Liver Shot

A punch targeted at the liver, located on the right side of the body just below the ribs. A clean liver shot causes intense, immediate pain and can drop even the most conditioned fighter. It is typically landed with a left hook to the body (against an orthodox opponent) and is one of the most fight-ending punches in boxing.
