    Judging on clean punches to the body and head I think GGG opponent has been showing more effect from punches to the body then head shots. Could it be his body punches are more powerful?

    he never hit Murray with a clean Grade A head shot (but several Grade B's). overall he puts much more force into his body shots.

    his body shots will chop down any tree not named Victor Ortiz, but yeah, they are pretty brutal

    he just hits you more clean to your body, as his opponents are so worried about getting hit on the chin by him they forget to protect their body. But if he starts getting more reputation as a devistating body puncher his opponents will be wary of his body shots more then his head shots and then he will probabaly start hitting his opponenets more clean up top and get more KO's from head shots.

    body punches hurt more then head punches... liver shots are the worst thing in this world

    Agree

    He mixes up really well too

    And his accuracy means he can piace a body shot right on that floating rib with enough power to break it

    no one 'forgets' to protect their body against him. he's had a rep for being a fierce body puncher for years now. it's just that they can't protect everything.
