Head shots can at least put them on hold and you can dance around. While both are crucial, if you throw nothing but body shots, your defense is going to be a lot worse most likely.
That is true. You do pay a price for hunting the body.
Body shots or head shots.
I'll leave this one out there, pretty broad.

Both.. that's why trainers are constantly telling their boxers to "mix it up".. this refers to going high and low.. "mix up those punches" is another.. Not to be confused with "throw more combos" which refers to head shots only in most cases..
there isnt a straight answer 2 this question,they are both very important for different reasons.it all depends on the fighter and his style,his opponent and it can even come down 2 which round the fiht is in IMO

Body shots. Because you dont have to be a puncher, when you have softened somebody up with body punches, and their punch resistance is gets less and less, because of the fatigue that is starting to set in. Ive lost count of the amount of fights ive watched, where fighters have taken body shots consistently throughout, and they seem fine, but then seem to capitulate from fatigue in matter of 1/2 more rounds. Its like a light switch comes on, and they have turned old in the matter of one round.

A well placed body shot with a descent amount of power can take the wind out of nearly anybody, hurt them, and stop them. I voted body shots yet there both just as great as another individually.

depends on a lot of things: who is the opponent and how hard do you punch, among other things.
You must know that body shots open up more opportunities for the head. If you invest in the body sucessfully the judges won't matter. bcause you'd be heading for a stoppage or K.O victory
However, if you invest quite a bit, but it doesn't hurt the guy enough, then sometimes the judgess don't score it and you have to face the scorecards.

Paraphrasing Joe Louis upon getting asked if he liked getting hit in the body "ain't nobody that likes getting hit in the body".
Still I believe in the need for versitility, so a mixture of both is what I think would truly be most effective.
When it comes to most fighters, they tend to end up neglecting the body as opposed to head shots so I will call body work more importent.
Body blows hurt more, but head shots score points wit the judges and tend to create more KO's. Judges seem like they don't notice body shots most of the time unless they visibly are doublin a guy over.
