Body punching in Boxing

Reviewer Genuinely excellent breakdown of setting up and landing the body shot from someone who made a career of it.

Moderator Hatton talks through the body shot start to finish - the targets (solar plexus, floating ribs), leading with it versus setting it up off the head first, and the risk of getting countered if you lead with it. This is entirely about the body shot.

Reviewer This is the real deal - clear technique, credible coach, practical setups you can use immediately.

Moderator A comprehensive, structured tutorial by an Olympic medallist boxer covering every body punch (jab, cross, hooks, uppercuts) - how to throw it, generate power, and when to use it. Exactly and thoroughly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Thorough, practical coverage across ranges - the elbow-brush uppercut cue alone is worth the watch.

Moderator Comprehensive, dedicated body punching video covering targeting, long-range shots, and mid/close-range setups (uppercuts, hooks) - all squarely on the sub-skill.

Reviewer Excellent grounding - precise targets, the shockwave-angle principle, and a clean fix for the classic punch-down mistake.

Moderator Explicitly an introduction to body punching - targeting, long-range delivery, and a wrap on close/mid-range - entirely on topic throughout.

Reviewer Great detail - two real ways to sneak the right hand into the body, not just theory.

Moderator Entirely about landing right hands to the body - solar plexus angle and the rib angle disguised as an overhand. Squarely on the sub-skill.

Reviewer Sharp, specific coaching -- targets, setups, footwork, the whole package.

Moderator Whole video is dedicated to body punching -- solar plexus vs liver targets, how to disguise the shot, footwork to change angle and land it. This is the sub-skill front to back.

Reviewer This kind of detail actually changes how a body shot lands.

Moderator Full clip is built around slipping into range and firing an uppercut into the liver -- squarely body punching, with real biomechanics behind it.

Reviewer Names the real mistake and the tell that gets you countered for it.

Moderator This is exactly the sub-skill: landing the uppercut/shovel hook to the body, elbow position on the setup, and specifically how to throw it without telegraphing (not dipping the head or eyes early). Every part of this is body-punching technique.

Reviewer Sharp inside-fighting lesson on chaining body hooks off your opponent's shots.

Moderator All about setting up hooks to the body - slipping inside properly and chaining hook combinations. Squarely the sub-skill.

Reviewer Real coaching gold on timing the body hook off your opponent's punches.

Moderator Dead center on body punching - entire clip is about landing the left hook to the body, nothing else discussed.

Reviewer Really solid - explains the reasoning and technique for each body shot with real examples.

Moderator Entirely dedicated to body punching - reasons to target the body, jab/cross/hook/uppercut to the body each broken down, with pro examples (Mayweather, Tyson, Naoya Inoue) and a specific drill. Squarely the sub-skill.

Reviewer Detailed, correctable cues you can actually use.

Moderator Straight right to the body into an uppercut, drilled punch by punch with the coach correcting footwork and hand position throughout -- this is body punching instruction start to finish.

Reviewer Fixes a mistake most boxers don't know they're making.

Moderator Precisely about body-punch power generation - rear foot staying planted, hip rotation, not falling onto the front foot. Clean technical breakdown.

Reviewer Detailed, practical, worth slowing down for.

Moderator Detailed, structured body-shot coaching - breaks the half-assed punch problem down, gives a specific injury-prevention cue (don't overextend, pop the elbow), and builds into combos. This is a full session, squarely on the sub-skill.

Reviewer Well-drilled, clearly demonstrated, easy to actually copy.

Moderator Whole video is a structured drill built around landing hooks to the body off a roll, clearly centered on body punching integrated with head combos.

Reviewer Real coaching detail you can take straight to the gym.

Moderator Squarely on-topic mitt-work coaching for catching and throwing jab/cross/lead hook to the body -- exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Specific, correct combination work - a bit choppy to read but sound.

Moderator Four explicit setup combinations to land the solar plexus punch off a preceding body shot - left hook to liver into right uppercut, right hook to the ribs into left uppercut, and same-hand variations. This is exactly what body punching instruction looks like.

Reviewer Fixes a mistake that kills your body shots - stay tall, don't dive in.

Moderator Whole video is about the stance/positioning that lets you land body shots - directly on the sub-skill even though it's about setup rather than a specific punch.

Reviewer Real coaching insight on reading openings for the body shot - more than just highlights.

Moderator A tactical breakdown of how Mike McCallum set up and landed body shots against different guard reactions and opponent movements (tighten guard, head movement, slipping). Squarely about body punching strategy and setups.

