What has more dibilitating potential: Body shots or head shots?

In a fight, I'd rather be hit with a good shot to the head than the body.

 

Agreed ^

 

To the head most single punches don't matter that much (when you're getting hit with combinations it's a different matter), but a single punch to the liver can end it. Then again without headgear you could also break your jaw, which doesn't feel very good I imagine. Tough call, it's a draw for me

 

Body. Body shots suck, and it's much easier to break someone down to the body. A sustained body attack, a heavy one, will completely break someone down; I've seen it happen to guys in the amateurs even.

 

with body shots there's a far greater amount of possible internal injury, more bones to break and organs to bruise up. the effects definitely last a lot longer too unless you KTFO someone with a hell of a shot to the head.

 

if you are talking pros. the body would be better to work. you can come out of a daze when getting hit in the head but if you get a cracked rib you are feeling it for twelve rounds.

same with amateur even. you feel it alot more the next mourning when your body was busted up

 

thats cuz with body shots theres no easy off switch like a conventional KO. you're just beating the other guy into submission until his organs/body give out and he can't continue anymore.

 

id have to say body shots. but if i got just 1 shot im goin to single out the chin.

 

right obviously if you only have one shot aim for the head, but the original question is overall potential in which case body is far worse.

 

and like i said body shots. personally if someone isnt on their game a nice angle off to the left and a hook to the diaphram would drop someone pretty quickly.

 

you hit someone hard enough it won't matter where the shot lands. That's my personal philosophy.

 

Repeated pummeling all over the place. This kid I know who's 132 is a nasty body puncher.
