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

if it works then it works. dont be stupid about it if youre getting popped quick in the head and hes getting the points.

 

A body shot brought out the funniest thing I've ever heard in a ring. 3rd santioned match...hit my opponent in the solarplex and he yelped like a dog. Loud too. So loud and strange, it caught me off guard and I giggled and lost my focus. Sounded like if you accidentally step on a dogs tail or something.

A few weeks after that, got hit really hard when sparring , but in the liver...and I had a better understanding of what that was about. Couldn't move and just waited to throw up. Didn't puke on the canvas, but sure thought I was gonna. No fun at all.

 

unless its in the forehead, thigh, or bicep or something odd like that.

 

actually the bicep and shoulders can cause cramping and tire the **** out of you making you drop your arm. one good punch can make your lead arm useless. that is what happend to one of my teammates at the national junior olympcs. his shoulder got ****ed up bad.

 

ofcourse but just throwing 1 shot and hittin someone in the bicep would just **** them off. atleast it would me anyways.

 

I would always recommend going to the body.

 

Exactly, have a look at this amateur fight from England. The fighter in the red corner is my son. The other fighter is now No.3 in England at Open Class. And a lot heavier than I was told that night. With the sustained body shots.... F/F to the 3rd. round..... you can see the fighter has no fight in him. You can see him bend over to be sick, then it goes to the decision. Bad editing really. I'd never seen anybody spew up in the ring before like that.

watched bout 2 minutes. ugly fight.

 

Body shots are so underrated. Every person I've ever hurt in sparring has been via body shots. People just don't seem to give them the attention they deserve, and you can really surprise people with a good body attack. But having said that I find that it's a lot harder to land good body shots than head shots. People focus on the melon for good reason: it's the most obvious place to do some damage. I mean 90% of the body shots I've copped I've barely felt them, you really have to hit the sweet spot. And competition wise often they're not given the scoring impact they deserve. So the point is you can invest in body shots and have nothing to show for it at the end, but when you land a good one, it's a fight changer. You've gotta have a good body attack to be a complete fighter. It also opens up the defense around the head as they become wary of getting hit to the body.
