    There's been a recent variation of punch resistance assessment called the "glass body," which has become popular since Usyk was hit with a low blow in the Dubois fight.

    Forgetting the fact that it was a clearly illegal shot, the idea that shots to the body reveal an equivalent weakness to a head shot that is analogous to a glass jaw is misplaced These are different parts of the anatomy and the general resistance to a good body shot just isn't the same as the sturdiness of a mandible.

    To sum up, glass jaws most certainly exist and this has been documented throughout the history of boxing. "Glass bodies" do not exist - it is a made up misplaced analogy developed by modern boxing fans that is, at best, unproven and questionable.

    Yep... all three guys have been hurt or stopped, due to opponents ilegally teeing off on their nutsacks.

    That whole narrative was created to diminish Usyk and help Fury duck him, while continuing to fight old cripples and guys who never boxed before.... now that Fury was suckered into the fight, I'd be surprised if even his jelly brain is stupid enough to believe that narrative

    He also lost to Fierro via KO but that was a punch to the head. However, he was hurt to the body several times. I remember Corralles and one more guy hurting him to the body too.
    Machado did not take body shot to well.

    "Glass bodies don't exist"

    BHAHAHAHA

    They do...

    The funny part is how many people are IGNORANT to how you can be hurt to the body and hide it..Usyk hides it pretty well. He has been hurt to the body many times if you pay attention and crippled a few times also. Fury is going to hurt Usyk to the body. I don't think he'll cripple him but it will put Usyk off his game enough for Fury to find holes.
