Is harder to KO a opponent from a body punch or head punch ?

Body shot.

Body snatchers use body shots to *** up their opponents' stamina most of the time. In elite level, there are much more head KOs.

But, there are some exceptions like GGG. Derevyan did hurt him with body shot, no one could with head shot.

That's missing a big part of the story. Consistent body work slows the feet down and brings the guard lower which enables the fighter to land the shots to the head that would have otherwise been blocked. Fighters that go to the body consistently almost always do better than those that do not.

You didn't watch much Mike Tyson then... Tyson dropped Spinks with a body shot for instance. He absolutely punished Biggs to the body. And his bodywork opened up the head for many of his finishes. And that's just one guy. There's probably thousands of body shot finishes in title fights in all of the other weight classes. Really a bizarre take.

drop is not KO


you proved my point. when you have to dig up a fight from 40 years ago. you already lost.

Dumb take body shots don't affect fighters, if that is the case no one would bother throwing them. Top boxers have gone down from body shots, or hurt, if not gone down then body shots take their toll and slow the boxers down

See anything in there about KO's?

When you have to backtrack and pretend you were saying something that's demonstrably different from what's in the quoted text, you've already lost.

I brought up Tyson because he's famous for body punching, not because he's the only guy ever to do it. Beterbiev dropped Usyk with a body shot in the amateurs for instance. AJ vs Klitschko was a good demonstration of body shots to break someone down. Wilder only has a right hand, and Fury's not really known for stoppages, so you're going to have to look back to better heavyweight eras if you want to see more at heavyweight.

But that's an asinine cherry pick anyways. Heavyweight is the least skilled division, and every other division sees body shots and body shot stoppages all the time. Tank Davis? Canelo? Inoue? Crawford? Lomachenko? Even Ryan García?

I mean, this has got to be one of the most YDKSAB takes I've seen yet.

The body can take more punishment particularly at heavy , and are a bigger target easier to land on but also leaves a guard open more . You don’t hit fighters in the head to slow them down you hit the body . If knockouts were easier to get with body shots you’d see more of them and more fans acting surprised if a head shot stopped a fight .

It also depends on individual, I mean a guy like heavyweight Dimitrenko has a body of glass couldn’t take shots for anything there . I don’t know off hand anyone who was known to get consistently knockouts with body shots ?

Body shots, I mean they are more rare at the high level.

Because there is more danger in landing them so fewer attempts are made, KOs are about accuracy as much as power and landing shots that are not seen coming, just anatomically it's easier to fire for the head than the body.

Which one is harder to do body shot or headshot

Harder to KO the body, most elite fighters and atgs really have very solid mid sections, it can also be acquired and trained for, while a weak chin? You can only do so much to improve it. A lot of atgs have not so great chins while most of them very solid mid sections.
