Tommy’s opponent was eventually able to close the distance and get Tommy against the ropes. Boom! Before he knew what hit him, his opponent landed a body shot to the right side of his body, square on his liver. Little did Tommy know at the time just how painful a blow to the liver could be. A properly executed liver shot can essentially “shut down the entire body.”
That is exactly what happened to Tommy. The room changed a shade of color and his ears began to ring. He was done for. The punch never made him drop, but it did indeed end their sparring session. Tommy’s lesson learned that day: body shots are the true punch “secret sauce.” A lesson FightCamp teaches their athletes.
