Body Shot
A punch aimed at the body rather than the head, targeting the ribs, solar plexus, or liver. Body shots accumulate damage throughout a bout and can drain a fighter's energy and willingness to fight. A well-placed body shot to the liver can stop a fight immediately. Body work is an essential part of complete boxing technique.