Reviewer Real tactical gold on setting up the body shot, just a little rough in delivery.

Moderator This is a dedicated body punching lesson from a veteran coach -- why body shots score, how to use a feint to the head to open the body, and how to execute it. Straight down the middle of the skill.

Reviewer Good game-planning, light on deep mechanics.

Moderator Whole video is tactical advice on how and when to target the body depending on height mismatch -- long jabs, straight rights, uppercuts to the body, feints. Squarely on skill.

Reviewer Good quick reminder of where and how to target the body, but it's a soundbite, not a lesson.

Moderator Entirely about body punch targeting precision - nothing else in the short runtime.

Moderator A fighter's favourite set-up for landing a big body shot without eating a counter: bring the hands up, flick the right hand to draw a parry or tighten the guard, punch out from the opponent's shoulder angle, then drive the body shot in off the front leg. Squarely body punching.

Reviewer Practical set-up from someone who's knocked people out with it. Short but worth the minute.

Reviewer Small clip, real insight - punch with the body.

Moderator Live coaching correction squarely about body punching mechanics - punching with the body, not telegraphing the shot. Real coach, real student, real fix.

Moderator Throwing the jab and cross to the body without eating a counter: drop your level so you go under his punch, since you never punch down, and defend a body jab with the elbow and forearm while the hand stays up. Squarely body punching, with the defensive side included.

Reviewer Solid and practical: level change on the way in, elbows down to defend. Short but the right stuff.

Moderator About body punching form at close range - keeping it tight instead of long-armed, protecting the chin on the return. Directly on topic, simple framing.

Reviewer Simple fix, good for someone just starting out.

Reviewer One smart set-up from fight experience. Doesn't teach the punch mechanics.

Moderator A pro boxer on landing the body shot on experienced opponents: get inside, touch the face lightly a few times to hide the intent, then whip the body shot without the slip everybody expects. Squarely body punching, from a set-up and disguise angle.

Reviewer Good tactical nugget but very rushed - you get the idea, not much depth on how to execute it.

Moderator Centered on a specific body-punching setup tactic (tap centerline to open the flank, tap flank to open centerline) - clearly on topic though narrow in scope.

Reviewer Nice cue on dipping into the body shot after a head shot, but you're getting it wrapped inside combo work, not a body-punching deep dive.

Moderator Body punches are integral to each combo shown (two to the body, lead hook to the body) but the video's frame is combination-building generally, with body shots as one component rather than the sole focus.

Reviewer Good tactics, thin on actual mechanics -- watch it for the why, not the how.

Moderator Genuine body-punching coaching content -- target selection (liver/solar plexus/ribs), setups, feints, MMA-framed but the punching mechanics themselves stay on-topic, not clinch/grappling. Doesn't stray into unrelated MMA territory.

Moderator Straight-up body-attack clip - stresses closing to close range and staying low before committing to the body, and how that opens up angles afterward. Nothing else going on here, it's on-topic front to back.

Reviewer Solid concept but pretty thin on the how - good reminder, not a full lesson.

Reviewer Good detail on why that closing body shot lands so clean off the roll.

Moderator The combination opens with a jab, pin-jab, and right hand, but it closes with a defensive roll into a lead hook to the body, and that body shot gets its own explanation of why it lands. Covers the body shot as the payoff of the combination rather than the whole video, but it's genuinely there and well explained.

Reviewer Good idea, but not enough technical detail to really learn from.

Moderator Short but entirely on-topic -- slipping under a jab and delivering a straight punch to the ribs/heart, explained as a two-phase move. Everything said is about executing a body punch.

Reviewer Good tactical idea, thin on how to actually execute it.

Moderator Entirely about a tactical body punch -- a short right hand to the heart used by a shorter fighter to slow down a taller opponent. Squarely on topic even though it's brief.

Reviewer Good insight into why it works, but it won't teach you how to throw one.

Moderator This is fight-footage analysis of a real body shot KO -- breaks down liver placement and why a clean left hook to the body ends fights regardless of toughness. Squarely on-skill even though it's framed as commentary rather than a drill.

Reviewer Useful on where to aim, but it's a teaser for a longer video with no technique yet.

Moderator Opens body punching from the target: the bottom of the breastbone as the centre-line sweet spot, then the area just under the ribs where the liver and spleen sit. Squarely on body punching, covering the where-to-hit part, then points you to a longer video.

Reviewer Good concept, thin on the specifics.

Moderator About body punching, specifically punching through the target rather than at the surface, plus some risk/reward mentality around trading. Less mechanical detail than the others in this batch, more conceptual/motivational.
