one of the best punches in the sport. if you watchted the fight for the first 6 rounds Ionue was just throwing single jab body shots with nothing after that. he was setting him up. round 8 he throws a jab tp to the body and immedietly throws a hard right hand after that and that's all she wrote. a jab to the body is one of the best weapons in the sport. mayweather and andre ward were greats at using this punch.
Yeah, he was tagging that body all night. Fulton complained about one body shot in the mid rounds, but the replay showed it was perfectly placed. Impressive, most impressive.
Underrated punch. I think it's Teo Lopez's best punch. In both the Loma and Taylor wins he used it to get their opponent totally off-rhythm. And if you have that quick twitch muscle speed like Inoue and Lopez, it can hurt, too.
Yes and straight body shots also are why I scored the early rounds for Haney in Haney/Loma. It's a great and clean punch with some impact, and when there aren't a lot of head shots they can be decisive in scoring. For me, anyway.
That first knock down was identical to when Pacquiao knocked down Thurman. Jab to the body followed by a quick right over top.
Mayweather had a fantastic jab to the body, but I don't think I've ever seen it used as effectively as in this fight.
The jab to the body was very effective. It started to discourage Fulton from coming in towards the end.
