    Has a boxer ever died from a body shot?

    There have been many unfortunate cases of fighters dying from accumulated damage to the head, concussions, blood clots, etc

    but I've been wondering if anyone has ever died from the damage caused by a body shot, as in internal bleeding, maybe a broken rib puncturing an organ, etc

    Anyone knows of a case like this?

    Good question, dunno really, would guess probably happened a couple of times between 1870-1920 (?) since there were barely any rules back then, referees didnt really stop a fight till the fighters were on the brink of death so wouldnt be surprised if some1 got punched repeatedly in the liver/kidney and inner hemorrhage occured, and critical inner bleedings back then would mean pretty much certain death

      Rumour has it that ODH's sexual organs changed ever since he got knocked out by a bodyshot from Bernard Hopkins.

            In other words, there are no widely known cases

            DLH threw that fight. That KO was staged

            How many fighters have the energy to pound the canvas in frustration right after a fight-ending body shot like Oscar did?

            to make it more su****ious, Bhop signed with Oscar and became a partner in GBP a few days after the fight

            fishy, to say the least
