Liver Punch

The liver punch is another boxing punch. It a quick punch with a short movement, therefore, many times, spectators see it effects but miss seeing the punch itself. The punch is a left hook or uppercut that impacts under and to the front of the ninth and tenth rib and drive upward to the base of the shoulder blade toward the spine. It is usually delivered after drawing an opponent to lead with his right, which leaves the body exposed. Since the liver is the largest of the vital organs, a blow to it shocks it and causes a sickening feeling and saps the energy from the fighter.

Side Punch

A fore fist punch executed straight out to the side of the body. It is usually delivered from a side facing stance. It may be used as an initial movement before moving in with a combination attack. When used from a side facing position, you are less open to counter attack.

Double-Side Punch

Because of body position, the leading fore fist punch is executed straight out to the side of the body and the trailing reverse punch is executed across and in front of the chest. It is used to strike two opponents who are attacking simultaneously.
