Toughest Fighters Stopped/Dropped By Bodyshots

Willie Pastrano...dancing master, boxing master Willie Pastrano was only dropped once in his entire career, at the very end in that 6th round from a WICKED body shot..a left hook to the liver from Jose Torres..it ended 2 rounds later with Willie on his stool, unable to continue. It really ruined Willie health over the years after that.

 

Pacquiao's loss to Torrecampo was from a shot to the point of the chin.

 

Russell, he had liver problems after that fight..in an interview he said that he was told by those close to him to "go get it checked out"..and it contributed to his death later on.

 

Eddie Mustafa Muhammed hurt Marvin Johnson badly with a left hook to the body.

 

Right...that was a bodypunching clinic..Eddie's best career performance, IMO.

 

Watch this vid here. It shows the full fight, plus a slow-mo inside replay:

I could never figure out where that punch landed either until I saw this replay.

 

Funny enough, the punch actually did travel from his chin down to his balls.

 

Sometime after Hagler's rematch with Watts, he hired on Boogaloo as a sparring partner, and Bobby seriously injured Marv in training with a body shot. While it wasn't in competition, neither was Hagler someone who took it particularly easy on his spar mates, and this incident and resulting layoff received some coverage in the Boston papers. This appears to have been a fluke happenstance, but it does raise some questions about how a body punching specialist like McCallum or Zale might have done against him.

 

Tyson made Michael Spinks drop by a bodyshot. That's all I can think of now...
