Physical Strategies posts a great video of Mickey Ward dealing an awesome knockout via kidney hook. Watch the video.Few things demoralize you more than a good body shot. I lost my first fight at recess via an uppercut while I was inhaling. I went down immediately, and didn't want to get up! It took the wind out of my sails. I'm now a big fan of them. The kidneys are one of the best punching locations, and the floating rib for those side and back kicks.

Body shots hurt big time. Boxers are said to have good chins, but I've never heard of a fighter that could take too much punishment to the body. A reverse punch or cross to the solar plexus will end things quickly as will a spin-around-back kick to the ribs. There's a reason TKD players wear those chest protectors.
