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.

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.

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

body shots are silent but deadly.....head shots look vicious but it seems like i get hurt more to the body than the head....so i voted body shots

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.

i rarely feel any pain from a bodyshot
head shots can make you blackout and it can mess up some neck muscles

but yea, i'd agree body shots are more useful, because they stiffen the core muscles and slow down the whole person

plus a great setup for an uppercut or somethin

I'd say headshot score more.

Body shots or head shots.

I'll leave this one out there, pretty broad.

Vote. Discuss.

depends on a lot of things: who is the opponent and how hard do you punch, among other things.
