What's the best bodyshot you've ever seen?

Ray Robinson's right hook to the kidneys with all the weight on his lead foot. It was a signature shot, and it caused LaMotta more distress than any single headshot could have.

Tyson Fury's right uppercut to Steve Cunningham's solar plexus. That was the real fight-ender, not the bludgeoning headshot that subsequently put him down.

McClellan's destructive left hook, typified against James Williamson.

Sergey Kovalev's jab or straight right to the torso.

I loved Andre Ward's left hook very late in his rematch with Kovalev. There were a couple of sickeners he threw to the body in center ring that visibly hurt Kovalev but went largely unremarked upon amid the furore that followed the stoppage.



Too many to sit here all night and bring to mind, with these limited free hours.

 

Khan with the double KD on Maidana

 

Any Chong Pal Park fight is full of great, raw bodyshots. You rarely see a fighter focus so exclusively to the body, to be honest, certainly exceptional for such a higher weight class.

RJJ - that exorcism shot.. i dont think it was virgil hill but im pretty dumb so maybe it was

 

Jeff Lampkin was a fantastic body puncher with an iron chin to boot, he ended multiple high profile bouts with a single well placed, thudding shot to the body. Behold.

Jones vs. Hill or Hopkins vs. Oscar.

 

Bute vs Andrade II

First dropped Librado hard with a beautifull uppercut then put him out of his misery with a killer shot to the liver

 

It was something of a counter punch to the body, wasn't it? I remember Bute having an incredible pull/wind up on it before he dug it into Andrade's stomach...

 

golovkins shot on macklin was a great one had him in agony on the floor

 

jirov was one of the best body punchers i had seen.

barry mcguigan left hook to the body was his best and hardest punch
he used to shut down opponents offense by continuesly focussing on full body torque left hooks to the ribs

made his opponents not want to throw there right hand as they wanted it to cover there body
