punches. I generally believe that Is the way to beat Usyk.

    Usyk is a souped up CW fighting HWs. Not much he can do against a hard punch that lands.

    You posted video shows that shot to have been low...a foul, probably unintentional, but still a low blow.

    It's like posting a picture of a rabbit and saying ...see, it's a lion !

    He immediately moved up to LHW afterwards. At HW he is much slower than his CW version.

    Fury beats him with ease if not knocks him flat. Lighter, younger version (against Huck or Gassiev) would be much more likely to beat the big dosser.

    Jeison Rosario comes to mind. He was taken out by a half-blocked jab to the body from Charlo. Lubin also took Rosario out with body shots.

    Like it @GotchaHat. While the analysis of punch resistance has historically focused mostly on the impact of head shots - and thus on the mandible - there is no question that fighters vary in their ability to take body shots.

    Perhaps it's time for more focus on this important aspect of fighter durability!

    Some do have glass middles, but just for balance Dubois landed several legit hard body shots on Usyk that didn't put him over. If he has a glass middle those would have rocked Usyk more.
