Just to put this on the record: Effective body punching doesn't mean wading in and throwing nothing but punches at his body for 5 rounds. You can be an effective body puncher with 1,2, or 3 punches a fight if they are properly timed and placed.

That is key to any, ANY, effective punch. Timing. Timing and placement. That is why counters are so much more effective than leaping out and throwing blows.
