Kidney punches are illegal in boxing. Liver punch on the other hand is gold. Literally a light tap that's not seen is enough to drop someone if they're inhaling.
Just wondering how many boxers out there, does anyone ever target their opponent's kidneys or liver during fighting matches or boxing matches? And if so,... has delivering kidney or liver shots to an opponent ever helped you win a fight?
Has anyone out there ever been weakened or lost a fight because of being punched in the liver or kidneys?
Or stomach punches/body blows of any sort?
Yes, I have taken a few liver punched during my kickboxing bouts. In return, I have landed uppercuts and hooks to the liver. I really get turned on when my opponent flinches and brings down his hands to shield his midsection from my body punching onslaught. Body punching wins fights, I like to say.
I KOd a sparring partner with a liver shot some years ago. We weren't going that hard. Although he was smaller than me, he was aggressive. He stayed in a little too long in one exchange and my left hook to the body found his liver. He suddenly crumpled to the canvas, gasping for breath. I was very surprised. It took him nearly 5 minutes to get his breath back, regain composure and get back up. Then he was back on the floor looking for his contact lens. Many years later, in 2022, I was TKO'd with a liver shot in a match against a MF opponent who is one of the best boxers on here.

The kidneys are a protected species, but the spleen is a legitimate target for the right hand, as the liver is for the left.
