body shot

A powerful punch, usually a hook or uppercut, delivered to the body in any combat sport. Often used to open up defenses and set up head shots. Power punches to the liver area are also intensely painful, and capable of knocking an opponent down or even ending the fight.

Mike Tyson punched so hard, he probably could have won fights with body shots alone.

Bas Rutten throws an infamous liver/body shot, that has put many an opponent down.
