Are body shots overrated?

[jmrf4435]

I see the strategy behind the idea of body shots. I just rarely see that strategy pan out successfully(wear the opponents stamina down by going to the body, throw movement off) etc. I just feel like most boxers I have seen with a body shot strategy end up losing the fight.

I don't think body shots do the proper damage unless times and placed correctly to knock wind out. Especially if the receiving end is in very good shape..

I think it depends on who is delivering the blows. Guys like Gallo Estrada and golovkin mix them into their arsenal and really hurt guys because they are so accurate. I feel like a lot of their success is predicated on their body work. But yes, for others it seems like a waste and it doesn't really help them.

Nope but they are heavily over looked

HOW THE **** is a body shot not counted but ear shot is?

just how shots so direct damage, body shots dont.

If you have ever boxed you would know how effective they are. I got hit in the pit of my gut and it literally felt like someone shoved a vacuum into my mouth and ****** the air out.

I liked medina's activity and body work. It worked for him even though he got jobbed.

You have to be in the fighter's shoes to really know.

not really, a scoring blow is a scoring blow.

You ever taken a good shot to the body? Ever see someone stopped by a body shot? Head shot KOs happen because the brain is momentarily short-circuited. Body shot KOs happen because of sheer pain. Body blows tend to be overlooked by many, including judges. If anything, they are underrated, not the other way around.
