Yet that tactic did not win him the match.

But it won him the previous 6 rounds, to your logic you can't win a boxing match with the tactic but technically that's not true?

I didn't say you can't win at all...... But he didn't only hit him with body shots did he.

All I have said is punching to the head is a key part and clearly a major part of the game.
You could pick any fight in the history of boxing and there would be significantly more shots at the head than the body.

"it doesn't detract from the point originally made, that the only way you'll actually win a fight is if you hit your opponent in the head."

If you can give me an example of someone who won a fight who didn't hit to the head I'll admit defeat and give you a free pass on forum warnings for a week.

So, is it a good link-up or not, I'm now none the wiser

Re: Wakefield Trinity boxing club : Mon Nov 25, 2019 1:20 pm  

Boxing isn't really for me but overall it requires great skill although I have seen a few who were just sluggers and hoped they hit them hard enough to sit them on their backsides. As for head shots most bouts I have seen have had facial cuts, bloody noses, bruises, black eyes and swelling so someones definitely been aiming for the head and to steal a very old joke if it's not the opponent someone needs to keep an eye on the Referee.

This is getting weird .
We all know that more punches land to the head more than anywhere else, but there's been some great fighters past and present who know how to destroy opponents bodies, Ricky Hatton was one of the best, nowadays, GGG, Canelo, Spence & Inoue. A couple of my favorite KO body finishes below.
