Why can some boxers take body shots better than others ?

[WillieWild114]

Is it because of their defensive or more muscles or more fat

[Toffee]

Some people are different from other people. In fact most are.

Might be because some fighters are better than others at identifying when a body shot is coming and embracing for it by hardening their mid section. If you notice, bodyshot KD’s/KO’s come from punches the fighter doesn’t see coming.

Most guys that get hurt to the body are:
1. hit when they're not looking/breathing out/not tensed up
or
2. out of shape so they fatigue faster
or
3. weak in their core muscle groups

Or some combination of the three.
