Illegal punches: Punching the hip bone when the ref isnt watching
what do you think is more effective than punching downward on the hip bone? george foreman's first punch on joe frazier was a chopping right to the hip bone when the ref was on the other side, therfore his view was obstructed. That punch seemed to stop frazier in his tracks. he took an awkward step backward and his opposite foot hit the canvass very loudly, you can hear it very loudly on the video.
Foreman also had that awkward-looking chopping right to the kidney. He threw it even in his comeback career against gerry cooney.
What sneaky punches do you think really take the starch out of a fighter besides the obvious low blow??
Mike Tyson used to try to pop blood vessels in the arm-pit area of his opponents by throwing uppercuts underneath their left jabs.

I've been told that the punches to the hip and/or rump area, in the clinch and away from the referee are an attempt to aggravate the sciatic nerve. If it works or not I don't know, but at some point I guess it either did, or some one thought it did.
Early in the Toney/Holyfield fight, Toney landed a left hook high up under Holyfield's right arm that made him visibly wince. Max Baer said that Jack Dempsey, in a training camp demonstration, hit his left bicep so hard that his arm was numb for several minutes.

sciatic nrve, that makes sense. wow, getting nailed on the bicep must be painful as shiit. that hip shot must work because i've seen foreman use it many times.

btw, its gotta be an illegal shot, right?

Difficult to prove the illegality of it. Did not realise it could cause that much damage. I would have thought there would be more damage to the hand landing on the hip area. Good to know. I would aim for the throat. ;D

It only works with a bare knuckle bro (particular with the index knuckle). I saw JMM hit Katsidis cleanly to the throat and it didn't do that much damage.

It used to be common for flat footed brawlers to bang away on the legs and hips of other fighters, especially guys that like to stick and move or dance circles around them. Bruise up the legs and they weren't as fast. It became easier to catch them and corral them into corners. Also, once the hips and legs are bruised, a guy who makes his money off of being fast and agile is now distracted when trying to use his legs.
Joints are the easiest things to go for because you can do the most amount of damage in the shortest amount of time. Aside from tyson hitting guys with forearms and the aforementioned uppercut, that arm bar he liked to use, would put stress on the tendons by hyper extending it.
One of the most common ones i've seen is using your elbows to work over your opponents shoulders. Whenever you see a one fighter miss a shot as two guys come together and then throw a hand up to cover what appears side or back of his head as they fall into a clinch, Pay close attention to where that elbow makes contact with the other fighter.
Take away a fighters weapons and hes got nothing left to hit you with.
Shot to the armpit also hurt like hell because of all the nerve endings there.

How about bouncing up and down in clinches? I've seen this several times- Sammy Fuentes used to do it all the time. In a fight on ESPN, on his way up, he damaged his opponent's jaw (broke it?) badly enough that the fight was stopped.

I imagine a forearm shoved in the through could be pretty aggravating.
