How come HW fights so rarely end via body shot?

    Interesting thread. Anyone got any suggestions for the best heavyweight body shot KOs?

    I can't think of any exceptional ones like say Golovkin vs Murray.

    I've rarely seen a HW with a consistent body attack, and why they do it's often chest shots

    Lenier "The Body Snatcher" (I gave him that nickname) Pero broke three of his last opponent's ribs with one right hand.

    He worked the body the whole fight. Just kept chopping away at the trunk of that tree.

    That's also why heavyweights wear their shorts so high. ;)

    Who remembers Allen nailing Browne with the body?
