    Fighters have been saying it for quite a while, body shots hurt more than head shots. They takes your opponent's breath away and inflict sustained pain. However, the most dangerous shot is probably to the temple.

        Body shots have always been important. Chavez made a career out of going to the body

            Kill the body and the head will follow. cant remember who said it...ahh it doesn't matter. Going to the body works, and I think more and more fighters are going to start training more on the body attack.

                Body shots are a very important part of a boxers arsenal. Not quite as important as a good jab though.

                  Yep. everything works of the Jab. Hell, for guys like Lewis and Holmes, it was their bread and butter. Working off the jab is what boxing is all about. The jab is so important I dont know where to begin in describing what all it accomplishes.
